Bukit Mertajam, the administrative center of Seberang Perai, first started out as an agricultural epicenter in the 19th century, and later developed into a transportation hub. Churches and temples make up for some of the tourist attractions in the area. St. Anne’s Church, which became open in 1888, is one such attraction amassing around 100,000 visitors every year to the novena held there. Another attraction you can visit is the remains of a 135-year-old temple called Hock Teik Cheng Sin Temple that was burnt in 2019. Worry not because it will be restored by the end of 2021 and by then, you can see it once again in its full glory. You can explore this rich cultural hub all you want as soon as you settle in a nice place where you can call your home. Scroll down for the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Bukit Mertajam, Malaysia.
