    The style of Hayao Miyazaki's paintings. You need to queue up for about two hours for the small train. You enter in batches and reach the top of the mountain. You can overlook the pier. There is a restaurant on the top of the mountain with beautiful prices. Drink some beer or coffee and enjoy the breeze. It is very comfortable. Hinduism, Islam, and Catholicism gather together in harmony.

    A must-visit in Penang, it has a very unique feel and is very photogenic. There are many shops run by Chinese people, and you can communicate in Chinese and simple English. It is very comfortable to find a coffee shop for a smoothie on a hot day. There is a good Hainanese chicken rice nearby, which is not expensive and tastes amazing.
