Penang Hill, or Bukit Bendera, is a popular hill resort in George Town, Malaysia, offering stunning panoramic views of the island. Rising 833 meters above sea level, it provides a cool escape from the tropical heat. Visitors can reach the summit via the historic funicular railway, one of the world’s steepest. Attractions include The Habitat, with its lush rainforest canopy walk, the iconic Curtis Crest treetop walk, and the colonial-style David Brown’s restaurant. Rich in history and nature, Penang Hill is a must-visit for breathtaking scenery, diverse flora and fauna, and a glimpse into Malaysia’s colonial past.
