A Festive Alley Beside Beach Street Fire Station

This narrow, mural-lined alley running beside the old Beach Street Fire Station in George Town is decorated with festive Chinese lanterns along with Hari Raya motifs such as golden crescents and stars, and ketupat motifs which give it a very local festive feel. It is also a show of transition between two festive holidays celebrated commonly in Penang.

Victoria Street: Boon San Tong Khoo Kongsi

Located along Victoria Street and built in 1878, Boon San Tong Khoo Kongsi is an ancestral clan temple for the Khoo clan people in Penang. It is one of the two Khoo clan temples in Penang and also the smaller and less popular one compared to the main Khoo Kongsi in Cannon Street, George Town.

Penang Art Lane

Art Lane is an art gallery that features both international and local works within an old heritage pre-war shophouse at Beach Street, George Town. The art space is founded by one of the co-owners of China House, which is also located nearby. The walls within the large shophouse serve as the canvas for artists to exhibit their creativity and express their thoughts in a public space. One can enter the Art Lane from two entrances, one at Beach Street and another at Victoria Street.
