Balik Pulau Town

Balik Pulau, Penang, Malaysia
Tel: +60 4 261 6663 (Penang Tourist Centre)
 

Literally meaning 'behind the Island' it boasts of clove and nutmeg 'unusual crops, durian'with well known and well sought varieties, and rubber estates. These are the heritage of the Hakka community's sweat and blood plus a drinking fountain donated by Koh Seang Tat in 1882 sited in the middle of the town. The old but graceful Catholic church reminds one of the British presence where the District Land Office building, built at around 1880, housed the post and telegraph, and the customs and excise offices, agriculture departments, and the opium clerk. Upstairs was a district court house.
