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.

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.

our guy was wonderful. He made sure we got everywhere and saw so many wonderful things. He would always park and drop us off right next to the attraction so we didn't have to walk. The attractions were just so fabulous.
Worthwhile trip up Penang Hill!!
Published on Jan, 2025
Penang hill and a ride with a buggy at the top was memorable. We did not have time to walk the sky bridge as it was very hot. But the environment was clean and everybody very friendly and helpfull.

Fantastic tour with Mr Ong
Published on Nov, 2024
Exploring Penang with Mr. Ong as our tour guide was an unforgettable experience that perfectly showcased the island’s rich culture, history, and cuisine. His deep knowledge of Penang’s heritage brought places like George Town, Kek Lok Si Temple, and Penang Hill to life, while his passion and personal anecdotes made every stop engaging and memorable. The itinerary was expertly planned, balancing iconic landmarks with hidden gems, and his culinary recommendations—ranging from street food delights to traditional Nyonya dishes—were a highlight of the tour. Mr. Ong’s warm personality, seamless planning, and genuine enthusiasm made the day both enriching and enjoyable. If you’re visiting Penang, Mr. Ong is the guide you need to truly experience the heart of the island. He goes the extra mile.
