Penang, or Pulau Pinang, as it is locally known, is one of the most beautiful and the most popular tourist destination in Malaysia. Known for its natural beauty, Penang also has a historical past. Its capital, Georgetown, certainly exemplifies this, with its elegant colonial buildings and old world charm, which exists quite harmoniously along with modern hotels, department stores and shopping complexes. Penang- the `Pearl of the Orient’ – is certainly very popular.
