Magazine Junction / Magazine Circus**
自早期以来，Magazine Circus 或是後來的 Magazine Junction 一直是槟城繁忙的地标，曾是电车系统的中心枢纽，连接城市各个地区。后来，这里转变为六条道路交会的圆环（槟榔律，火车路，头条路，风车路，柑仔园和中路），因此得名 Magazine Circus，马来语称为 Simpang Enam，福建话称为 “五葩灯”（Go-pha-teng）。
1980年代，配合市政綜合中心項目，包括一座巨型摩天樓 – 光大大廈（KOMTAR）的建設，此交匯點從電車交界處，逐渐发展为交通圈，最终被交通灯取代，城市景观也随之改变。
A bustling landmark in Penang since the early days, Magazine Circus or later known as Magazine Junction was once the central hub for the tramway system, connecting various parts of the city. It later transformed into a distinctive roundabout with six intersecting roads (Jalan Penang, Jalan Gladstone, Jalan Magazine, Jalan Gurdwara, Jalan Datuk Keramat and Jalan Macalister), earning the name Magazine Circus - also known as Simpang Enam in Malay and Go-pha-teng ("Five Lanterns") in Hokkien.
In the 1980s, plans for a civic complex led to the construction of a giant skyscraper – KOMTAR. This junction gradually transformed from a tramway hub into a roundabout, and was eventually replaced by traffic lights, reshaping the city's landscape.
Tramway System**
Magazine Junction 曾是電車系統的核心樞紐，連接著城市各個地區。1910年建成了一條長達 885 米（968 碼） 的電車延伸路線，貫穿整條風車路，被稱為 Brick Kiln Road Extension。後來，電車路線進一步向外延伸，連接人口稠密的市郊，從頭條路通往日落洞，途中繞過了風車路。
隨著城市發展，有軌電車系統逐漸演變，被無軌電車取代，最終過渡到現代的交通運輸系統。
Magazine Junction was once the hub for the tramway system, connecting various parts of the city. An extension tram line named Brick Kiln Road Extension was suggested and constructed on 1910 with the distance of 968 yards or equivalent to 885 meters. Later, the line further extended through densely populated suburbs, running from Magazine Road to Jelutong and bypassing Brick Kiln Road.
Over time, as the city developed, the electric tram system evolved, giving way to trolleybuses and eventually transitioning into modern transportation systems.
