Penang Trishaw Station

A Penang Trishaw Station is a designated area where the city's iconic trishaw riders, or "beca uncles," gather to wait for passengers. These stations are typically found at key tourist spots throughout the George Town heritage area, such as along Penang Road, Chulia Street, or near the Esplanade. The trishaws themselves are a colorful and charming sight, often decorated with flowers and umbrellas.

These stations are the starting point for one of the most nostalgic and popular tourist experiences in Penang: a leisurely, open-air tour of the historic city. Taking a trishaw ride is a unique way to see the sights, and the experienced riders often double as informal and entertaining tour guides, sharing stories and pointing out hidden gems along the way.
