What To Expect
Penang Hill
A colonial-era hill station, Penang Hill sits behind George Town, about 2,733 feet (833 meters) above sea level. Visit in style on the Penang Hill Funicular Railway, a cliff-side railway dating back to 1924. The trains and tracks are modern, and the sheer ascents through the jungle and over bridges make for a spectacular
Penang Botanical Gardens
For over a century, Penang Botanic Gardens has provided an open and peaceful green space for the people of Penang to enjoy. Originally built on the site of an old quarry, the gardens were initially focused on botanical pursuits but this evolved after the Second World War, and they’re now primarily a place people come to stroll, hike, jog, or simply enjoy the beautiful tree-framed setting.

5.00A long day but very rewarding as you see so much scenery and really beautiful temples a historic mansion house ending up finishing up at the homes on legs over the sea. Sham is a excellent safe driver and a very informative and friendly person to guide you around Phenag.
