Tanjung Tokong is a rapidly developing residential area along Penang's northern coast, positioned between Pulau Tikus and Tanjung Bungah. Once a quiet fishing village and Chinese settlement, it has been transformed by modern condominium and mixed-use developments -- most notably the Straits Quay waterfront complex.
