Hidden Gems of George Town

George Town's UNESCO heritage extends beyond its famous street art into the intricate architecture of its clan houses and colonial remnants. This collection features 18th-century British fortifications at Fort Cornwallis, the final resting place of city founder Francis Light at the Old Protestant Cemetery, and the gold-leaf carvings of the Han Jiang Ancestral Temple. These sites represent the convergence of Teochew, Hokkien, and British influences that shaped the city's unique cultural landscape.
