GEORGE TOWN: The RM12.9mil Esplanade upgrade, which took six years to complete, is set to wow locals and foreigners alike with its sweeping vista of the Penang seafront.

Stretching 460m from the Medan Renong food court to the Royal Malaysian Naval Base, wider walkways now welcome more visitors while its terraced seawall near the Cenotaph Memorial allows people to get closer to the sea overlooking the northern coast.
