Visit another side of George Town
From Gurney Drive, take a 5-minute Uber or Grab ride to UNESCO World Heritage Site Buffer Zone. There is so much to see and you will probably need to spend a full day or two walking the streets and visiting the different attractions. We recommend strolling the alleys and streets of Penang Little India and you will be surprised to see the creative street arts in the neighborhood. There are several museums not to be missed — Wonderfood Museum, Sun Yat Sen Museum Penang, Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi, and the Ghost Museum to spice things up a little. You must also find your way to the Clan Jetties Of Penang, featuring a traditional village of rustic houses on stilts over the water.
