Let's reveal the five small islands around Penang one by one in a clockwise direction.
This small island in Tanjung Bangka is a mini island, located 770 meters north of Penang. The island literally means "Mouse Island", so it is named because it looks like a mouse at low tide. Although some old buildings remain, the island is practically uninhabited. Now it is a solar lighthouse. This lively lighthouse marks the northern entrance of the Penang Strait, which is Penang Port. In addition, there are graves commemorating local Muslim saints on the island for people to pursue their beliefs or pray.
Huge rocks make up most of the coastline of the island, but they are isolated from each other and stand independently, which is suitable for lonely people who find their way out in the crowd. Of course, you can also overlook the endless scenery of Tanjung here. This island is close to the coast of Penang. You can rent a kayak from Tanjung Vuya (or start from Penang Swimming Club), and you can reach the landing site above the water in about 30 minutes.
Mukou Mountain Island is a small island full of history and easily forgotten in Penang. During the British colonial period, Mukou Mountain was the place where the British government exiled and imprisoned criminals. The island is located in the southeast of Penang, across the sea from Queensbay Shopping Center. You can see it clearly on the map. It takes 10 minutes by boat from the main island.
This secluded resort is very suitable for photo punching, rainbow pier or dreamy white ladder. Ins wind is super high, which can make you the most beautiful boy in the circle of friends. In addition to taking beautiful photos, there are many activities such as jungle exploration, exploring ruins, cycling, exploring secluded places and watching sunsets. This island, which once had a mysterious history, has now become a tourist attraction. It can be said that it is colorful in its eyes, and it is colorful everywhere!
Gedong Island is a small island off the coast of Cybertron Pellet in Penang, Malaysia. There is an artillery storage fortress on the island, which was built in 190 1. It was once used by the British and Japanese to store military cannons. Its buildings still stand on the island today, overlooking the increasingly prosperous Penang.
There are clear waters and dense jungles on the beach of Gedong Island, and there are many historical sites on the island. It is said that this place used to be the site of pirates, and there are pirates' graves on the island. If you are interested, you can learn about it. It's just that this small island has not been developed on a large scale, and going to the island requires boating from the nearby Oman Island.
Oman, also known as "Peace Island", can be said to be the most famous island in this article. This small island has a history of at least more than a century. It is not only the only island inhabited by Penang, but also deeply loved by many tourists. The island is rich in cultural and historical heritage, and its specialties are even more famous.
It takes 5- 10 minutes by boat from Batu, Wei Province to reach the dock of Oman Island on the other side. After you go to the island, you must try the "three treasures" on the island, buy belacan, eat all kinds of fresh seafood, and see Bua Su Kun, which is very suitable for growing on the island, especially 1890, the oldest bread tree planted in Malaysia. In addition, there is a camping camp on the island, which allows camping enthusiasts to camp, which is also a good experience.
This island is 3.4 kilometers from the southern tip of Penang, which is the farthest from Penang. Huludao is one of the few places where you can still see the exposed rocks on the seabed, so it is famous for its rugged, uninhabited beauty and unique natural rock formations.
Huludao has romantic and beautiful beaches and the sea area is relatively safe. This is a place where tourists can swim in the sea without being afraid of jellyfish. There are endless corals and small fish in the sea. This is the only snorkeling area in Penang. Friends who want to visit can take a boat from Gertak Sanggul Beach in Bali.
There are not many tourists in the islands around Penang, and the jungle vegetation and rocky beaches are relatively well protected. You might as well set foot on Shanghai Island and enjoy the different experiences brought by the island, and promise to be included in your post-epidemic travel list!
