Attractions
Icon City: The Newest Entertainment Hub Of Penang's Lesser-Known Half

When people think of Penang, they often think of the island of Penang, the lovely, delicious and well-talked about paradise of a holiday destination. But what many people tend to forget is that Penang is a state in Malaysia that is made up of two parts: the island and the mainland. While the island bathed in the glitz and glamour of the world's attention, the mainland has somehow slipped under the radar. In fact, arguably one of the only proper tourist destination on Mainland Penang is St. Anne's Church in Bukit Mertajam, where thousands of pilgrims, local and foreign alike, travel to in the month of July for the annual feast of the Catholic Church's patron saint. But while the mainland of Penang might not have the travel appeal of its island counterpart, the mainland certainly exudes a charm of its own. It is slightly more laid back and traditional whilst still being able to show off its modernity. One highly recommended place to visit if you ever find yourself on the mainland is the newly opened Icon City in Bukit Mertajam.
