GEORGE TOWN: The streets of George Town came alive early in the morning as crowds gathered for a heritage walk that traced Penang’s rich and storied past through its shophouses, religious sites, and cultural landmarks.
At least 2,000 people, comprising locals, history buffs, foreigners, and members of community groups, turned up at Beach Street yesterday to take part in the George Town Heritage Walk, which was held to commemorate the 17th anniversary of the city’s designation as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
