Rich in a variety of so many elements such as culture, food, heritage, history and lifestyle, there is much to offer and discover in Penang. One example is Chingay, an act of balancing a 35ft to 40ft giant flag, which cannot be found elsewhere in the world but in Penang. Dubbed the food haven of Malaysia, our local fares such as the delicious char koay teow, laksa, hokkien mee, nasi kandar, mee udang and much more are now well known internationally.  

The discoveries of Penang is endless and always enjoyable. Such a gem is Penang that there is something here for everyone because Penang does indeed, Has It All.
