Komtar

Komtar is a famous landmark building in George City, Penang, Malaysia. It is named after "**Penang**" and "**Everbright**" (**Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak**), and is one of the main commercial and administrative centers in Penang. The design of the building is a combination of commercial, retail, office and government uses. It was originally built in 1974 and completed in 1986, with a height of about 249 meters. With 65 floors, it was one of the tallest buildings in Southeast Asia at the time. In recent years, Komtar has undergone several renovations and renovations, including the addition of a glass corridor (The Rainbow Skywalk), where visitors can overlook the beautiful scenery of George City at high altitude. This building is not only an important landmark in Penang, It is also a frequent destination for locals and tourists.

There were so many people at the cable car on Penang Hill that we could only go to the top to see the view. There are many activities in Guangda. Adults only need to go to the top floor, and children can play below. It would be great if there were professionals 📷, and they would definitely be able to take beautiful scenery photos.

Komtar Penang is a theme entertainment mall with a very good experience. I especially like the Jurassic Experimental Factory, State Gallery and Rainbow Skywalk. There are also a small number of 3D art photo spots in the State Museum, which explain the history of Penang very clearly! The scenery on the skywalk is beautiful, and you can see the most beautiful sunset! The only staff on the trail who I don’t know if they are Bangladeshi or Indian kept saying "Chinese guys..." It seems that they have opinions about Chinese people!

Old but still gold THE TOP. I visited the place with much lowered expectations upon learning how old the establishment was. Ended up spent almost 10 hours here. The place was quite taken care of. I recommend to take the full package if you''ve travelling with younger children.

The Tun Abdul Razak Complex (abbrev. Komtar), formerly the Penang Urban Centre, is a civic complex within the central business district of George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. At the time of its completion in 1985, Komtar Tower, at 231.7 metres (760 ft), was the second tallest building in Asia and the tallest in Southeast Asia until 1986 when it was surpassed by One Raffles Place in Singapore.

Komtar is the tallest building in Penang, except for the top of Penang Hill. My hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from Komtar. I wanted to go to the top to see the night view of Penang on the first night, but it was raining that day and it was closed. There are passes inside, including dinosaur park, 7D movies, etc. I went there on the second night and only bought a 68 ringgit ticket for repeated access to rainbow skywalk.
