An Islander's Perspective of Penang
An old man cycling past a large mural of a ship at an alley in the old town of Butterworth. The Butterworth’s old town area on the mainland side of Penang used to be a bustling trading port that had its origin from a small fishing village.
The ever popular wall mural which depicts two kids riding a bicycle at Armenian Street, was painted by Ernest Zacharevic. For its location, please refer to the map HERE.
Now, cycling is the most common past-time activity of Penangites as well as a favorite mode of transportation for foreigners to explore the heritage town.
