Best treasure hunt you'll ever go on!! Street Art in Penang is plentiful and around every corner. Artists from all over the world come to paint in the streets of George Town and put their creative stamp on walls in alleyways and main streets.

With the development of society, more and more residents are moving away from the old streets. How can we attract tourists and protect this large area of rare ancient city? So the Malaysian government hired Lithuanian artist Ernas to create murals at a high salary. The murals here are different from street graffiti.

And the government did not specially paint the walls to set off the murals, but still used the old natural background, making the murals the cheapest way to get people's attention to the monuments.
