    General Tips: Batu Ferringghi
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Favorite Thing: A suburb located at the north-western tip of Penang Island. Batu Ferringghi is also the most favourite Penang's beach. With all the international hotels and resorts along the coast line. There are lot of activities, good food and also good buy waiting to be explored. It's a fascinating place.

    Fondest Memory: When the night falls, you'll probably see more foreigners than locals hanging around here. Seeking for fine dining, a cup of beer or just strolling the night market.

    Aren't they religious people ?: Kek Lok Si
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Favorite Thing: Located at Ayer Hitam, Kek Lok Si Temple or 'Temple of supreme bliss', is country largest Buddhist temple complex. Built between 1893 - 1905, the temple is one of the popular among Penang's tourists. The temple's gem is the Pagoda of Rama VI or 'Pagoda of Thousand Buddhas'. Another favourite by the locals is the turtle pond fondly called 'Liberation Pond'.

    Fondest Memory: Along the staircase pathway to the main entrance of the temple, there're some stores selling local handycrafts, clothes and accessories. If you're thinking of buying some souvenirs, don't forget to bargain and ask for 'big' discount.

    Ayer Hitam dam is located right next to Kek Lok Si, you can either drive or walk. Famous among joggers.

    Penang Hill - What's that?: Penang Hill
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Favorite Thing: Initially built by Brits in 19th centuries, as a second home for Europeans who prefer cool surroundings and escape from the heat of tropics. Today, the hill is open to everyone who wants to take a bird eyes view of the spectacular Penang Island. A half an hour ride on the funicular railway from the Lower Tunnel Station is all it takes to alight atop the hill.
