Penang’s Hottest Shopping Street

Knick-knacks, glass art and exotic clothing

At the beginning of this street in Georgetown’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll see Little Children on a Bicycle, the most famous of the many murals here. This public art forms a backdrop to the street’s traditional Chinese clan temples and shophouses that have been converted into boutique hotels, speciality shops and restaurants. Every Saturday evening it hosts a lively street fair, with crafts for sale and performances.
