Chinatown

Lebuh Campbell, Penang, Malaysia
Tel: +60 4 261 6663 (Penang Tourist Centre)
 

Penang's Chinatown has its heart at Lebuh Campbell and marked out by Jalan Penang, Jalan Magazine and the coast fronts. Pre-war shop houses are what it is all about, most of which are around one century old and face the unsympathetic repeal of rent control. The weight of a heritage, an entrenched way of life--business and living quarters in the same premises--lends a uniqueness of character that is an irreplaceable anchor of the island. The degree of authenticity is such that the existing street architecture needed no makeup for its part in a movie set in 19th century Siam.
