Penang Hill or Bukit Bendera is the only hill in Penang that is easily accessible to tourists. In my opinion, there is nothing much to see and buy in Penang Hill except for its cool air which is not cold when the whether is hot.

However, if you were to visit Penang, you should visit Penang Hill for its simplicity as a Hill 'Resort'. Take the Penang Hill Train up. There is nothing much on the way up except trees on both sides of the train. So why visit such a place?

Because it is a slow and undeveloped hill resort or park at the hill top. Most parks in Penang are partly surrounded by 'range of hills or foot of hills' which make those parks cool unlike Penang Hill where is it an open space not surrounded by hill or jungle but still cool due to its height.

The fare for an adult is RM3.00 for a one way trip and RM4.00 for a two way trip. For children age 3 - 12, a one way trip is RM1.50 and two way is RM2.00. I guess is is quite cheap. The train service opens from about 6:30am to about 9.15pm on weekdays.

When I went up to take these photos, the Tea Kiosk was closed for renovation. So, I could not take any photo from there. Long time ago when I went up Penang Hill, the Tea Kiosk area had many flowers. Lastly, kindly "Keep Penang Clean". 		Coming events - none
