End your day on a high note at Penang Hill. Completed in 1923, the Penang Hill’s funicular railway is home to the world’s steepest tunnel track, measuring 258 feet with a steepness of 27.9 degrees. A favourite among travellers far and wide, visitors can admire George Town’s nightscape views while being surrounded by the hill’s 130-million-year-old ancient virgin rainforest. A quaint dinner at Penang Hill’s David Brown’s Restaurant and Tea Terraces is the perfect place to cap off the night.
