Hari Raya 2017 is just around the corner and it is time to plan for a short getaway from the stressful life as a university student during this festive season to reset your mind. Instead of planning a trip to overseas, having a short trip within Malaysia can be wonderful idea as well. Over the years, Penang island has become one of the hotspots in Malaysia that has attracted tons of tourists all around the globe. Penang island, also known as Pearl of the Orient is a small island that located in the north-western coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
As many of you may know, Penang is famous for its street arts. The moment you walk around Georgetown, you will come across with a variety of fascinating and funny graffiti from one wall to another. This is all thanks to the hard work of a Lithuanian artist named Ernest Zacharevic for leaving his mark with beautiful wall painting of children all across historical Georgetown. The art works are funny, fascinating, and very much open to everyone’s interpretations.
Other than that, Escape Adventureplay Penang in Teluk Bahang is a cool alternative to the beach and has turned into a firm favourite with outdoor adventure seekers on the island. Apart from being an outdoor, eco-conscious theme park specialising in zip-lining, the park also hosts other exciting jungle activities for individuals of all ages. The park started out in 2012 with standout attractions such as a free fall from a 20-metre-high jump platform, an inner tube slide and tree rope swing.
Lastly, Penang Interactive Museum is also one of the tourist attraction there. It offers the guests a fun, thrilling way to look at artwork with displays that have interesting 3D imagery feature. For instance, a portrait of the Penang Snake Temple, with a large 3D snake sliding out from the framework.
