A trip to Penang is only complete with a visit to Penang Hill also known as Bukit Bendera referred as Flagstaff Hill with British colonisation presence in early days. A spectacular view of Penang city above 750m sea level would exhilarate visitors. Interestingly, in a corner above the hill, lies a Hindu temple Sri Aruloli Thirumurugan which has been around 150 years old built for bungalow owners staff. 1929 built police station is another gratifying sight. There is also a mosque Masjid Bel Retiro for our Muslim brothers & sisters. Furnicular train transits from base to the top around 10 mins. Cafes has a range of F & B. Don't leave Penang without lovely sovenirs for loved ones. Tickets can be bought online or over the counter. Buses to Penang Hill can be taken from city around Komtar or jetty vicinities.
