"I eat and travel alone, stop and go..." I believe that many people have a longing for solo travel, but due to various concerns, they have not taken that step for a long time! When it comes to a solo trip, the first criterion to consider is of course good public security. Of course, if it is fun and saves money, it will be a big bonus~ And Penang just happens to meet all the standards! These 4 reasons will definitely make you bravely break the first time and go to this beautiful treasure island alone! You don't need to prepare too much when you go to Penang, because this is a place where you can enjoy yourself and relax your tired body and mind. If you lack a solo trip in your life, just start from Penang!

High safety index and no communication barriers

Traveling alone is nothing more than the need to consider safety issues, especially girls. And Penang is just a good place with superior security, the crime rate is extremely low, and the locals are very simple and friendly, which will definitely make you feel that the journey is full of humanity! Residents here are also proficient in various languages, Chinese, English and even dialects (Hokkien, Cantonese, Chaozhou dialect) can communicate without barriers, so the friends who come here don’t need to worry about language barriers at all!

Saving money and playing comfortably and having fun is the most important thing! If you travel alone, you need to pay for the round-trip air ticket plus all expenses such as food, accommodation and transportation on the road, so you usually choose to travel on a budget. The price level in Penang is relatively low~ There are many youth hostels with good reputations here, and some popular attractions are free to enter, which is very Buddhist! In terms of transportation, there is the bus Rapid Penang (the ticket is quite cheap!), and there is also a free bus CAT for tourists. Of course I have to mention - the price of local food is also quite pleasing, so open your belly to eat!

As a gourmet treasure island covered by gourmet food, Penang has all kinds of fairy-level flavors waiting for you to search for it. Speaking of the must-eat local delicacies here, the short list includes: Char Kway Teow (recommended: Siam Road Char Kway Teow), Assam Laksa (recommended: Pulau Kim Laksa, Wan Dao Tou Laksa), Fried Kway Teow Rui Cendol (recommendation: betel nut law famous Teochew cendol), Hokkien Prawn Noodles (recommendation: authentic Qiaotou Hokkien Mee, Santiao Road 888 Hokkien Mee), Indian pancake Roti Canai (recommendation: Transfer Road Penang) and more!

Rich historical sites, multiculturalism

Penang is an ancient city full of history, with rich and diverse traditions, buildings, arts and culture, etc., very colorful! Here not only has the unique feelings of oriental culture (you can see old Nanyang-style shophouses, old Chinese corridors, old-style tea and dining rooms), but also has a strong British flavor in the old town of George Town. All are colonial heritage landmarks. It is a museum in itself, just waiting for you to feel it quietly and savor it carefully.
