Spontaneous trip to Penang Hill

6th Apr,Fri-Being a local Penangite,I had a spontaneous trip with my family and relatives to visit Penang hill after the last visit 12years ago.The entree tickets fees for tourist is RM30 for 2ways transfer.RM8(written in Bahasa Melayu) 2ways transfer for Malaysian who bring along their Identification Card.RM4 2 ways transfer for Golden citizen(>55years old).The cable car's working hours is from 6.00am-11.00pm daily.Every half an hour there will be a trip up to Penang hill and down from Penang hill.It took only 5minutes for us to get up to the hill top.The cable car stopped by 2 stops to dropped off locals who are still staying in the hill.Well,nowadays there are not much of people staying there,some are staffs that take care of the bungalows.


It was 9am & it's very cooling and foggy when we reached the top.Me and my parents have a walk around.Once we walk out from the cable car station,David Brown restaurant is on our left.On our right,if it's not foggy we can see Penang island and mainland's view. What we can see now is just Fog!Further down there is a food court and Owl museum.There is a Indian temple and Mosque too.We climbed up the stairs and saw this Playground.It's like a dreamland playground in the fog.My dad said:"Where is the temple?I remember there is a Hindu Temple here...."Suddenly when we turn our heads,we saw the Hindu Temple just in front of us."I experienced "Ask and you shall Get!"I got a message in the temple.It's Ghandi's prayer for peace.

After visiting the temple,we went back down.There is a hotel that provides Buggy service where you can have a ride around.We chose to walk 1km+ from the hotel to the other end.Along the way,there are lots of flowers,trees,beautiful bungalows.There is this a 1818 post box!We did not walk till the end because we met our relatives at about 1.3km.They had reached the end earlier and were heading back.So we joined them.My relatives told me that till the end there are lots of big trees,the air is very fresh.We stopped at the view deck to snapped photos.

We walked back to the main area to have a cup of coffee and waited for the next trip down the hill.We took the hot seats that are facing the trail,where we can see our way down without any blockage.The ride was really fast!There was this part that we cant see the trail and it felt like riding on a roller coaster.We screamed and it was really fun!The trip down only took us 3minutes.I enjoyed my trip to Penang Hill.I recommend you to visit it when you are in Penang.It is Great for a morning walk,evening stroll,family picnic and couple dating.I'll grab a chance to meditate there as well.
