Gurney Drive is one of the more popular places in Penang to tourists coming to Penang. It’s also a popular spot to the locals as well.
One can find a wide selection of food along this stretch and a huge hawker center is at the end of the road, near the roundabout. All local favourites can be found in this stretch and it is very easy to see why Penang is also known as a food haven for food lovers.
During major festivals like the New Year countdown or Chap Goh Mei (meaning the 15th night of Chinese New Year in local Chinese dialect) celebrations, this stretch is usually decorated and well lighted to spice up the festive cheer. Located in Gurney Drive is one of the most happening shopping mall in Penang; The Gurney Plaza where you can shop for almost anything from the branded items to local goodies.
