🎨 “Walking around Street Art in Penang

#PenangTravel
When you arrive in Georgetown, Penang, strolling through the small alleys in the Heritage area is a chill experience that you must not miss. Because this is an open-air gallery that changes old walls to life through art that tells stories of culture, memories and the cuteness of the city's people.

🗺 Interesting highlights
1. Armenian Street – A popular starting point, find “Little Children on a Bicycle” and “Boy on a Motorbike” by Ernest Zacharevic, which allows you to pose with bicycles or motorbikes in an interactive way. 
2. Lebuh Ah Quee / Muntri Street – Find “Brother and Sister on a Swing” and “Kung Fu Girl” images that look fun and lively, making you want to pose for photos. 
3. 101 Lost Kittens Project – A collection of cute cat images in various styles that help raise awareness about stray animals and add color to the alleys in Georgetown. 
4. Steel Rod Sculptures – Another 52 3D steel sculptures scattered around the city, such as a child poking his head out the window. Satirical playfulness

🚶♂️ Plan for a relaxing walk
• Start late (8–10 am) or in the evening between 4–6 pm to avoid the sun and many tourists ()
• It is recommended to use a free street art map from the information center or download a self-guided GPX to walk in order so that you don't miss any famous pieces. 
• Recommended equipment: comfortable shoes, a drinking hat (it's very humid in a tropical city), and a mobile phone/camera with a full battery.

Walking around Street Art Penang is a fun walking trip with puzzles to solve because each work has a story behind it and cute jokes to try posing for photos. It's a walk that gives both art and IG-worthy photos. You don't have to go to a gallery to see art clearly on every block of the wall.

For those who like taking photos, the resulting files are natural and don't need to be edited much. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes, stop for a cup of iced tea at a roadside cafe, and try walking along the street art trail. I guarantee that you will experience another side of Penang, which is called... street art that you can actually walk on 😊
