Known as Foreigner's Rock in local language, Batu Ferringhi is a beach township, occupying a stretch of beach at north of Penang. It may be a bit calm if you pass by during the day but as night approaches, Batu Ferringhi comes alive!

Small alley on street pavement

By the main road in Batu Ferringghi

Despite the narrow main road along Batu Ferringhi, local traders diligently put up their stalls along the pavement everyday as long as it is not raining. They operate right after sunset, as early as 6pm until past midnight. If you are coming from Tanjung Bungah, the string of stalls stretches from Rasa Sayang Resort and all the way to Casuarina Hotel – a distance of more than 1 km.
