- We are on Penang Hill, Bukit Bendera on the island of Penang in Malaysia, South East Asia. In this video we will show you Penang Hill and many of the Attractions on it, Penang Hill is Not Just Any Hill in Malaysia! Our tour starts at the foot of Penang Hill just a short drive from Penang´s main city centre George Town. We will be riding the the Funicular Train that shuttles people up and down Penang Hill at lightning speed. The Penang Hill Funicular Railway was opened in 1923 as a two-section railway, and just the high speed ride on the Funicular is a worthwhile Penang experience to take home with you!
Penang Hill Attractions covered in this video include the Skywalk, the Skydeck with its beautiful view over Georgetown, the Second Generation Coach (one of the original Funicular train carriages used to transport people up and down Penang Hill), the Penang Hill Mosque (Masjid Bukit Pendera), the Sri Aruloli Thirumugan Temple (unfortunately it was closed for renovations when we visited Penang Hill), Bel Retiro Gate House, The Habitat, the Heritage Post Box, the Cannon (32-Pounder Cannon), the Guard House, the El Walk and the Monkey Cup Garden. We spent the day Hiking on Penang Hill and at the end of the day we were driven back by pickup to the Funicular Railway area. For those of you who have walking disabilities there are Chauffeured Golf Kits available to take visitors on a sightseeing tour on Penang Hill. Penang Hill with its Viewpoint overlooking George Town is one of the Top Penang Island Attractions and well worth a visit when you visit this Penang, Malaysia.
This footage is filmed in 4k Ulta HD Quality on Penang Island in Malaysia in 2019.
THREE MUST SEE / MUST DO ATTRACTIONS ON PENANG HILL
1. Ride the Funicular Train to the Top of Penang Hill
2. Admire the View of George Town from the hill (This is Penang´s Best View Point)
3. DO NOT miss walking on the Curtis Crest Treetop Walk
Wiki writes about Penang Hill, "Penang Hill is a hill resort comprising a group of peaks on Penang Island, Malaysia. It is located within the Air Itam suburb, 9 km (5.6 mi) west of the center of George Town. Penang Hill is also known by the Malay name Bukit Bendera, which actually refers to Flagstaff Hill, the most developed peak. One of the peaks is known as Strawberry Hill, which was also the name of a house owned by Francis Light, founder of Penang colony.."
Wiki writes about Penang, "Penang is a Malaysian state located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia, by the Malacca Strait. It has two parts: Penang Island, where the capital city, George Town, is located, and Seberang Perai on the Malay Peninsula. They are connected by Malaysia's two longest road bridges, the Penang Bridge and the Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge; the latter is also as of May 2019 the longest oversea bridge in Southeast Asia.."

We know. We will watch it anyway since we got a lot of time....
We thought the tickets to the Habitat were expensive too but figured you can’t come that far and not do it. We found the fast track tickets for the funicular handy as there were a lot of people queued up when we were there. Will definitely have to come back to do some of the walks and see the things we missed 😊
As I’m watching Maro take photos of all the beautiful flowers, I wish my mom was still around to see this video! She loved to walk in botanical gardens! Thank you for your lovely videos enjoying them while on stay at home!!
You are very welcome! We are happy to hear that you are enjoying our videos, thanks for watching them! Greetings to you from Copenhagen, Denmark - Maxi and Maro :-D
Wow. I think I would probably understand Danish more than Finnish lol. Never been to Malaysia, sure does look beautiful
Hi Jonathan, Maro and I lived in Finland together for almost 9 years and I (maxi) still do not understand Finnish, HaHa! Malaysia is wonderful and we can highly recommend a visit there! Have a good day and thanks for watching and commenting! :-D
@@TravellerYT You Maxi are mastering English like a native speaker!
Oh my God I miss this place very much.
It is a lovely place! :-D
This was superb absolutely loved it . Penang is a place I’m desperate to visit and I may even do a week in kl and a week in Penang . We’re a bit funny as once we unpack a suitcase we don’t want to touch it again untill we have it come home and hate packing unpacking but I feel we must do this . I will chat with mags . Thanks again this was so so helpful 👍 enjoy rest of week
Good Evening Kiero & Mags! We are both happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. By the sounds of what you have told us in the past our holiday routines are very much the same and based on that we are sure that you would enjoy spending a day like this in Penang. We are also similar in the way that we like to stay in one place and therefore recommend staying in KL longer than a week and there go back and visit Penang at a later stage. There is so much to do and see in Kuala Lumpur, remember that :-D Have a nice evening! Kind Regards from Copenhagen - Maxi and Maro :-D
I would suggest just 4 max 5 days in KL then spend 9~10 days in Penang.
True there is much to do and see in KL, but the same.goes for Penang however KL can be just another city, with its concrete forests.
Penang is an awesome place. Also, lots to see and live.... you need to relax and settle into her vibe and stride. It is a living museum.
@@eurasianwolf3957 Agreed, spend more time in Penang to relax and enjoy life.
Love all of your videos. Thank you very much for sharing
You are welcome! Thanks for your kind words and for watching our vids :-D
Welcome to Penang!
Thank you. This was actually filmed last Easter 2019. The irony is that we had planned to return and were actually supposed to land in Penang Yesterday (Saturday). Obviously we had to cancel the trip on account of the current world crisis! We will be back to visit lovely Penang again! Thanks for watching our video, enjoy the rest of your weekend :-D
Wir lieben Eure Videos, es macht so viel Spaß, Euch zu begleiten. Vielen Dank Conny & Mario Bleibt schön Gesund :-)

Thanks for an informative video tour of Penang Hill. Definitely on our list to visit when we go!
Tis is not to be missed if you enjoy the nature, we enjoyed the hike along the hill very much and will do it again next time we are in Penang. Maybe we will join you there for Christmas if our booked trip is cancelled (that is Plan B at the moment ;-) )
That would be great! 😁 But, am only going to book flights once they reopen our borders though, and provided Malaysia has also reopened by then.
Im always watching in yr vlog....i hope u visit in Philippines someday ☺️
Thanks for watching our videos. Perhaps we will get the chance to visit the Philippines in the future :-D
😍 superb love it..support..
Glad to hear that. We really enjoyed the day we spent up on Penang Hill, such a lovely place :-D
Wow nice
We really enjoyed the hours we spent there, thanks for watching!
A pity you did not visit Bellevue, the Penang Hill Hotel which is below the mosque. It has a great small botanical garden but more than that you will get the best view of George Town below.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos which are so well and thoughtfully put together. Really well done.
I am a subscriber living in my hometown of Kuala Lumpur.
Bellevue is on our list for Penang on our next visit. We were actually meant to be travelling there again in two days time (on Friday) but we had to cancel the trip on account of the Coronavirus. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Greetings back to you from Copenhagen, Denmark :-D
♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for watching our video Roy!
Please stat safe and protected during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Thanks for watching! Same to you Matt!
My Mom and all her family are from Durban as well! Ever thought of travelling back, for a trip?
We do plan to visit SA again in the future but on not sure yet when that will be. Thanks for watching, enjoy the rest of your weekend :-D
I hope you can visit Manila one day from Copenhagen
Thanks for watching our video Lucas! Maybe one day we will make our way to Manila also :-D
Penang Hill does look like it has Panoramic View
So your originally from South Africa 🇿🇦 ... even since I was a kid I wanted to climb Table Top Mountain ( as my best mate in my younger teenage years was a South African who moved to Australia 🇦🇺 ) ... anyway I spend 6 months in Namibia 🇳🇦 in 1989 with UNTAG - United Nations 🇺🇳 & during this time , because i was with the Australian Army - I wasn’t allowed to travel to South Africa due of the apartheid
Now I’m residing in the Philippines 🇵🇭 during the Coronavirus
I was also in Denmark 🇩🇰 in 1991 during a holiday around Scandinavia & down to the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Hopefully my next trip is Malaysia 🇲🇾 or Taiwan 🇹🇼
Yes, Maxi grew up in SA and is Danish/South Africa. Nice that you have also spent time in Africa. We can highly recommend Malaysia and Taiwan! Kuala Lumpur and Taipei are both amazing cities to spend time!
Tq sir for sharing your experience to the habitat "Bukit Bendera", Penang. Would like to experience it myself the habitat once have the chance. Anyway what camera did you use for these footage? Regards, Ashraf, Subang Jaya
23:40 I think that is calabash gourd. The locals use it in certain cuisine. Not very sure tho
Hello there zakwanarif! Thank you for watching our video and for taking the time to answer the question we asked in it, interesting to now know what it was! Have a good day! Best Regards from Maxi and Maro :-D
Heel erg mooi maar niet geschikt voor een zomertripje voor mij want het is maar liefst 24 uren vliegen. Jammer.
Het is een heerlijke plek! Bedankt voor het kijken. Groeten uit Kopenhagen.
credit to current Penang State government. they have done and improved a lots on tourism sector in Penang. Penang Hills has changed dramatically since 2010.
Penang is a lovely place. We enjoyed it so much that we had planned to return for another visit during Easter this year. Sadly we had to cancel the Trip on account of the current World Crisis! Have a good weekend :-D
@@TravellerYT No Worries. Selamat Datang ! Penang always welcome visitors. Stay Healthy and Safe. Look forward to see more videos from you soon.
23:30 Calabash
Thanks for watching our video and for taking the time to answer the question we asked within it. It is nice to now know what that fruit was. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Best Regards from Copenhagen, Denmark - Maxi and Maro :-D
