Ropewalk Bagan
About
Ropewalk Bagan, on Penang, stands at 11a, Jalan Selat, Taman Selat, 12000 Butterworth, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. The marketplace occupies a spot in Butterworth on the mainland, facing George Town across the strait.
First-time visitors find a covered trading floor where stalls set out goods for the day's shoppers. With 414 reviews giving an average of 3.9 out of 5, Ropewalk Bagan has drawn steady attention from people crossing from the island. Its Facebook page carries updates on what traders are bringing in.
Getting there from George Town means taking the ferry or the bridge to Butterworth, then continuing to Taman Selat. Buses and taxis cover the route, and the trip suits a half-day away from the island's resorts.
Butterworth serves as the mainland gateway for travellers heading onward by rail or road. Rice and noodles anchor most meals in this part of Malaysia, flavoured with sambal, coconut milk and belacan shrimp paste. Penang Hill, Batu Ferringhi and Gurney Drive sit back across the water for the return leg.
