And among those places, Jalan Kek Chuan in Penang has taken the 17th spot in the ’40 of the Most Beautiful Streets in the World That Will Stop You in Your Tracks’ list by House Beautiful.

“We’ve rounded up the most beautiful streets in the world, scattered across the continents, for you to bookmark before your next adventure”, they wrote.

“George Town, the capital of the Malaysian island, Penang, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with lively street art and even more famed street food. If it’s architectural eye candy you’re after, head to Jalan Kek Chuan to peruse the ornately detailed shops that blend Eastern and Western designs”, House Beautiful added.

Taking the top spot is Symi Harbour, Greece with Acorn Street, United States, following behind at number 2.

 

It is truly amazing to see how our local spots are getting well-deserved attention internationally.
