Summary:
This was a fantastic experience for me, because I was able to see most of the attractions in Penang (George Town) in my wish list. My tour guide was Jeffery See, who is very friendly and knowledgeable.
First we visited the Kek Lok Si Temple Complex, which is a few kilometers away from George Town. There are so many temples in this complex, that a minimum of 2 hours are necessary.
The rest of the tour was a walking tour in the historical centre of George Town. We visited a few mosques, including the Aceh Street Mosque, and the fabulous Kapitan Keling Mosque. We also went to several old Chinese temples, all of which are richly decorated: the Sin Fah Thong Temple, the Khoo Kongsi Temple, the Choo Chay Keong Temple, the Temple of the Goddess of Mercy, and the Han Jiang Ancestral Temple.
We also saw some picturesque street art in Armenia street, the Peh Kong Temple. and the Lim Jetty.
