Sparkling splendour: Tourists cruising along the Kerian River in Nibong Tebal to watch the flickering fireflies.

IT IS Visit Penang Year 2015! However, more often than not, only attractions on Penang island come to mind when the state is mentioned as a tourist destination.

While it is true that tourist spots on the 293sq km island are more well known — including the George Town heritage enclave, beautiful beaches in Batu Ferringhi and serene Penang Hill — there are ample attractions on mainland Penang which covers 753sq km.
