Driving
Directions:
If driving, one is likely to use the Penang Bridge. When
approaching the end of the Penang Bridge, take the turning to Bayan
Lepas. This brings you to the main road of Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah.
Continue your journey until you approach the Bayan Lepas roundabout.
Take "3 o'clock" and drive straight for a kilometre (you
should now be at the second traffic light along that straight road). At
the traffic light, turn right uphill and take the next first two
turnings to the right. You have arrived at the five-star Hotel
Equatorial Penang - the island's only golf and convention resort. |
