Trishaw a firm favourite in the old part of George Town

Iconic draw: Tourists walking past a row of trishaws lining the Swenttenham Pier entrance as the ‘Mein Schiff I’ berths for the day in the background.

GEORGE TOWN: The modernity of planes and cars has not rendered obsolete that old port city feel of Penang.

People still love to visit by ship and when they get here, they still want to use the trishaws, an icon of the island.
