Penang Hill (Bukit Bendera)

A funicular railway climbs 830m above sea level to a colonial hill station with panoramic views over George Town, the Strait of Malacca, and the mainland mountains. The summit has nature trails, a colonial hotel, and temperatures 5 degrees cooler than the city below - a refreshing escape from the heat.
