Where is Gurney Drive? It is the road which next to kelawai Road. You can drop by if you are on the way to the famous Batu Feringhi Beach. Here, you can see the modernisation of Penang if you just visited to Georgetown, which have a lot of well preserve Heritage Houses and Temples.
Now... what you can do at Gurney Drive?
First, if you come to Penang, must enjoy the local hawker food. You can get all the variety of local food at Gurney hawker centre! It is a good place for those who are not familiar with Penang. The food may be not the best in Penang, but at least you can have the chance to taste it!

Besides Chinese Stalls, there also have Malay's hawkers stalls that serve Halal food.
If you prefer fast food or restaurant, you can go to Sunrise Tower, that just next to the Hawker centre. You can find Mcdonald, Pizza Hut and Korean Restaurant.
Sunrise Tower
You also can go to Gurney Plaza (sea facing shopping mall), near to Gurney Hawker centre, about 1 minute walk. There have restaurants, food court and lots of fast food restaurants. But, I suggest you to have your meal at the Gurney hawker centre, because penang is well known for its local hawker food!
Gurney place at Gurney plaza. Its a good place to have tea or hang out with friends.
After having good food at hawker centre, you can enjoy a walk at Gurney walk, which opposite the hawker centre. It is the best place for you to bring along your family to enjoy the sea view and the super condominium along Gurney Drive.
In the evening, if the wheather and your luck is good, you will have chance to see the beautiful sunset. You also will find people are jogging along the seaside or sitting along the bench chit chatting.
The latest hotel at Gurney Drive is G Hotel. It is just next to Gurney Plaza. The hotel is facing the sea. You can consider G Hotel because it is new, simple and nice interior design, the most important thing is get a room that facing the sea! The rate is reasonable...
