The style of Hayao Miyazaki's paintings. You need to queue up for about two hours for the small train. You enter in batches and reach the top of the mountain. You can overlook the pier. There is a restaurant on the top of the mountain with beautiful prices. Drink some beer or coffee and enjoy the breeze. It is very comfortable. Hinduism, Islam, and Catholicism gather together in harmony.
Malaysia🇲🇾Penang【Penang Hill】 Penang Hill Standing on the top of Penang Hill, you can overlook the entire George Town and the cities on the Malay Peninsula across the strait! Riding the cable car on Penang Hill reminds me of the cable car on Hong Kong's Tin Ping Shan. They are basically the same. The only difference may be that this one is newer and the other one is already old. Address: Stesen Bukit Bendera Pulau Pinang, the ticket office of the cable car station at the foot of Penang Hill Transportation: Bus No. 201, No. 204, No. 502 can get there. Tickets: Tickets, which are also cable car tickets, are 30 Malaysian ringgits round trip (50 ¥) Time: 6:30-23:00 ⚠️Be sure to buy fast track tickets on holidays, otherwise you will have to queue for several hours

You can see a lot of butterflies and some insects here! In particular, there is an insect specimen exhibition provided by the Japanese, where you can enjoy many longhorn beetle-type insects and various butterfly specimens.
I had a wonderful time visiting Entopia, a nature sanctuary that brings you up close with butterflies, insects, and other small creatures in a beautifully designed environment. The highlight of my visit was definitely the butterfly release activity at 10:30 AM. It was such a peaceful and mesmerizing experience to watch newly emerged butterflies take their first flight into the lush, open-air garden. The staff explained the process with care and enthusiasm, making the moment even more meaningful.The outdoor garden was vibrant and teeming with butterflies of all colors and sizes fluttering around freely. It's the perfect place to slow down, take photos, and enjoy the natural surroundings. Inside, the indoor discovery centre offers interactive exhibits, insect displays, and educational zones that are engaging for both kids and adults.

A must visit while around Penang. A great flying fox setup for zip lining along with training. Good water rides. Friendly staff and awesome crowd
It’s my first visit and I’m really impressed. Every activity is full of surprises, and the staff are very friendly. One area for improvement could be providing a place to charge phones.

Komtar is a famous landmark building in George City, Penang, Malaysia. It is named after "**Penang**" and "**Everbright**" (**Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak**), and is one of the main commercial and administrative centers in Penang. The design of the building is a combination of commercial, retail, office and government uses. It was originally built in 1974 and completed in 1986, with a height of about 249 meters. With 65 floors, it was one of the tallest buildings in Southeast Asia at the time. In recent years, Komtar has undergone several renovations and renovations, including the addition of a glass corridor (The Rainbow Skywalk), where visitors can overlook the beautiful scenery of George City at high altitude. This building is not only an important landmark in Penang, It is also a frequent destination for locals and tourists.
There were so many people at the cable car on Penang Hill that we could only go to the top to see the view. There are many activities in Guangda. Adults only need to go to the top floor, and children can play below. It would be great if there were professionals 📷, and they would definitely be able to take beautiful scenery photos.

Pantai Batu Ferringhi is the perfect beach escape in Penang—relaxing by day, vibrant by night! With its golden sands, swaying palms, and clear blue waves, it’s ideal for sunbathing, swimming, or just soaking in the tropical vibes. For the adventurous, there’s parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boat rides to get your heart racing. As the sun sets, the beach transforms into a lively night market filled with local food, souvenirs, and handcrafted goods. It's fantastic weather.

Views are worth going for but the onsite cafe shuts too early, especially when they are taking sunset tours as well.
It was fine. Not as impressive as I thought it was going to be be. It doesn't take long to explore the entire habitat. It was quiet and peaceful though, not many people around.

A must-visit in Penang, it has a very unique feel and is very photogenic. There are many shops run by Chinese people, and you can communicate in Chinese and simple English. It is very comfortable to find a coffee shop for a smoothie on a hot day. There is a good Hainanese chicken rice nearby, which is not expensive and tastes amazing.
Malaysia🇲🇾Penang【George Town Street Art】 Mirror Georgetown There are many murals scattered on the streets of Georgetown, which is one of the reasons why many people come to Penang for tourism. It is the latest tourist attraction in Georgetown. Most of these murals were created by Ernas, a 25-year-old artist from Lithuania, for the Georgetown Festival. Later, more painters participated. Address: 316, Beach St, Georgetown, 10300 George Town, Penang, Malaysia The murals are scattered, so it is recommended to rent a bicycle or take a rickshaw to visit. The real area of ​​the art street is actually not large, just two streets, which is also the area where tourists are most concentrated.
