Our tour leader, William, was very friendly. He took us to Balik Pulau to enjoy the farmland and fishing village scenery, taste local delicacies and seasonal durian, and assisted us in taking photos and framing at any time. I highly recommend that you must come.

I was fortunate to meet Mr. Huang, a local living dictionary, who has been studying and inheriting Penang's history and culture for more than 20 years. He learned about the development and rule during the British colonial period, the love and hatred between Chinese immigrants in Fujian (Zhangzhou-Haishan Society, Quanzhou-Xingshi Bridge area) and Guangdong (Guangzhou-Yee Hing Society, Chaozhou), how they could donate money to build temples because of their beliefs, and fight over territory. He also learned about the origins of Penang's various neighborhoods, and the public call for submissions for iron paintings after obtaining the intangible cultural heritage in 2008. In 2012, a Lithuanian painter left a mural by accident, which opened up the art of murals, and came back to add color 12 years later. These are just a small part of the story. If you like to travel in depth, it is recommended to prepare a pair of good shoes, do a good job of sun protection, and follow Mr. Huang's story journey to discover the food and surprises behind every corner.

Just use the QR code then direct into The Habitat, no need to change tickets at the counter. The Habitat is a UNESCO-certified biosphere reserve that preserves the island's ancient rainforest ecosystem. It offers a peaceful escape from the city, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature. One of the highlights is the Canopy Walk and Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk, where you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the forest, and on clear days, even catch a glimpse of the ocean in the distance. At the end of the trail, a free shuttle service conveniently brings visitors back to the funicular station, making the journey smooth and comfortable.

The package includes tickets to major attractions in Penang. It is recommended to buy more than four attractions for a better discount. Note that several cost-effective attractions are far from Georgetown, but they are still worth visiting! For example, the butterfly garden, fruit farm and water activities can be arranged on the same day, but it is not recommended to go on weekends because there will be traffic jams.
