Night arrives over George Town and the city lights assemble like a mapped constellation. You step from the lift onto Level 68 and the wind off the Malacca Strait dares you toward the Rainbow Skywalk: a glass walkway suspended roughly 249 metres above the streets. Below, lanes and colonial roofs soften into an urban grid while the sea opens to the west.
