Gurney Drive, Georgetown
Gurney Drive (also known as Persiaran Gurney) is a freehold town located in Georgetown, Penang. It is a popular seafront promenade where locals used to sit and enjoy the sea breeze and sea view before the fence was put up. The two extremely popular shopping centres in the island is located here, namely the Gurney Paragon and Gurney Plaza. The Gurney Drive Hawker Centre is one of the most well-known local eateries on the island. However, due to its popularity among out-of-state visitors, the price has risen higher than a coffee shop elsewhere in the state. There are many high-rise buildings and the road is frequently jammed in this area.
