I have been to Penang many times but this is the first time that I took a walk along Armenian Street and Cannon Street, passing by some street arts including mural - kids on bicycle, Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi and Hock Teik Cheng Sin Temple. Due to the hot weather, we made a pit stop at one of the cafe for some cold drinks and tau foo fah. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

Exploring the street art of Penang was an exhilarating adventure. The vibrant murals scattered throughout George Town showcased the city’s rich culture and history, each telling a unique story. I was particularly drawn to the intricate details in pieces like "Boy on a Bike," which perfectly encapsulated local life. The tour offered a fantastic blend of art and exploration, with every corner revealing a new masterpiece. To fully appreciate the experience, I suggest taking your time to stroll through the alleys and capture photos of these hidden gems. #traveldiaries #penang #malaysia
