Had a nice time @ Penang Hill. Cable train ride is a different experience. View of the Penang island from the top is very nice more

Great views from the top but the journey in the tram to get there was horrible. Packed like sardines for 30mons each way (and I use the tube in rush hour every day!) The views from the top are spectacular if you can do the journey. we actually just took the public bus from the jetty (1.50RM each way) which... more

Purchase the tickets which are so cheap, MYR12 for 4 pax, to & fro trip. Sit around the waiting area cos the tram may take 20 mins or so. We... more

The scenic journey takes half an hour and will lead to spectacular views of Penang. Once you get to the top it’s a good place to wander about and... more

Visited Penang Hill (immediately after visiting the Kek Lok Si temple, which is less than 5 mins away by taxi) on 7 Sep 2005. Was most intriguied by the Canopy Walk on offer, but we only found out after arriving at the foot of the hill that the attraction was temporarily close "for safety reasons". Anyway, much heralded was the... more
