Just two kilometres off the mainland of Malaysia lies the colourful and scenic island of Penang, often referred to as the 'Pearl of the Orient'. Penang offers miles of golden sandy beaches, the most famous of which is Batu Ferringhi on the northern coastline, where the majority of hotel development has taken place. Away from the beaches there is a wealth of multi-cultural heritage to be explored. In 1786 Penang was established as the first British trading post in the Far East and quickly attracted people from all over Asia. Modern Penang retains these influences, especially in the form of the many remaining colonial era buildings and in the capital Georgetown, a real China Town with a far more obvious Chinese flavour than Hong Kong or Singapore.
