Penang's Komtar is a treasure trove full of surprises!
Many people visit Penang may not be aware of this place, where you can enjoy the urban scenery and charming coastline of Penang. It's a must-visit spot when traveling to Penang! Here lies the Rainbow Skywalk, located at the tallest building in Penang, the Komtar Complex. The Komtar Complex itself has undergone several changes. It houses the largest shopping mall in Penang and was once a government office building. It was only after the complex added three more floors to the original 65, reaching 68 floors, and opened an outdoor observation deck with a glass floor at the top, known as the Rainbow Skywalk we see today, that it gradually came back into the public eye.
👉 Travel Tips: The Komtar Complex has 68 floors, and the sightseeing elevator can take you directly to the 65th floor, where there is an indoor observation deck with a section of glass flooring that allows you to see the ground below the 65 floors, which is quite thrilling. There are also outdoor activities like skywalking that challenge your adrenaline. From the 65th floor, you can take an elevator to the 68th floor, where there is an outdoor skywalk observation deck without walls, offering a more expansive view. Here, you can take in the whole of Penang at a glance. The all-glass flooring also gives a feeling of being closer to nature.
There is also a scenic restaurant on the 68th floor where you can enjoy afternoon tea or dinner. Choose a window seat for a scenic view, and enjoy delicious food while admiring the unbeatable view, which is extremely pleasant.
👉 Ticket Information: Adults 64 Malaysian Ringgit, Children (90cm - 12 years old) and seniors over 60 years old 45 Malaysian Ringgit

JCO Komtar
I love JCO not recently . I am a big fan of this brand because of the taste . I tried JCO at Queensbay Mall before, so that I know the quality of donut of JCO. I have voucher from FoodPanda 6 ringgit discount , that's why I ordered 2 donuts: Green Tease and Tira Miss U just yesterday evening (14-Sep-2022). I don't know some one Miss me or not but the name is so interesting . The location is in the heart of Georgetown, so easy to come, near Starbucks , near the entrance gate, too . This shop is designed so good , too, a bit vintage and a bit modern. Staff was so friendly. She packed the box carefully and gave to me with the cute face . The taste of donut was so delicious. I recommend this brand if you want to eat cake/donut .

+ I just came to this KFC yesterday evening (14-Sep-2022) . Now I have to order by the machine, not at the counter . There are 2 machines there but 1 is temporary not in service, hence I have to wait in the queue . I also cannot proceed payment by app . I tried to use GrabPay or Touch & Go but no luck. Thus I chose payment by cash . It's ok for me because I bring cash. The price was cheap , too but the taste was not too good , just average . General, I prefer other shops than KFC .

KOMTAR Tower, (mostly referred as KOMTAR), in the city of George Town in Penang, Malaysia, is the state's tallest skyscraper and the eleventh-tallest building in Malaysia. KOMTAR is a Malay acronym for Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak (Tun Abdul Razak Complex), named after the second Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Abdul Razak.
Construction of the complex started in 1974, and was completed in 1988. When the skyscraper topped out in 1985, it was originally completed with 65 floors and a height of 232 metres (761 ft). At the time of its completion, the KOMTAR Tower was the third-tallest building in Asia (after Sunshine 60 in Tokyo and One Raffles Place in Singapore). The building maintained its status as the country's tallest skyscraper for another two years before surpassed by the 244 m (801 ft) Menara Maybank in Kuala Lumpur in 1987. As of October 2021, KOMTAR Tower's status as Penang's tallest skyscraper remains unchallenged.

🌃 Nighttime Magic with Nikon in Penang 📸
Just had an amazing time exploring Penang with my Nikon Zf! 🌍 The Nikkor Z 28-400mm lens was a game-changer, even with an f/8 aperture. Night shots? No problem! The VR helped reduce the shutter speed, making my night photography a breeze. 🌙
Got some stunning shots at 400mm, 200mm, 105mm, 50mm, and 28mm. My success rate? Over 50%! 🎯 The views from Penang Hill and Komtar were simply breathtaking. 🏞️
Penang, you've stolen my heart! 💖 Can't wait to share more of my adventures with you all. Stay tuned! 📍Penang, Malaysia

I visited Chucky Cat Cafe in Johor Bahru with my kids, and we had a purrfect time! The cafe was clean and spacious, with plenty of toys and scratching posts for the adorable felines. The kids were thrilled to play and snuggle with the friendly cats, and I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, offering refreshments and ensuring our comfort. We left with big smiles and happy memories. If you're looking for a fun and family-friendly activity in JB, Chucky Cat Cafe is a must-visit - your kids (and you!) will love it!

Hi My friends
I embarked on a journey through Berapit, a collection of charming taman nestled amidst the winding roads of Penang. Starting from Bukit Mertajam, my expedition led me towards Berapit Market Hill, driven by anticipation to uncover hidden gems. Trekking from Taman Pearl, I embraced the natural beauty and cultural richness along the trail. Ascending Bukit Mertajam hill, I found serenity in the verdant surroundings, a welcome escape from urban life.
At the summit, Chanxiu Jingshe, a majestic Thai Buddhist monastery with a striking pagoda, greeted me. From this vantage point, I marveled at panoramic views of Bukit Mertajam and Penang Island, with landmarks like KOMTAR and George Town adorning the horizon. Exploring the temple grounds, I found solace in the tranquil terrace adorned with ornate statues, offering moments of reflection amidst nature's splendor. Despite the ascent's challenges, the landscape's beauty and spiritual solace made the journey profoundly rewarding. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow, I reflected on the privilege of witnessing such majesty. Each step retracing my path carried cherished memories of Berapit—a testament to its tranquility, serenity, and cultural significance.

Guangda Building is a very well-known landmark in Penang. It is 65 stories high and the largest shopping mall in Penang is downstairs, but there are not many people shopping here. Every bus passes through here, the station is called Komtar, and tourists go to various scenic spots in Penang, almost all from here.
