Sunday 8/9/24
We took a Grab to Chulia Street which was about 25 minutes ride at RM15 (or S$5) and reached at 4.05pm. We wanted to explore the different streets in George Town.
It turned out there was nothing much to see at Chulia Street besides food and drinks. So we wandered around, soaking in the culture and history of George Town.
We stumbled upon the Central Fire Station 1908, a beautifully well preserved structure dating back to 1908, the year it was first constructed.
George Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the streets overflow with rich history and culture, transporting us back 40 or 50 years ago where the past meets the present.
Most of the attractions in George Town are free to explore except for entering museums. The side of the fire station is an interesting street lined with Malaysia flags hanging overhead, creating a festive atmosphere as we walked by.
The street was enhanced by the mural art on the walls, showcasing George Town's street art scene. These works, created by both local and international artists, are scattered throughout the town, drawing tourists from around the globe to witness the city's heritage.
10 minutes walk away was Armenian Street which was a more lively walking street lined with array of cafes, local craft shops and souvenirs, and popular street arts where people queued to take photos.
I got my mum a small cloth bag here at RM10 (or S$3.33) as she loves carrying these small bags when heading out to market or gathering.
I went over to this cute shop selling all kinds of souvenirs, I picked up a few items for my friends and myself, something to remember from this trip.
