by Audrey118 There is even a hotel on the hilltop - you can come here and have a drink. The owner of the hotel was a relative of a Penang ex politican, and he was a famous architect, and has vast collection of Balinese paintings as well. And you will see them displayed. The Bellevue Hotel sits on the former Halliburton Hil because it used to belong to the Sheriff of Penang, Mr William Halliburton. Leave a Comment

 Nothing to see or do up in Penang Hill by johnnylau This is another should avoid attraction. The tram ride is terribly boring and there is nothing to see or do up on Penang Hill. Waste of time and money from my experience :( Leave a Comment Directions: Watch out for crook taxi drivers. They charge by the hour, no meter faring allowed.

by Audrey118 We saw another train coming on the opposite direction...this one has a sort of push cart in the front - it used to transport goods up Leave a Comment

 What a view on Penang Hill by leanne_pearc We took a taxi to the bottom of Penang hill and then took the rather scary looking funicular rail train up the hill! It is a very interesting steep ride and the view from the top of the hill is amazing. It is much cooler ascending the hill. At the top there is perfect photo taking opportunities, refreshments and some cheap sourvenior places. Another highlight is Kek Lok Si, Southeast Asia's largest Buddhist temple perched against a hill slope in Air Itam. Marvel at the statue of the Goddess of Mercy and the 30 metre high Pagoda. See the "Pond of Longevity" home for hundreds of tortoises set free by devotees. You can even take a photo with a snake! Wandering around the gardens was just as much fun as all of the above. I noticed a nice restaurant up on the hill as well called the Colonial Penang Hill. It looked very nice though we didnt have time to do in. Leave a Comment

by Audrey118 You can see lots of nutmeg trees esplly when you are visitng Kek Lok Si temple....here is nutmeg in packets for sale.... Nutmeg plantations were planted from seeds gathered from the Moluccus islands since 1800s.....it flourished as a popular spice trade seen in this part of the straits. Leave a Comment

by Audrey118 see the herds getting out of the train - phew - 1/2 hour of being cramped like sardines. The next step is to decide what time train do you want to get back down to the foothill - you must make reservation at the hill top station and they will mark your tickets with the time reservation. First train up is 6:30 am, and last train down is 9pm but weekends 11;30 Leave a Comment
