Activity itinerary

Chowrasta Market
  • 1h
Chowrasta Market in Penang is a lively hub that reflects the island’s rich daily life and culture. Every morning, housewives gather here not just to shop, but to catch up on gossip while browsing for fresh vegetables, meat, and fish. The market is known for its unique local offerings like hand-made spring roll skins, traditional snacks, and famous Penang nutmeg and pickles. The atmosphere buzzes with friendly chatter, the scent of spices, and the sizzle of street food being prepared. It’s more than just a market—it’s a community space where tradition, food, and friendships thrive every day.
Kek Lok Si Temple
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
During the British colonial era, the Chinese community in Penang flourished, practicing their faith with devotion and building many grand temples—some said to rival, if not surpass, those in China. One of the most renowned is Kek Lok Si, often described as the largest Buddhist temple complex in Southeast Asia, resembling a spiritual theme park. Built in 1985, visitors can learn about Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism while exploring its beautifully crafted pagodas, vibrant lanterns, intricate statues, and peaceful gardens. Don’t miss the breathtaking view of George Town from the temple grounds. As the locals say: “You haven’t been to Penang unless you’ve visited Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si.”

Rising 833 meters above sea level, it offers a refreshing escape from the tropical heat below.

Its lush rainforest is home to diverse flora and fauna, making it ideal for nature lovers. Penang Hill also plays a role in conservation efforts and promotes eco-tourism through sustainable practices and educational programs.
Batu Ferringhi Beach (Pass by)
Miles and miles of white sandy beach with vibrant beach activities and family-friendly atmosphere like getting a buggy ride or reveling in a banana boat ride or just laze around getting suntan.
Penang Batik Factory

Promoting environmental education and sustainable living, the Tropical Spice Garden offers a serene and immersive experience for nature lovers, families, and cultural enthusiasts.
The Floating Mosque (Pass by)

Built in 2005 after the original mosque was damaged by the 2004 tsunami, it is uniquely designed to appear as if floating on water during high tide. The mosque features Moorish-style architecture, a seven-story minaret, and can accommodate up to 1,500 worshippers. It serves both as a religious and architectural landmark, welcoming Muslim and non-Muslim visitors. The serene setting and ocean views make it a peaceful place for reflection, prayer, and cultural appreciation.

This close proximity of diverse places of worship symbolizes Penang’s long-standing religious tolerance and cultural coexistence.
