Penang Hill, Penang, Malaysia

Penang Hill is located about 6km from city centre. You can ride Rapid Penang Bus or Taxi to lower train station, The funicular train will climb 830m to the top of Penang Hill.  Penang Hill is the only funicular train system in South East Asia.

The track built by British completed in1923. At that time, Penang Hill serve as a resort for Briton to escape from Penang tropical heat. The hill also serve as a strategic point to control security and shipping land in Penang.

Recent upgrade of the train completed on 2010. The new train is faster and waiting time is also improve. The new train also air-conditioned.

There is not much activity on the top of the hill. But a nice ABC or literally mean Mixed Crushed Ice (with syrup, nuts and ice-cream) with scenic view of Penang will sure give a memorable experiences.

Queensbay Mall, Penang Island, Malaysia

This is my short trip to Penang. Out first plan is to ride train at Bukit Bendera. But since it is close for upgrading works, we go to Queensbay instead. Travelling is quite smooth, thanks to the widening of Penang bridge.

The Queensbay Mall is quite OK but outdoor parking is not up to the standard. The sea air is very breathy and food stall at the roadside is great,

Enjoy the picture.
