Penang Holiday

Welcome to Malaysia! Upon arrival at Penang International Airport, transfer to your hotel and check in. In the evening at 6pm local time, you will be picked up and transferred to Penang Hill for dinner. As sun sets upon Georgetown, the brisk business and chatter of day make way for lights of hotels, restaurants and watering holes to illuminate Penang Road It is still convivial, at a more relaxed pace as you set your foot on the cool hill, simply named Penang Hill, about 2750 feet above sea level and is the oldest hill resort in the country. A funicular train dating back to 1923, and has since been upgraded, functions to bring passengers to the top. The train ride is an experience in itself, coupled by colourful flora you’ll see. After that, view the city from the hilltop David Brown’s Restaurant. It lays a distant rumour of a long forgotten garden - David Brown’s at Strawberry Hill, a quintessential British colonial Restaurant and Tea Terraces. Hill Train ride & dinner are included.
