#2月好地方2025 George Town in Penang, northern Malaysia, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2008 and has more than 1,700 buildings of precious historical value. Penang was ceded to Britain by the Sultanate of Kedah in 1786 and was under British colonial rule for more than 150 years between 1826 and 1946. So most of It is easy to get around on foot, by bicycle or tricycle. Don't miss the area around the castle, where the highest concentration of colonial buildings in George Town is located. Next to the castle is the Victoria Memorial Clock Tower / Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Clock Tower built in 1896. At the south end of the castle is the Town Hall built in 1880. Walking further south along the main road, you will see the Supreme Court Building and two nearby churches, St George’s Church and Church of the Assumption. Other colonial relics include the Government House (now called State House) built in 1858, as well as some statues commemorating British monarchs and dignitaries during the colonial era, and the World War I Memorial.

Penang is the city in Malaysia that produces the most blockbusters! The divided George Town is an ideal place to photograph vintage buildings. Among them, St. George’s Church is the oldest Anglican church in Southeast Asia and has a neoclassical style (Penang Foodie). In fact, George Town is full of retro buildings, especially the intersection, which is a very beautiful photo-taking spot. You can walk in the city and every corner is photo-worthy. #GlobalTravel
