I am a Penangite and really I can't even single out what's good for sightseeing here lol. Anyway, for cinema, definitely the one at Gurney Plaza is better as the one in Queensbay doesn't support 3D movies.

As for sightseeing, I personally think only the beaches at Batu Feringghi is worth your time. The Snake Temple doesn't even have much snakes anymore but you can go Kek Lok Si for for the experience as the new shrine for the Guanyin statue is quite remarkable.

Lol thanks for your reply, aldy made a booking for chulia heritage:D. One more ques for gurney drive, any parking there at night as I'm planning to go there for dinner+supper

There should be plenty of road side parking around gurney drive. Else you can park inside the shopping complex, gurney paragon/gurney plaza.

hi guys
i am planning to go to penang end of this month and this is my first time so if anyone can give me some information

i've loked up one hotel near ferringgi beach EQ ferringgi hotel and its seams reasonabally priced
can anyone tell me if they've been there ?
its a walk to the beach and some mall and some other stuff
i want to do some water sports like para sailing and stuff
will they be available there?
what else can i do there near by ?
thanks

Batu Ferringgi area isn't known for malls, i think the nearest proper mall would be Straits Quay/Island Plaza.
There's a night market in Batu Ferringgi town, just infront of Hard Rock hotel.
As for beaches, you can have those beach side activities you mention, just make sure you ask everything properly in order not to be con by the beach boys who operate the activities.

You can visit the butterfly farm, Penang's National Park & ESCAPE Penang if you feel more adventurous.
