Penang introduction(槟城介绍)
Penang, known as “Pearl of the Orient” to many people, is one of the famous islands in South-East Asia. It is renowned for its culture, food and heritage.
However, this is not all that she has to offer. Minutes away from the busy city center lies another attraction of Penang, her natural beauty. This turtle shaped island offers miles of idyllic beaches with swaying palm trees, and soothing hill for those who seek refuge from the tropical heat.
The capital of Penang, George Town was named after King George III of England. George Town was awarded city status by the royal charter on January 1st 1957. Located in the heart of the city is one of South East Asia’s largest collections of Pre-war buildings. In order to preserve the heritage of Penang, modern structures are built surrounding these pre-war buildings. Some of these structures are built more than 100 years ago. Lots of effort and money has been invested by the state government and private investors to preserve the beauty of these structures. As a reward for the effort, Penang was formally inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 7th July 2008.
Take a stroll down the heritage trail to visit the Muslim mosque, Chinese temple, Indian temple and Christian church. One will be surprised that these buildings are just 5 minutes walk from each other. The closeness of the people from different ethnic group is best reflected by their respect for each other’s culture, festival and tradition.
Besides its beauty and history, one should never miss the delicious hawker foods that are offered around the clock during their stay. Penang offers you great food from prestigious restaurants to hawkers’ carts by the road side.
The State of Penang or Negeri Pulau Pinang in Malay is made up of Penang Island and Province Wellesley which is on the peninsula. In the year 1985, one of South East Asia’s longest bridge was build across the channel to connect the island with the peninsula. The bridge has great impact on the citizens and the development of the island. The bridge eases the transportation of raw materials and finished products to and from the factories located in the industrial free trade zone of Penang.
The development of Penang has also turned Penang into a shopping paradise. You will be able to find things like handicraft, jewellery, clothes and many more at attractive prices.
Visit Penang and discover all the great things that Penang has.
槟城(Penang),一向有东方之珠的称号,是东方城市中最如画,最浪漫的城市之一。它位于马来西亚道西北的海岸边。槟城这名字,乃取自当年遍布的该岛上的槟榔树而来的。槟城于1786年时被英国殖民政府开发为远东最早的商业中心,今日的槟城,已经是一个反映东西方独特情怀的熙熙攘攘之大都会了。
槟城州是由槟城岛和半岛威省共同组成。两岛是由全长 13.5 公里的槟城大桥所连接在一起,这座桥也是亚洲最长的桥梁之一。位于槟城岛的乔治市是该州的首府,这是一座富有历史传统的城市,如今它已经被规划及发展成现代化的都市了。槟城的某些地区还保有过去非常古老及典雅的足迹,例如:狭窄的街道、三轮车和工人辛勤搬运货物等景象,这些似乎是属于被遗忘的时代之景象。槟城亦是新、旧货品的购物天堂,游客可在此购得价廉物美的货物。举凡各类照相机、服装、峇迪布料、纪念品、古文物及玩具饰品等,皆可以很低廉的价格 买到。槟城岛也以其美食闻名于本区域,事物种类从娘惹美食到小档口的油饭、炒倮条(河粉)及槟城叻沙等,其食物风味和其他州属有很大的差别。
高恩沃利斯要塞景点介绍
简介:位于乔治城的海峡之上,1786年莱特上尉第—次来到马来西亚、并开始城市建设的地方据说就是这里。城堡最初是用木头建成的,1805—1810年使用囚犯作劳动力建成石结构城堡。现在要塞几成废墟,惟有几门旧炮面海而立。其中最有名的一门叫斯利兰白炮,是17世纪荷兰造的。这门炮原属于荷兰保护下的柔佛的苏丹,后来为海盗所掠,最后又被英国夺回。当地人相信这门大炮有送子之功用,因此不时可以看到当地妇女将鲜花供奉在炮身或大炮周围。 开放时间:9:00-19:00。
槟城极乐寺景点介绍
简介:槟城极乐寺(Kek Lok Si Temple)位于槟城州,槟岛的亚依淡(Air Itam),是马来西亚的重要佛教寺庙之一。极乐寺建于1893年,寺庙依山而建,占地12公顷。 极乐寺的建设由当时任椰脚街广福宫的主持妙莲法师所启发。妙莲法师原本来自福建涌泉寺,他曾于1885年到槟城州筹募基金修建福州龟山法堂。2年后,出任椰脚街广福宫的主持。槟城极乐寺最先建立的是大士殿,5年后相继增建天王殿、大雄殿、藏经阁、东西客堂及放生池等。1930年, 极乐寺内楼高7层的万佛塔正式建成。此塔的底部,中部和顶部分别采纳了中国,泰国和缅甸寺庙的设计,综合了3国寺庙的建筑风格。2002年, 一座30.2公尺高的观音铜像建成。 槟城极乐寺放生池附近的山壁上刻有清末民初名士之墨迹。如果详细看这些题咏,可以发觉早期从中国南来的文人和同盟会革命志士所题的字,这些作品包括康有为 所题的‘勿忘故国’四字。可惜一些题咏已因雨水侵蚀而没法辨认。极乐寺内的“ 大雄宝殿”匾额是清朝光绪皇帝御赐和题字。另一匾额“海天佛地”是慈禧太后题写。
槟城唐人街景点介绍
简介:乔治市的唐人街,是槟城最早开发的地方,这里充满着喧闹连天的活动,特别是在华人节庆的时候,更是热闹非凡。这里有许多经营传统生意的商店。唐人街也设有华人庙宇、兴都庙及回教堂。在此处闲逛、参观甚至乘搭三轮车环游一番,肯定是乐趣无穷的。
唐人街的特色是它永远有大大小小的活动在进行着,从庙宇的庆典活动到早市农业市场,以及晚上的夜市商场等等。槟城街及CAMPBELL街拥有冷气设备的商 业及购物中心。旧式的华人传统商店则多设在CHULIA街道上。至于手工艺品及古董文物商店则可在FARQUHAR街找到。
在唐人街上让人感受到19世纪移民来此的华人生活状况,这里有很多祠堂、庙宇和商店,充满中国传统色彩,让你像回到昔日的中国。
槟榔山景点介绍
天气好的时候,可以乘槟榔屿上有名的缆车上山一游。山顶约海拔692米,气候清凉宜人。不光槟城历 历在目,还可了望远处绿色的马来半岛。一望无际的蔚蓝的大海与郁郁葱葱的马来半岛在色彩上极为谐调,美不胜收,不到这儿你是体会不到“东洋珍珠”的真正韵 味的。入夜后槟城以及航船上的灯火如宝石一样璀璨,令人乐而忘返。山上Bellevue Penang Hill Hotel中有餐厅,当游客饱览槟榔山秀丽的风光后,可以在此休息从黑水镇乘8路市内公共汽车到缆车上车处,走着过去需20分钟。缆车在6:30到9:30之间每15——30分钟发一班,到山顶约需30分钟,途中可换车。星期三和星期六,运行时间延长至零点,星期天人很多,要排队。
