Expert Review

"This is a definate 'must see' when visiting Penang. The 830 metre high Penang Hill is well worth a visit for the cooler air, and the lovely views over Penang. To get there, you can either walk to the top, or ride the Swiss made Funicular up the steep hill, Halfway up the hill, you get out and change trains.The Funicular starts operation at 6.30am and departs half hourly.At the top, there is a Kiosk, Restaurant, Souvenir Stalls, Bellevue Hotel, a Mosque, Hindu Temple, Bellevue Hotel, Bird Park ( open 9-6pm) and a Canopy walk if you wish to do.At night, enjoy the view of the lighted bridge and the buildings around the bridge." - By Mohd Sadath, 28 Aug 2013
