Overview of your Penang tour

I will take you to the Penang Hill by funicular train to go up to the Hill, it's 830 meters above the sea level. It takes about 15 minutes to ride from the lower station to the upper station. Upon arrival, you can catch a bird eye view of Penang Island. This railway was first opened in 1923 as a two - sections railway, and the system was overhauled in 2010. Next, visit Kek Lok Si Temple, you will see the 36. 5 meters high bronze statue of Kuan Yin (Guanyin), the Goddess of Mercy. After spending some time here, you can visit the Pagoda, officially known as Bon Po Thar. Be amazed by the Kek Lok Si Pagoda as how it was built. The base of Pagoda was built in a Chinese Style, the center part is Thai & the top part is Burmese style. Take some beautiful photos, enjoy the peaceful & calm atmosphere with cool breeze before head down back to the cruise port.
