Penang Hill

Penang Hill is a group of forested peaks in the centre of Penang Island, about 9 km west of central George Town, rising to 833 metres at Western Hill. A retreat from the heat in colonial times, its developed summit, Flagstaff Hill, is reached by the Penang Hill Railway funicular and has viewpoints over George Town, colonial bungalows, temples and forest trails.
