 The city of George Town, Penang has the
largest cluster of pre-war buildings in South-East Asia. Penang's
(or Pulau Pinang) illustrious history of Asian migration and colonial influences has left
behind some unique architecture which is still seen in George
Town - Chinese clan houses, pre-war
shophouses, temples and colonial buildings. See photos

There's more to Penang that the buildings - the
unique food and cultural practices, which you can see in the
streets and the lifestyle of the people.
