8. Penang Street Art
For culture lovers and lenses enthusiasts, the
Penang Arts Street located at the heart of the
city is a must place to be explored. The best
way to uncover its pleasure of contemporary
street murals is by venturing along Lebuh
Armenian and Jalan Penang by either walking
or taking a trishaw ride. Cost free and relaxing,
this place is one of the top picks in Penang.

9. Dear Azmin,
I would like you to join me visit the Penang Street Art in
this coming October.
It is located at the city centre and we can explore the
place on foot or by taking a trishaw ride. Since we enjoy
photo taking, I think the former would be more fun for us.
Besides, everyone knows how much we love street arts so
this place is a must visited place for street arts enthusiasts
like us!
Furthermore, there’ll also be an international murals
exhibition at Jalan Penang. I’m sure you’ll like it, as it is free.
It’d be lovely to have you join the trip. Hope to hear from
you soon.
Bye.
Yours truly,
Eizham
