Batu Maung is a small
fishing village at the south-eastern tip of the island,
which owes its fame to the beach-front shrine dedicated
to Admiral Cheng Ho, the famous Chinese admiral who
featured prominently in the history of the Malacca
Sultanate. The huge footprint in the vicinity of the
shrine is said to be that of the Admiral's but nowadays
this place of interest in Penang has become a popular place to eat fresh seafood with
the many seafood restaurants available here.
