Penang Hill
Other4.2 · 5 6323.9 · 8 639≈ 3 h 45 minEntry: ~40 MYR
An 833-metre hill on Penang island served since 1923 by a funicular railway with one of the steepest tunnel sections in the world. It is cooler at the top: viewing decks facing George Town, Hindu shrines, and The Habitat park with a walkway above the treetops. Sunset and the island's evening lights repay the trip; arriving early beats the queues.
Highlights
- Funicular railway running since 1923
- The Habitat walkway above the treetops
- George Town views from 833 metres
