 Kampung Genting, Balik Pulau, Penang
|
Kampung Genting is a small village in Balik Pulau. It is the first settlement that you pass by when you descend the hill road coming from the direction of Teluk Kumbar.
The name "Genting" means "hill pass", as this was a narrow pass used by the country villages to reach the settlements in Teluk Kumbar, Sungai Batu and Bayan Lepas. The pekan, or village centre of Kampung Genting is a Chinese settlement with a market place. Farther away from the pekan are Malay village houses.
To the west of Kampung Genting is one of the few remaining paddy fields on Penang Island.
