Penang Heritage Sites

Penang Heritage Sites | Discovering Penang ...[click on this]
(This is to help people get to know Penang heritage sites better )

On 7th July, 2008, George Town’s rich living heritage, culture and history was officially recognised when the World Heritage Committee in Quebec City, Canada, officially inscribed the city as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Starting last year, 2010, the Penang state government have declared July 7 as Penang Heritage Day.
The influences of Asia and Europe have endowed the town with a specific multicultural heritage that is both tangible and intangible. Featuring residential and commercial buildings, George Town represents the British era from the end of the 18th century.

It is very important that we focus on preserving the heritage status of the cities so that our future generations can enjoy the fruits of our labour.
We need to maintain and build on our well-earned status so that visitors from all over the world can enjoy our cultures, food and hospitality too...

Happy Holiday Penangites !
