Penang Hill

Then you will also visit Penang Hill where you will ride a funicular train to its peak at 833m above sea level to enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Georgetown and mainland Butterworth. Colonial bungalows can be found around this hill due to the British preferring to stay in a cooler climate compared to the hot and humid environment in the city.

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Kek Lok Si Temple

After that, you will visit Kek Lok Si Temple. Built in 1891 as a small shrine, it has since expanded to become one of the most majestic and largest temples in South-East Asia. Since its founding in 1930, the “Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas” is considered one of Penang’s most beautiful architectural wonders as it is able to incorporate 3 cultures into one structure – Chinese octagonal base, Thai middle tier and Burmese Crown. A 30.2m Guan Yin – Goddess of Mercy bronze statue was erected in 2002 on the highest point of the temple. It can be reached via an Inclined lift at the middle. On the way, we will stop for some free sampling of Penang’s famous White Coffee/ Tea at Coffee Tree and also at Crown Pewter for demonstration – Witness how Malaysian handicraft is made.

End of the tour return to your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Highlights of Penang

LuizaR106, 29-07-2022

Absolutely must see when in Penang. We spend 3 hours at Penang Hill, taking time to enjoy the view and the Habita walk, which was amazing. Good to have fast lane ticket especially on the way back. Kek Lok Si temple was very impressive too. It took us 1 hour to see everything. After that we were taken to o coffee and batik shop. Our guide Robin was very good, funny, super knowledgeable and told us many stories about Penang, Malaysia and even beyond. Overall the trip is highly recommend but much overpriced.

Fun day in Penang

Driver was excellent. Patient and explained things well. Penang hill is an interesting place to visit. Taking the tram up is a bit packed to fast lane is a must. Kek lok Si is impressive and a must see

Great family getaway!

Our guide provided detailed information during transit, and gave us guidance and recommendations on what to see and avoid at each location. We were left to explore at our own pace; which is great for us. Plenty of time to souvenir shop at each location.

Perfect day
