Contrary to popular belief, exploring a destination at night can be when the journey actually begins. Come nightfall, the city magically transforms as the lights come on. Hotel Jen’s Night Light map goes live nightly from 6PM-6AM and promises to show you an authentic and unexpected side to one of Asia’s hottest short break destinations. This ‘living’ map offers information slightly off the beaten track and away from the touristy hordes; and locations are continually refreshed, making it an invaluable tool even for frequent visitors.
Penang is a featured map destination and one of our top picks for a weekend break in Malaysia with its amalgam of rich cultures and fascinating history influencing everything from the varied architecture to the renowned food scene. The Night Light map uncovers insider tips from which hawker stall serves the best bowl of Hokkien noodles to where to get the cheapest beers (and fun banter) and where to experience some of the most impressive night-time views of the city.
