Wandering Georgetown, Penang is like flipping through the pages of a living storybook—where every street corner holds a mural, a memory, or a memory worth savouring. In January, as the city gears up for Chinese New Year, its colonial streets come alive with colour, culture, and creativity. From iconic artworks to hidden alleyway surprises, and from red lanterns strung across ancient temples to the quiet discovery of a fading Batik tradition, this is a place made for slow, soulful exploration. Whether you’re travelling solo or with a few like-minded wanderers, Georgetown invites you to get a little lost—and fall a little in love along the way.
