    The birthplace of Malaysia's legendary entertainer
    This is the birthplace for Malaysian multitalented singer, actor, director and film maker, the late Tan Sri P. Ramlee. Here, visitors will have the chance to enter the traditional Malay house where P. Ramlee was born and learn more about his family's history and background. There is also another gallery housed in a more modern-looking building that showcases some of his personal collections and photos. This attraction is open everyday with the exception of Mondays and it is completely free of admission.

    Madu
    Had a short stop at Bee Gallery Penang. Many wallpapers, different kinds of honey or Madu in Malay language. Good information from the seller with a chance to taste any and buy.

    The pilgrims' journey starts here
    Amazing journey, it was.

    Penang was the focal point for pilgrim ships from Indonesia and Singapore back in the mid-1880s. At Penang, the pilgrims had to stay for months to wait for their ships to Mecca. And it took another two months to reach the holy land! This historical journey is well documented at Penang Hajj Gallery, Lebuh Acheh. It is a small gallery but educational; with informative leaflets and well written pilgrimage history. You can find old stuff belongs to the pilgrims such as luggage, boxes, hajj documentations, ihram clothing and a lot more. If you are a researcher, or you are interested about Islam or Hajj pilgrimage, this is a place for you to visit. Just a few meters away from the gallery, there is Lebuh Aceh mosque, the place where pilgrims congregated before departing to Mecca. Visit both places for better understanding about Penang as a pilgrims’ hub more than 100 years ago. Free entry.

    For bicycle enthusiasts
    Bicycle enthusiasts will marvel at the variety of bicycles available. There's some really early bicycles like the Penny Farthing on display. However it is only one room worth of exhibits and the displays are not exactly displayed in an exciting manner. Non-bicycle enthusiasts may not consider this visit essential.
