Attractions - when you are on the top of Penang Hill you can enjoy the amazing view of Penang City, as well as a chilly climate which is cooler than the flat land of other places.

Known as the first colonial hill station developed in Peninsular Malaysia, Penang Hill. It has a long and vibrant history, and is definitely a must-visit when in Penang. Set 821m above Georgetown, Penang Hill offers amazing views of the city from the top as well as a chilly climate that's about five degrees cooler than at the lowlands. The funicular experience is amazing. It is the steepest railline in the world, and the view from top is truly breathtaking. There are lots of activities to do on the top of the hill as well. We also visited the Kek Lok Si Temple there and it was beautiful - Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda and a statue of Kuan Yin. #malaysia #penang

Anyone visiting Penang should consider adding Penang Hill to their checklist, especially if they wish to escape from the hot weather. Beside the refreshing cool breeze, for me the place offers an average experience. The funicular train at the lower station oh my god we queued for nearly two hours to board it, and when we finally did, the train was incredibly overcrowded. Getting an express lane could have been a great idea in such situation. The restaurant and cafe were all packed. So we opted for quick lunch at the food court, where we had to split up and take two separate tables for the 6 of us. We decided to skip the habitat walk because it was quite expensive. There are some historical buildings, mosque, hindu temple and monuments to visit. Ofcourse you cannot skip to take some photos of the Penang Town from top. The most worthwhile aspect was spotting the dusky leaf monkeys because they are irresistibly cute! #travel #trip #vacation #holiday #penang

Jambatan Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Address - Second Penang Bridge, Bayan Lepas, Penang Highlights - We choose Jambatan Sultan Abdul Halim because its less traffic congestion compare to the first bridge.

#mymymemories If you ever feel like you need to freshen yourself up after a long, tiring week at work, Penang Hill is a great place to be. You can be close to nature, and enjoy a scenic view of Penang as well. We went just in time for lunch, and we had the RM88 lunch set at David Brown's Hilltop Restaurant. The cooling air, topped with tea and delicious lunch was a very soothing experience for us. The highlight for us was sitting by the deck of the Sky Terrace! You can pay and take a drone shot of you and your friends there as well. We had a splendid time just sitting and reading our books, while drinking our coffee and enjoying the fresh air. There's plenty of things to do there at Penang Hill, and we will certainly make our way up there again for the other experiences! Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was there at 9:30am on Sunday and the place was already packed with people queuing for the ticket. we went ahead and got the Fast Lane tickets for foreigners. RM80 vs RM30. No regrets. zoomed past the long long queues and were able to get on the next available train. The Penang Hill is cooling and the ride up is fast. less than 5 mins and you are there. I visited another Attraction up there. The Habitat. Very serene and beautiful scenic walk around and truly enjoyed the high point : Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk.

I really amazed when i go to BUKIT BENDERA at Penang. Pertama sekali korang kena naik kereta api untuk naik ke atas. Dia sediakan photographer untuk ambil gambar korang untuk kenangan , hanya bayar 50 ringgit sahaja. Korang boleh tengok pemandangan penang dari atas dan mereka menyediakan cafe untuk rehat dimana korang boleh ootd dengan sahabat atau orang tersayang. 🫶🏻🤍#bukitbendera #summervacation #penang

I had an amazing experience at Kopi Hutan, nestled in the serene surroundings of Penang Hill, Penang. The coffee here is a true delight, perfectly complemented by the natural beauty that surrounds it. The aroma and flavors of the coffee transported me to a blissfull state of relaxation. One highlight of my visit was the generously portioned sandwich. It was not only delicious but also incredibly satisfying. Overall, my time at Kopi Hutan was a memorable one. I highly recommend visiting this delightful establishment to savor the unique blend of nature and culinary delights it has to offer.#awesomepic #natureview #urbanexplorer #hilltop #foodie #coffeelover #deliciousfood #mytripvlog #2023travelwish
