Penang Hill is one of Penang island's featured attractions. Well known
for its cool and fresh climate from the tropical heat of George Town, it
is a popular holiday retreat to the locals as well as tourists. Penang
Hill is also known for its magnificently spectacular panoramic view of
George Town, the mainland, the Penang Bridge and the Straits of Malacca
which can be viewed from the Penang Hill Summit. The hill, also known as
Bukit Bendera or Flagstaff Hill, is 833 m (2,723 ft) above sea level
and stands out prominently from the lowlands as a hilly and forested
area.
The sights on Penang Hill itself is a nice relaxing view. Because of its
cool weather, beautifully landscaped flowers of all colours bloom in
full glory in the gorgeous flower garden.
Besides that there is a tea kiosk, several restaurants, souvenir stalls,
a mosque, and a Hindu temple for visitors to visit. A number of
picturesque bungalows and guesthouses were built around Flagstaff Hill
and some are up for rent for those who intend to stay for more than a
day.
