HK Express will add flights to Penang, Malaysia starting November 21
Hongkongers can now travel directly to Penang without stopping over in Kuala Lumpur. Or if you’ve already visited the Malaysian capital, why not head over to Penang and explore more? Penang is a trendy destination for travellers of all ages, particularly for its food and art scenes.
Travel as locals do and enjoy the famous “Pasembur”, duck meat kway teow soup, curry noodles and more at the Seven Streets Market. Make sure to visit Instagram-worthy cafes and spots that serve speciality coffee. In UNESCO World Heritage Site George Town, there is a range of restaurants, chic bars, and quaint coffee shops. Plus, the intricate street art is also well worth your time. Admire the numerous colonial buildings that were built between 1786 and 1957.
