GEORGE TOWN: One of the most popular spots for evening photography in Penang, the Esplanade, is now all decked up for Christmas.

Penang tourism and creative economy committee chairman Yeoh Soon Hin lit up the Christmas tree with a wave of a “magic wand” at Speaker’s Square, adding another radiant sculpture to the rows of glowing figures and statues that ring the field.
