Located on Pesara
King Edward and towering 60 feet high, the
famous Penang Clock
Tower was presented to this state by local
millionaire Cheah Chen Eok in 1897 to
commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen
Victoria and other tourists attractions within walking
distance are the Kapitan Keling Mosque, Kuan Yin
Temple and the Penang Museum. Banking facilities
can be found nearby and the General Post Office
is also not too far away. Ferry facilities to
Butterworth, boat trips to Langkawi and Pulau
Payar and a tourist information office are
located next to this heritage clock tower. This
clock tower has now become one of the most
recognizable structure in Penang.
