The Batu Maung fishing village is a closeknit community located at Penang Islands
southeastern tip. It is famed for a
mysterious giant footprint on a boulder at
the beach. Known as Tapak Gedembai,
the origins of the footprint differ among
the different communities. The Chinese
believe the footprint was left by Admiral
Cheng Ho, while Indians believe it was
the footprint of the monkey god Hanuman
and Malays believe it belonged to a fleeing
giant.
