In this video series of Penang Island (Pulau Pinang), we are visiting Penang top tourist attractions. This is Penang complete travel guide in 2020. There are many Penang travel videos, travel vlogs but this one takes you an extra deep dive into this rare pearl of Malaysia.
Penang, a world renowned exotic holiday destination was known, once upon a time, as Pulau Pinang. Listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 2008, this virgin paradise has no shortage of cultural sights and natural scenery.
Nicknamed the Pearl of the Orient, Penang is famous for its soft sandy beaches and is fondly regarded as the food capital of Malaysia.
Previously a British port along the Strait of Malacca, Penang is now a blooming city on the cusp of history and modernity. Most importantly, it’s also earned a reputation for being the food capital of Malaysia!
