  • Penang Hills

    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.

    1 hour

  • 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.

Terrific Tour Of Penang

Published on Nov, 2024

We spent the day with Vejay. He picked us up at the port and we went directly to Penang Hill for the funicular ride up. We had the express pass but it still took 40 mins in the line. It is a very busy spot. We spent some time up in the hill and saw the temple but due to the long wait we didn’t have time to walk through the habitat. From there we visited the Kek Lok Si temple complex. Vejay drove us right to the top and purchased our ticket to take the ride part way down. The entire area is beautiful with many different styles of temples. It was a wonderful spot to see. Vejay was able to give us a lot of information about the culture, religion and customs of the people living in Penang. And he answered all our questions patiently and thoroughly. He took lots of pictures for us as well We also saw the reclining Buddha at the Thai temple and had a blessing by a monk at the Burmese temple. It was an excellent seeing the sights and learning a lot about the area.

Hot, humid and helpful
