Located
in the Strait of Malacca off West Malaysia’s northwestern coast, Penang Island
is a popular tourist destination due to its historic George Town and rich
culinary diversity. Its position along one of the world’s most traveled
shipping routes has infused Penang with a colorful array of cultures,
architecture and cuisine. No visit to Penang would be complete without a
trishaw ride or walk around the island’s capital city, George Town, to see its
British colonial architecture and historic Chinese and Indian temples.
Batu
Ferringhi is a suburb of George Town in Penang, Malaysia. Located along the
northern coast of Penang Island, it is the prime beach destination in Penang
among locals and tourists. To cater to the influx of tourists, several major
high-rise hotels have been established along the 4km stretch of beaches,
including the Hard Rock Hotel.
The
beach resorts along Batu Ferringhi also offer various water sport activities,
such as parasailing.[1] On a clear day, one could get a picturesque view of the
Andaman Sea and Mount Jerai, which is located within the neighbouring state of
Kedah. In addition, Batu Ferringhi is famous for its night market that offers a
wide variety of merchandise and street food.
