Penang Culture

With a population of one million, Penang is a melting pot of culture. Apart from the three main racial communities of Malaysia - Malay, Chinese and Indian - there are Arabs and Eurasians, the latter being a result of inter-racial marriages. As it is, one is exposed to a variety of cultural experiences which give the island an added touch of colour.

Night Life

At the first sign of dusk, the city reveals another facade of its exciting life. As the night sets in and the city lights come on, the evening pulsates with promise. For those who have brought their dancing shoes, there are numerous night spots throughout the city to dance away the night. Most hotels have discotheques and/or live bands to liven up the evening for their guest. On occasion, concerts and cultural shows are staged at various public places in the city. Bars and pubs are open till late in the night.
