Looking for a different getaway? Penang it is!

Not sure if any one of you have watched the TV series 單戀雙城？ an UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with temples, chill coffee shops and vintage stores. As we set foot into GeorgeTown in Penang, we are actually walking into a living piece of art - GeorgeTown is a place that does not just show you its history, but also inviting you to be a part of it, to be immersed in their vibrant streets and lively neighborhood 🚶🏿 Wander time 📸 The first thing that grabs you is the street art. Here in GeorgeTown, art tells stories 1️⃣ The famous "Little Children on a Bicycle," and "Boy on a Motorbike" 🎨 They're not just paintings; they're interactive sculptures that you can pose with and become part of the the graffiti 📸 But it's not just the famous ones, every alley holds a surprise for you - a cat peeking out from a wall or a witty commentary on life 👀 and in GeorgeTown, you can always find yourself getting lost yet enjoying every moment pushing shutter button to capture your moment with these masterpieces… 2️⃣ a little cultural appreciation These vibrant street arts are a perfect reflection of George Town's unique blend of cultures. You can be standing in front of a traditional Chinese clan house one minute, and then turn a corner and be immersed in the vibrant sights and sounds of Little India, with the aroma of spices filling the air This seamless mix of Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences is the soul of the city, and it's what makes every step an adventure 🏨 Where to Stay 🛏️ The best way to experience the local atmosphere? I’d say, is to stay in a hotel that shares that same heritage. 🌟 Eastern & Oriental Hotel E&O is more than just a place for resting, it’s an institution, with thoughtful service, a stunning infinity pool that comes with a sea view, and a feeling of stepping back in time to an era of elegance 💜 Where to Shop 🛍️ Did anyone just mention souvenirs?
