Jalan Gopeng, George Town

Jalan Gopeng, George Town, Penang (9 July 2022)


Jalan Gopeng, formerly Gopeng Road, is a minor road in George Town, Penang. Located off Dato Kramat Road, it is a no-through road in the form of the letter "L". The road was named after Gopeng, Perak.

Jalan Gopeng is noted for having well-preserved traditional-style shophouses from the turn of the 20th century, surprisingly old for the area. Some of these gems were preserved due in part to Jalan Gopeng being overlooked for urban development. The best examples are the row from the start of Dato Kramat junction to the 7th townhouse. Deeper in, the houses are newer and in plain "modern" style.
