Penang Hill

Recently I went up to Penang Hill with my parents on New Year's Day. It only took 5 minutes to get to the hilltop with the newly upgraded funicular railway service as compared to the previous rolling stock which was much slower. Aside from that, visitors no longer need to switch trains at the Middle Station to get to the Top Station from the Bottom Station. Penang Hill has since improved with many additional attractions and facilities upgraded, including a food court, Astaka Bukit Bendera and an Owl Museum. Currently more viewing platforms are being constructed next to the funicular railway station. What is most exhilarating is the breathtaking view of George Town and the rest of Penang Island from the top of the hill.
