6 days in Penang Island Itinerary

Air Itam, a town in Penang just outside of George Town, is renowned for its impressive Buddhist temples and shrines.

Explore hidden gems such as Reclining Buddha Wat Chaiyamangalaram and The Habitat Penang Hill. Escape the urban bustle at East Wind Watersports and Chin Farm Waterfall. There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of Kek Lok Si Temple, see the interesting displays at Asia Camera Museum, take an in-depth tour of Pinang Peranakan Mansion, and explore the different monuments and memorials at Old Protestant Cemetery.
