George Town is a UNESCO World Heritage city since 2008, one of the best-preserved colonial areas in Southeast Asia. British, Chinese, Indian, and Malay architecture blend into a unique townscape unmatched anywhere in Asia. Key landmarks include the Clan Jetties (floating Chinese clan piers), Love Lane, Khoo Kongsi heritage house, and Kapitan Keling Mosque. Narrow streets are filled with charmingly dilapidated buildings, ancient temples, mosques, and churches side by side.
