DAY 1

SEBERANG PERAI UTARA

Frog Hill

Start your day with a great dose of greenery at Frog Hill (also known as Bukit Katak). Dubbed as Penang’s answer to China’s well-known Jiuzhaigou. Frog Hill is a favourite spot for naturalists and avid shutterbugs, thanks to the dramatic turquoise-coloured pools. Prepare yourself for a chilly surprise when hiking up by daybreak – the hilltop can get quite misty early in the morning. Travel reminder: Frog Hill is a remote area, so visitors are advised to exercise extra precautions. No road signs point to this abandoned stone and clay quarry.

Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

History buffs should head over to the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Pagar Tras.

Today, the derelict edifice is a testament to the little known presence of the French in Penang.
