From its establishment as the first British trading post in the Far East in 1786, Penang is today a bustling city with a unique blend of the East and West. This is reflected in its heritage buildings as well as in the lifestyles, food and customs of the local people.
Georgetown, named after King George III of England, is the seat of the state's administration commerce, education, social activities and entertainment.

Among the places of interest in this city are Khoo Kongsi, Kapitan Keling Mosque, Sri Mariamman Temple, Fort Cornwallis and Wat Chaiya, Mangkalaram, a Buddhist temple with one of the world's longest reclining statues of Buddha.

Trendy restaurants, sidewalk cafes, "nasi kandar" stalls, discotheques, night markets, department stores and quaint pre-war shops together with a host of other places all combine to give the city its lively and colourful character.
