Lorong Kinta, George Town, Penang (3 May 2021)


Lorong Kinta (Traditional/Simplified Chinese: 近打冷), formerly known as Kinta Lane, is a minor street in George Town, Penang. It runs from Burmah Road to Macalister Road.

Kinta Lane is traditionally known as the road beside Rex Theatre, but now the theatre has been converted into Mekio Home Furnishing, a furniture outlet. The row of shophouses facing the theatre (title picture) has been carefully restored, and today houses the Penang Furnishing City.

There are a couple of off-shoot minor roads along Kinta Lane namely Jalan Talipon and Ong Chong Keng Street.
