Penang Hill (Bukit Bendera) - Penang
 To rejuvenate jaded senses, Penang Hill beckons with the promise of fresh and cool air and an awe-inspiring view of the island. Still relatively unspoilt, Penang Hill provides a quiet break from the hectic pace of the city. Breathtaking views of the island and the Andaman Sea can also be enjoyed during the drive to and from Balik Pulau.
If you are not quick on your feet you can miss a seat, but the majority of passengers stand. Any way you see more and have the added fun of travelling upwards at 45 degrees to the landscape. This is no tourist train but a serious railway. Goods are carried on a small rail- wagon pushed ahead of the passenger car. There are stations where passengers alight and goods are delivered. |
