Penang Hill is actually made up of a series of hills that
rises at 821 meters above sea level. Among the series of
hills are the Western Hill, Tiger Hill, Strawberry Hill,
and others, these hills are popular among the visitors and
locals alike. A 30-minute journey by funicular rail, which
was opened for operation since 1923, takes visitors to the
summit of Flagstaff Hill, or also known as Bukit Bendera
by the locals for a panoramic view of the city and the coastal
areas.
The ride takes about half an hour to reach the summit.
Visitors could also hike up the trail for an adventurous
hike, which is about 4.5 miles long. Once reaching the summit,
visitors will be offered with a panoramic view of the gardens,
a bird park, souvenir stalls, old bungalows and a small
café shop, these places are worth exploring.
