Armenian Street Penang

Anyone who visits Penang must surely go to the UNESCO heritage enclave around Armenian Street. It is the place where the famous wall painting of two siblings riding on a bicycle is located. This is the painting that put George Town on the map. Now that Chinese New Year is just around the corner, the street was recently being decorated with lots of Chinese lanterns and the was officially opened at the Armenian Park.






Traditional Chinese Opera performance can still be seen in Penang during major festivals.
