Persiaran Gurney (Gurney Drive)

Persiaran Gurney, more famously known as Gurney Drive, is a popular and iconic seafront promenade in George Town. This bustling boulevard is one of Penang's most well-known destinations, famous for two main things: its street food and its upscale modern developments. By day, it is a scenic place for a walk or a jog, offering views of the sea and the northern coastline. But by night, the area comes alive, especially at the large open-air hawker center at one end of the drive.

This food court is a culinary mecca, offering a massive and diverse selection of Penang's famous hawker food all in one place. Gurney Drive is also a symbol of modern Penang, as it is lined with luxury high-rise condominiums, shopping malls like Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon, and high-end hotels. It is a place where the traditional and the modern, the simple and the sophisticated, all come together in a vibrant and dynamic mix.
