Being crafty traders, they introduced aspects of their lifestyle to the local community and made a lasting impression on the city of Penang. Enjoy the old architecture, street murals, and orthodox temples characteristic of the area. You can get a taste of Armenian culture in the many shops and restaurants, which fit in well with the quaint style of the rest of the street.

Many shops and stalls. Good place to spend the night. lots of food stalls. The buildings are historical. Watch out for bicycles. Many people rent them and use the street to riding the bike.
