It is my fav. place in Penang & a mist visit spot!Penang is a great city to visit while costing Malaysia anyways!

Malaysia's flag-raising mountain, also known as Penang Mountain, is located north of central Penang. The main peak of the west mountain is 833 meters above sea level, which is the highest point in Penang. It was named after British colonial times, when soldiers under the mountain used flag language to convey messages. This is a summer resort with the earliest Swiss-made cable rail system in Asia. The mountain is ecologically rich, with 2,456 varieties of plants and a variety of rare animals. Visitors can take a cable car or hike up the mountain to enjoy the wonders of the rainforest, the whole picture of Penang and the beautiful sunrise and sunset, and feel the beauty of nature and humanity.

It is worth seeing, there are many tropical plants inside and you can see the langur. The top of the mountain is very windy and you can see the whole picture of Penang. There is a heritage park that needs to buy another ticket. I personally think it is not necessary. You can choose an ancient road on foot up the mountain, free of charge. It is not expensive to take a small train up and down the mountain, 10 minutes drive.

Very good, the view is very wide, 60 MYR up and down the mountain, the top of the mountain is not expensive to eat and drink, very good

My personal feeling is that the Qingjing of Qishan and Taiwan are a bit different. Although the height is not as high as Qingjing, it can be seen through the whole island of Penang at a glance. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain in summer. Remember to wear long-sleeved trousers to avoid going up the mountain to donate blood for free. More special is that there is a ground cable car up and down the mountain, the steepest slope is nearly 60 degrees, the slope and passenger capacity are not lost to the Taiping Mountain cable car in Hong Kong, which is a relatively novel experience.

Very artistic From the top of the mountain overlooking the panoramic view of George City and the magnificent scenery of the Strait of Malacca. The dense vegetation on the mountain, with many tropical plants and wildlife, is a paradise for nature lovers. The fresh air and cool climate (especially in hot seasons) make it an ideal place to escape the heat.

In Jetty Bas Terminal, taking the bus to the tourist distribution center under the mountain, directly to the window to buy tickets and take the cable car up the mountain is the most convenient way to travel, helping me save a lot of climbing time. There are ice cream sales on the mountain, as well as restaurants, amusement parks and many observation decks. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the charm of the natural scenery, overlooking the Georgetown port terminal, Penang Bridge and city construction. Banner Mountain (Malay Bukit Bendera; Penang Chinese call it Banner Mountain; English Penang Hill means Penang Mountain) is located in the north-central Penang, the main peak is 821 meters above sea level. During British rule, senior officials lived here, and soldiers under the mountain used the flag to convey an important message, calling the mountain The flag-raising mountain, which is the origin of the name of the flag mountain. It is a common way to travel down the mountain by cable car. The first cable car was officially launched in 1923 until 1977. The new cable car was introduced from Switzerland from 1977 to 2010. The new cable car, which is now in use, was officially launched in May 2011, with speeds of up to 10 km per hour and up to the top of the mountain in four minutes. In September 2021, Penang, Malaysia, was listed as a UNESCO Biopark Reserve, becoming the third region in the country to receive this award.
