Penang HoneymoonConsider a honeymoon or romantic getaway on Penang and experience one of South-East Asia's most popular islands. Virtually unchanged from its heyday as a major British trading post, Penang is the site of the first British settlement on the Malay Peninsula. Things to do and seePenang offers an alluring mix of luxury beachside resorts, Buddhist temples, narrow alleyways crowded with authentic Chinese neighbourhoods, lively street markets and mouth-watering cuisine. Sunbathe, swim or watch a sunset from the beach at Batu Feringghi; explore by cycle or trishaw Georgetown’s fascinating collection of ornate old Chinese merchant houses; ride the funicular train to the cooler climate of Penang Hill; wander crumbling Fort Cornwallis, the island's oldest building; then unwind with a Sundowner cocktail at the famous E&O hotel before dining on a choice of Malay and Chinese cuisine downtown. Out of town, the island is easy to explore by hire car, motorcycle or bicycle; the mountainous interior is accessible by foot on a choice of 30 hiking trails. AccommodationPenang offers a wide range of hotel and resort accommodation to suit all budgets. | |||||||||||
