Komtar, George Town

One of the best attraction in Penang. I spent a quality time with my family. Lots of activities for kids, babies and adults. Sky walk was awesome. You need a whole day to spend here. You can get food, drinks, snacks everything inside the place.

Terrible white elephant. Practically a dead mall and creepy. Thousands of square feet of floorspace that is not used and not maintained. Truly a sad history attached to this monstrosity. 6 square city blocks (11 hectares) of housing was demolished for this monster, which is now deserted and wasted. Check out the history online if you are interested, it is truly saddening what the previous government did to the local people of George Town. With that said, please support these small businesses they are doing it really tough.

A modern and gorgeous building, but the inside is very disappointing. No clear direction guide, easily get lost. The shops are disorganized, spread everywhere with no focus, just like a local market, probably even worse than a local market that lacks variety. The science showing part is ok. The viewing towner is at 65F, so hard to find it the ticket booth; and hard to find elevator; and you have to wait after the elevator in a small dark space before showing the short tower video. The sight seeing is great. All need be better organized. Just cannot believe this is one of the city icon.

Surprisingly for someone who had never stepped foot into the tower (i.e. me), it had more attractions for kids than I first perceived. Tickets to the attractions are quite pricey individually, but it's more worth it to take a bundle of attractions together. Was able to take a few breathtaking pics from the top of the tower, especially a suitable angle for panoramic phototaking of the Penang island.

The highest building on the island. Landmark for Penang. It is a must visit place and also iconic for a photo moment from anywhere in the city. As long as you get the view. Take the nice shot and make it memorable.
