Penang is equivalent to several cities in China.

Penang is equivalent to the third-and fourth-tier cities in China.

Except Kuala Lumpur, the most modern capital, other Malaysian cities are very similar to the third-and fourth-tier cities in China, and Penang, as the third largest city, is no exception.

Penang is a very special entity. After Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, it is an important port and the third largest city in Malaysia. Tourism in this city is relatively developed. Because the street graffiti plastic arts full of literary flavor are familiar to most people, it is known as the "Oriental Garden" and is one of the famous tourist attractions in Malaysia.

After arriving in Penang, artistic graffiti is definitely the main area to visit. In the streets and alleys of Georgetown, all kinds of murals are scattered like masts, with different themes and styles. Most of them were made by Bulgarian young artist Fan Er on Georgetown Festival Day, and some of them were later made by other artists.

Penang tourist attractions:
