- Penang's vibrant and diverse capital, George Town, is located on the Malaysian island of Penang. The city is noted for its British colonial structures, Chinese shophouses, and mosques, and was once an important Straits of Malacca commerce hub. George Town is a modern metropolis with skyscrapers and shopping complexes beyond the old town.
Today we visit Penang Hill, a hiking trail and funicular railway, which provides a panoramic view of the city. Then a stone's throw away we go. Thean Kong Thnuah Temple is a Chinese temple located at the foot of Penang Hill in Air Itam, Penang. Completed in 1869, it is the only temple in Malaysia built specifically for the worship of the Jade Emperor and becomes a focal point for the annual Jade Emperor's Birthday celebrations on the 9th day of Chinese New Year. From there we walked to More than two hundred years ago, the Bats' Cave Temple of Tua Peh Kong was established at the foot of Penang Hill, on Jalan Pokok Ceri. The temple is remarkable and unique since it is home to a few dozen bats who live in the cave inside the temple. Then just a quick walk to Jinggangshan Penang Hill Temple, the main component of the temple, which is a hall or pavilion with a standing Buddha image, is located next to it, on slightly higher ground. The entrance to the hall is marked by a large arch with the temple's name, Jinggangshan. As you ascend the stairwell towards the hall, you'll notice a great number of gilded pagodas, or stupas, lining the hill. Then finally we finished off the day at little India which is a vibrant neighbourhood with dozens of Indian clothes, jewellery, and street food shops and vendors.

Hi Jack the black sauce in your laksa is not soya sauce - it is actually prawn paste sauce. It brings the laksa to another level. About the fishes you saw, I share your concerns. Felt bad for those fishes - hope that someone has the common sense to release them into a river so they could live in their natural environment.
There is an express lane where you have to pay extra for the tram..
Welcome to malaysia! stay longer!
Haha I want to!
You’re right it’s disgusting how they kept the fish, we feel the same too
Nice video,Mate! But honestly 1 day is insufficient to see the best of Penang.Lol.
Might wanna chuck Penang Malaysia in the title 👍
Had it in the thumbnail, was trying to make the title short and sweet. But you have a point :) added now. Cheers
Mekong is the river that’s flows between Laos and Thailand and empties in the Mekong delta in Vietnam.
Yes Exactly! I new this I just didn't want to fill up the video with that info. haha but crazy that the fish came from there!!
@@JackTorr I figured you knew. You seem like a guy who does a lot of research on where you are going and have been.

Welcome to Malaysia m8. Please try street food like Ramly 🍔& nasi lemak. You also may visit Mekdi (Maccas) & feel kind of unique compared with other countries.
Thanks for the tips!

penang hill not cold at all but mount jerai on mainland not far from penang is cold around 15°C ...many foreigners tourist don't know about mount jerai... actually from penang island also can see mount jerai... there is a hotel on top of mount jerai... so rare foreigners tourist visit mount jerai... I think must be because they never know about it
Not much to offer for international tourist jst cold weather they come to seeking different from thier cold country they like hot weather eventhough they never immpress of tall buiding already norm to them so kedah goverment should think out of box how to change mount jerai from underarrated to be tourist attraction in future i was there several time just not far from my town kepala batas penang.
1.Laksa. the "black sauce" is Prawn Extract /Paste.
Yumm!
The bat cave temple was burned down on March 2022. Those fishes used to be kept in a pond inside the temple. Not sure if there are any cultural significance to those fishes though.
Yeah ok interesting!

The Bat Cave Temple was on fire that burnt everything in one or two years ago…that’s the reason you saw the charcoal statue…
