Last week went to Penang for 3 days.
1. Stay:
G Hotel. Location quite good. Just besides Paragon and Gurney Plaza. Food center is just down the road. Traders Hotel I feel should be good also.
2. See
Kek Lok Si for the Giant Guanyin statue. Penang Hill for the birds eye view of Georgetown. Now also have a food center on top. Wat Chayamangkalaram for the sleeping Buddha.
3. Eat
Local food in food center is the way to go.
4.Transport
Cab does not run meter and the price is pretty standard. No way to bargain. But they will try to ask u to use their service like 3 hours for RM$100 which I feel no point unless the place you go is really out of town. Cos I feel 3 hours is a bit rush. If you have more people, can charter a mini bus for about RM40 per hour. Public bus service is also not bad and frequency quite ok and reliable. About RM1.40.
