Pulau Pinang . 槟城 . Penang . பினாங்கு
This year, we're inviting you to join us for a weekend of dance and adventure as we explore George Town, the fascinating historical capital of Penang. Founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light, George Town has evolved through the centuries, from a British trading port to a modern day tourism hot spot, to become the quintessential representation of East meets West.
