The lane is lined with two-storey shophouses with five-foot ways, and Sultan Mosque can be seen at its southern end. Little is published about the building itself, so the facts below relate mainly to the street and the area.

Interesting facts

Pinang is the Malay word for the areca palm, whose nut is chewed with betel leaf.
The lane lies within the Kampong Glam conservation area, gazetted by URA on 7 July 1989 and bounded by Ophir Road, Victoria Street, Jalan Sultan and Beach Road.
URA notes that nearby North Bridge Road was traditionally the street of tailors and goldsmiths, while textiles and Muslim food remain the main trades of the district today.
Sultan Mosque, visible from the lane, was completed in its present form in 1932 and became a national monument in 1975.
