87 Reviews Penang Hill provides a very stunning and breath taking view of the Penang Bridge and the surrounding area, although the morning view of the bridge may be covered by fog and/or clouds. At night, enjoy the view of the lighted bridge and the buildings around the bridge.
69 Reviews This is a very interesting place to visit. The Buddhist temple is perched on a hill overlooking Georgetown. It is a great place to wander around - have a look at the various buildings. When we visited the place was decorated with red lanterns wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year.
24 Reviews There are many type of motorise water sport activities at Penang beaches. To name them are water scooter, banana boat pull by the other boat, the parasut sailing.

1 Review Located at the northern end of King Street, to the south of the Padang, I popped in here for something to eat for lunch. I was the only foreigner and so was looked at a bit by office workers whilst I sat and ate a very good honey chicken (RM5) and rice. The food is very good and cheap with a simple...
26 Reviews Batu Ferringhi was a good choice to stay at in Penang as this place comes alive at night and our hotel was close to the action. The night markets were fun to wander around. But after a big of walking, we built up a thirst ;o) So we found ourselves at the pub right next to my favourite restaurant...

26 Reviews Rapid Penang is providing air-condition public buses to the locals and tourists. It is the most affordable way to travel around the Island.

Don't temper with the wild monkeys
8 Reviews I can't really say that I like monkeys too much. Yes, they're cute and everything but they're also very unpredictable and can attack even if not intimidated. When you exit the funicular at the hills summit, be warned that monkeys are around and, of course, they'll be on the look out for any food.
2 Reviews Honestly speaking, the beach at Batu Ferringhi, Penang isn't quite what the tourist literature makes it up to be. The sandy portion is narrow, there are rocky outcrops everywhere and there's jellyfish within those waters. How did I know that? I got stung in the butt here once when I was stayed here...
3 Reviews I read everyone's comments about the snake temple but i still decided to go. Yes there really arent many free reigning snakes around however for a small price the temple has a mini zoo enclosure of snakes and this was very interesting! We even had the opportunity to go into a cage with one which i...

Whether you are sitting or standing throughout the 30 minutes ride, it is will crowded and you will be in close proximity although not touching each other. So what is outside is great distraction.
