Georgetown On our visit in 2017, we were looking for the history of Penang, but sadly the State Museum was undergoing renovation, as were some of the temples, and Penang Hill was closed due to recent heavy rains and landslides. One of the most interesting places turned out to be the cemetery! Do try and get on a tour of The Blue House to see the splendour of a Chinese mansion.

Cherok Tokun Relics The relics are ancient Sanskrit inscriptions on a stone megalith, making reference to Buddha and Karma, and attributed to the ancient Kingdom of Kadaaram (5-6th centuries BC). Make a stop here if you are travelling between the Bujang Valley area to the north and Taiping to the south.
