While the Heritage people are focussing more on the Pitt Street-Armeinan Street enclave...I think Chulia Street is more interesting...it is alive and not dead...and it is truly a living heritage....
Where else can you find Chinese and Muslim monuments & mosques string along this truly remarkable road in Penang. Formerly know as Malabar Street in honour of those Indian Muslims from the Malabar Coast in Kerala State.....the ancestral home of many UMNO politicians (not to mention our TDM)...
Starting from the Penang Road end, the road meanders its way to Weld Quay. At the start, very near Odeon, its a Madrasah...next to it a very cheap hotel......
Just walk alone the road you find many interesting shops....some old...some retrofitted....and those retrofitted shope cater for the budget backpacker tourists.....cafes......tour agents.....money changers.....
