One of the most iconic spots in Melaka — those red colonial buildings are just stunning! Right across Jonker Street, it’s the perfect place for photos, a quick stroll, or even a fun trishaw ride. Tip: Go early or late afternoon — it gets really hot and crowded during the day. A must-visit if you want to feel Melaka’s old-world charm.

Lovely architecture when in the square. During the day it looks really nice, at night, there are lots of lights and vehicles which light up. Sometimes the vehicles can take up a lot of the square and you will be asked 100 times if you want a ride but aside from that it's a nice visit. Only takes around 15 minutes to look around

Pretty pretty place! It’s THE landmark of malacca, such an iconic and beautiful spot for photos 🥰. At night there will be tons of food stalls and you can eat to your heart’s content while watching live performances. Love coming here! 🥰❤️

One of the most beautiful attractions in the city! It's beautiful. It would be more peaceful without the noisy trishaws but some people love them🤷🏻‍♀️

🌍 A Walk Through Melaka’s Red Square If there’s one place in Melaka that every traveler ends up at, it’s the Red Square, also known as Dutch Square. Right in the heart of the city, this iconic spot glows with a unique charm – thanks to its terracotta red buildings that have become the face of Melaka’s old town. Stepping into the square feels like stepping into a living postcard. The Stadthuys, built in 1650, stands proudly as one of the oldest Dutch buildings in Asia. Once the governor’s office during the Dutch rule, today it serves as a museum, telling stories of Melaka’s colorful past. Beside it, the Christ Church, with its giant white cross, has watched over the square since 1753. Walk inside and you’ll find Dutch tombstones and a ceiling made entirely without nails – a true masterpiece of old craftsmanship. But Red Square isn’t just about the Dutch. The Queen Victoria Fountain, built by the British in 1904, splashes a refreshing reminder of Melaka’s later colonial chapter. And just a few steps away stands the Tan Beng Swee Clock Tower from 1886, a gift from a wealthy Chinese family – showing how cultures intertwined in this little town. Interestingly, the buildings weren’t always red. During the Dutch era, they were painted white. It was only under the British that the walls turned their famous terracotta shade, creating the “Red Square” we know today. Now, the square is alive with color and sound – trishaws decked in flowers and blasting pop songs, tourists snapping photos, and the scent of local snacks drifting in from nearby stalls. It’s a place where history and modern life meet in one vibrant frame. So, whether you come for the history, the Instagram-worthy shots, or simply to soak up the atmosphere, Red Square is Melaka’s timeless stage, where centuries of stories continue to echo. --- ✨ Fun Facts & Travel Tips 📸 Best photo spot: Capture the Christ Church with the clock tower in the same frame – best taken in the morning before the crowds. 🚲 Trishaw rides: A bit touristy, but fun! Each trishaw is decorated with cartoon themes and lights, and they’ll take you around the heritage zone. 🕰 History nugget: The Stadthuys is almost 400 years old – making it the oldest surviving Dutch building in Southeast Asia. 🌅 Best time to visit: Late afternoon or sunset – when the red walls glow warmly under the golden light. 🍦 Nearby snack: Try the local coconut shake or Nyonya kuih at the small stalls close to the square.

Beautiful view and architecture. Well designed surroundings, colourful flowers and fantastic shaped trees. It is a great place to visit European buildings and take photos

I visited during melacca celebrated mid autumn festival. Is full with activities and so happening. This is so great and I love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍 ro come back.

We went here for a culture and heritage. If you go to Malacca without visiting Jonker, then you are not really visiting Malacca. The market is quite long and have a lot of items available from foods, souvenirs and clothes. Beside hawker stall, few shops are also open. The vibe here is very nice, lot of people, crowded but it's good tho. Parking can be struggle around this area so make sure to plan your arrival well. From here you also can walk to others historical spots like afamosa, makam hang kasturi, museum, menara jam and stadhuys. Some items here are quite rare too. The view are also very nice, classic architecture and wonderful experience

Only active from Friday to Sunday, from morning until late night, but absolutely worth planning around. I had the pleasure of experiencing the place both during the day and at night, and it was incredible each time. It’s a wonderful place and a fantastic experience — an absolute must if you’re in Melaka. There’s so much to see, eat, drink, and shop. It’s a shopper’s paradise with unique goods, amazing food, and incredibly low prices. Overwhelming in the best way possible, with endless options and choices.

Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat, Melaka) Located in the heart of Melaka’s Chinatown, Malaysia Jonker Street, officially known as Jalan Hang Jebat, is the vibrant soul of Melaka’s Chinatown — a lively stretch famous for its night market, heritage shophouses, antique stores, cafés, and street food. Once home to wealthy Peranakan (Straits Chinese) families, the street’s architecture reflects centuries of cultural fusion — Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese, and British influences all intertwined in ornate façades and wooden shutters. By day, Jonker Street is a charming lane of antique dealers, art galleries, craft shops, and traditional bakeries, selling everything from vintage cameras and porcelain to pineapple tarts and handmade jewelry. When night falls, the entire street transforms into one of Malaysia’s most beloved night markets — buzzing with food stalls, music, and lights. Visitors can savour local favourites like chicken rice balls, cendol, Nyonya laksa, satay celup, and fried radish cake, while browsing through rows of souvenirs and handmade crafts. The air is filled with laughter, the aroma of grilled skewers, and the rhythm of buskers performing under lanterns. Beyond its food and fun, Jonker Street is also a living museum — a place where heritage, commerce, and community coexist. Nearby attractions include Cheng Hoon Teng Temple (Malaysia’s oldest Chinese temple), Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum, and Kampung Kling Mosque, all within walking distance. Today, Jonker Street remains the beating heart of Melaka’s old town — a symbol of multicultural Malaysia and a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience its historic charm, creative energy, and timeless street life.

Good for a night stroll after dinner. Can get dessrts and supper. Must try their ice blended mango from the stalls. There's also stinky tofu, and many more local treats. Even selling toys and souvenirs.

Jonker Street, officially known as Jalan Hang Jebat, sits at the heart of Malacca’s historic Chinatown a lively blend of heritage, culture, and chaos in the best possible way. By day, its narrow lanes reveal rows of centuries-old shophouses, once home to Peranakan merchants, now transformed into cafés, antique stores, and quirky boutiques. By night, Jonker Street transforms into a vibrant night market where the air fills with the scent of grilled satay, chicken rice balls, and the sweet smoke of coconut pancakes.

The best night market kn Saturday night. Full with food and merchandise items. Is a MUST visited venue. A busy night market showcase traditional and fusion street foods. Just spend a two hours slowly navigating this narrow street. I just ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ it.

An amazing place to visit especially during nights. A lots of vendors. You can enjoy the view, tricycle and many more. Its quite crowded during night but it is worth the walk.

Very well maintained heritage museum. The introduction was short and simple but enough to tell the do's and don't. Staircase to the second floor for further viewing is a bit steepzl, some may not like it. I don't recommend for children less than 4 years old. At least child is able to understand and don't run around. Photography is allow, BUT NO FLASH! QR codes to scan to learn more. There's also a souvenir shop just before you exit the house.

What a great museum! The personnel was very polite and helpful and the museum is very well kept. It wasn't very busy when we went and we could thoroughly enjoy the house. We particularly enjoyed the audio guide, which added a lot to the experience. There is even cold water available to fill up your water bottle.Highly recommended!

A well preserved house turned museum in Melaka!! The place is located in the heart of the Old Town and very accessible by car or foot. And, the museum is still owned and managed by the family. The museum offers a glimpse of Baba & Nyonya life back in the old days. You can follow their story by listening to the audio guide that you can access from your mobile. Each story is short yet packed with information. The ticket costs 25RM for foreigners.

Visited this place on a Saturday and it was packed with visitors, especially tourists from abroad. The house’s structure reminded me a lot of my grandfather’s home built in the 1900s, featuring many similar design details, including a hidden opening hole on the first floor that overlooks the main entrance downstairs. Entrance fee is RM 25 per adult. Overall, it’s a great spot to explore the rich customs and heritage of the Baba Nyonya community in Malaysia.

Beautiful and splendid museum exploring the local history of Peranakans in Malacca through the lens of a prominent Chan family. Adult tix costs only 25MYR and we spend a good 1h+ exploring the (surprisingly vast) museum and listening to the Audio guides. It was also a welcome reprieve from the heat!

Exploring the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum — a glimpse into the world of Peranakan heritage. So much beauty, history and culture preserved under one roof. Highly recommended to visit this museum in Malacca!

The Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum is a treasured cultural heritage site in Malacca's heart. It authentically recreates the lives of the Peranakan Chinese, a group that emerged from the long-term integration of early Chinese immigrants with the local Malaysian community. Formerly the century-old residence of the Zeng family, the museum was converted into a museum in 1985, to systematically preserve and display their unique architecture, furnishings, clothing, and everyday items. Guided tours offer insightful explanations of the social structure, religious beliefs, and customs of the Baba and Nyonya people, providing valuable insights into and understanding Malaysia's diverse cultural landscape.

Windy river. There are some cafes and restaurants beside the river where you can sit, enjoy your coffee and admire the scenery and feel the cool air. The water isn’t smelly so that’s a plus. The river cruise is an experience that you should go

Most historic river in Malaysia. Walk along the river to feel how the river has been shaped by history and it’s prominence in the past

The Malacca River is such a beautiful spot, especially in the evening. Walking along the riverside is relaxing with all the colorful lights, cafes, and murals that bring the area to life. It’s scenic during the day too, but at night it feels extra magical. Definitely one of the must-visit attractions in Malacca.

Sungai Melaka is a fun place to visit, especially for a river walk or boat ride. It can be very hot during the day, so bring water and a hat. The views are nice, with colorful buildings, street art, and cafes along the river. Best to go in the evening when it’s cooler and the lights come on. A relaxing and beautiful spot to enjoy in Melaka.

Have a lovely leisure walk along the Malacca River in the late afternoon. There are some souvenirs and beverage shop open. Clean and tidy pedestrian walkway with some awesome painted murals on the building wall.

I have visited Melaka a number of times. It was one of our family's vacation spots. The river was something I had never given much thought to until I watched the movie Entrapment a few years ago. My curiosity was piqued, and I paid a little more attention on the river's beauty this time. The river is most beautiful to behold in the evening when there are boats selling passes and night lights along the river. A shot stroll in the evening while taking in the scenery of some of the historical buildings along the river. Date visited: 8th January 2024

28 Dec 2022: Walk along the river bank, stop at a cafe or detour to Jonker Street or Dutch Square; this is a place you want to be…plenty of happening. 08 Dec 2019: Walk down the nostalgic heart of Malacca and reach out to many historical places. Take a stroll in the evening…the night scene is very colorful.

Limited parking within premises, so be there early. They open at 10 a.m. Tickets was RM 2 / adult. Beside the ticketing counter was a green screen backdrop for them to take your photo which will edited to the museum background, printed 1 large & 1 miniature sized for RM 60 as a souvenir, ready to collected when you leave. There were some decommissioned feet of planes, helicopters, armoured cars, artillery cannons, bikes, trains & monuments on display in the yard. Inside the gallery area is air conditioned with antique weapon of wars & historical narration on display. My first visit and is recommended place to visit.

Really impressed by the place! Entry at RM2 for adult. Limited parking, just park by the road side or opposite the place at near residence area. The place is interesting with indoor displays of gallery and an underground walk of the CPM communist party of Malayan history. Many showcase of the weapons, war machines like tanks, helicopter, even train. Spent more than an hour at this place. If really keen into the history I think you can have 2 or more hours here.

Here’s a concise 200‑character review: Free entry with RM 2 fee since Jan 1 2025. Outdoor tanks, helicopters, military gear, indoor galleries on Malaysian Army history, plus a recreated tunnel. A fun, educational hidden gem. 

Great place for learning, very under rated museum. They introduced and explanined alot about the ATM tha wasnt taught in history classes in school. Galleries were sectioned into few categories ranging from Melakan Sultanate, British and Dutch colonisation and also the Malayan troops. They also introduced the generals as well. Many weapons, artifacts, documents, tanks etc were showcased. It would be better if the poster had english explanations as i di see some foreign tourist struggling to understand without translation. Overrall recommended to visit esp with teene or young adults

Didn't know there is a Soldier Muzium here in PD. Was recommended by the locals. My kids get the chance to know more about the History of Malaysia and get the touch those gigantic artillery vehicles, antics weapons and feel the war times. Good place to learn.

Excellent museum and nicely maintained, except for the ladies toilet at the main building was no accessible on the day of our visit. All other toilets were also locked. Finally found the toilet at the auditorium which was very clean.

Really affordable ticket fees. A lot of things to see inside! There are armor vehicles, planes and guns! And also historical information. Very educational and eye opening. 👍 Only problem is not enough parking.

KLIA2 has been my go-to airport for both domestic and international flights, and every time I pass through, I’m reminded of how massive and modern this place is. The design is practical yet stylish, with wide walkways and plenty of natural light coming in, which makes the whole experience feel less stressful. One thing I really appreciate is the variety of shops, restaurants, and cafés. Whether you just want a quick coffee before boarding, a full meal, or even some last-minute shopping, you’ll definitely find something here. The duty-free section is huge, with a good selection of brands at competitive prices. I’ve even done some spontaneous shopping while waiting for my flight. The check-in and security process is generally smooth. Of course, during peak holiday periods, it can get crowded, but the staff usually handle the flow of people efficiently. I’ve noticed that self-check-in kiosks and baggage drop counters make things much faster compared to the old way. Another thing worth mentioning is the connection to public transport. KLIA2 is very well linked with the KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit trains, which get you to the city in under an hour. It’s so much more convenient than worrying about traffic. There’s also plenty of options for buses, taxis, and e-hailing services right outside. Walking distances inside the terminal can be long—so if you have heavy bags or are traveling with elderly family members, do prepare for that. But at the same time, the walk is lined with shops and eateries, so it doesn’t feel boring. Cleanliness is another strong point. The toilets are well-maintained, and the prayer rooms are spacious and comfortable. I’ve also found the signage inside the terminal to be clear and easy to follow, which is great for first-time travelers. Overall, KLIA2 gives a good impression of Malaysia to travelers coming in for the first time. It’s modern, organized, and has all the amenities you’d expect from a major international airport. Personally, I always feel a sense of excitement flying in and out of KLIA2—it’s more than just an airport; it feels like the start of a journey.

KLIA is a big and spacious airport with many facilities and clear signage. However, finding the eRide pickup point can be a bit confusing at first, especially for new visitors. Once you get familiar with the layout, everything else runs smoothly. Overall, a good experience in a large international airport.

KLIA2 is a modern and well-designed airport with plenty of facilities for travelers. The layout is spacious, clean, and easy to navigate, with clear signage guiding you from check-in to boarding. There’s a great variety of dining and shopping options — perfect for both quick bites and last-minute souvenirs. Immigration and security are generally efficient, though queues can get long during peak hours. The terminal’s connection to Gateway@KLIA2 adds extra convenience for food, rest, and shopping. Overall, a pleasant travel experience — comfortable, functional, and a solid 4-star airport for both local and international flights.

A smooth and straightforward experience at KLIA2. Security was a breeze – no queues at all and I was through in less than 5 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. The terminal is clean, well-organised, and easy to navigate, though don’t expect anything ultra-modern or luxurious. Airside, there’s not a huge variety of shops, but enough to pass the time. You’ll find the basics – a duty-free, a few chocolate and confectionery outlets, and some quick bites like Burger King and Kreate. Great if you’re after a snack or light meal before your flight. The terminal definitely focuses more on function than flair. One plus point is the amount of seating – plenty of space to relax near the gates without feeling crammed in. There’s also decent signage and helpful staff around if you need assistance. Ideal for budget airlines and quick getaways, KLIA2 isn’t flashy, but it’s efficient and gets you where you need to go without hassle.

A very long walk to get to the departure gate. While walking there are a lot of souvenirs, snacks, and brand name goods. Foods and drinks sell at reasonable prices.

KLIA2 is so badly designed without end consumers in mind. All if not regional airports in SEA provide charging stations which is for user’s convenience. Not KLIA2. They rather people use plug points for cleaners etc (that’s why you see people sitting on floors.) Also charging wall without any seat or table. Seriously what is wrong with you Malaysia Airports???? You keep ‘winning’ awards -but for what??? Awards don’t mean anything if you cannot get simple things right. I have to charge standing at empty counter which looks like an information desk/counter. Do your job right. You charge us passengers fees which is paid via the airline when we buy tickets. Do your part by providing proper professional service. Don’t just keep taking care of retailers.

I must say it's a beautiful place ke liye to disciples of restaurant video attractive foods try meaning of this foods we are right now in memang meow where we are having hot Kopi speciality of Malaysia nanyang cafe oriental coffee this places are must visit.

Wear full length covering, the shrubbery here is no joke. The new path is steep but safe, great hike to see the sunrise and feel the morning breeze flowing into the scenic Briga/Semenyih valley. Grab a refreshing coconut ice shake and a satisfying bowl of noodles right after your descent! (Thank me later ;)

🥾 The first peak of Broga Hill stands at approximately 400 meters (1,312 feet) above sea level and is the most popular photo spot, offering stunning panoramic views of lush greenery and misty morning skies — especially during sunrise. 🌾 Unlike most forested hills in Malaysia, the summit is uniquely covered in lalang grass (tall cogon grass) instead of dense trees, giving it a distinctive open and scenic look that draws hikers and Instagrammers alike

During after rainning stop we will mostly get cloud carpet.. this place is awesome to be with .n its free. No need to pay. Go the right exit. Dont go to the payment counter . As we not allowed there. N road are worse. Bypass the gate n fencing. Go straight n up

Superb experience for the beginners. Once u start. U will start looking another mountain to hike. The top panoramic view make u feel very free. Just below than 1hour u can reach at stage 1. That's I've go with 3years old kid.

Nice place and short drive from KL. A good weekend outing to get refresh yourself. I went on 25/12/2020 and in the entrance they placed a notice saying entry ie closed from June 2020 yet lot of people going in. So we followed them and roads a bit rusty as it closed for months. But had a nice experience. Go to hill foot by 5 to 5:30 AM and trek takes give Or take 60 mins so that you can have nice and fresh air and sun rise. There are multiple ways lead to hill top and if you are trek enthusiast then there is a path where you need to a moderate climb(assisting ropes are available) Things to carry, torch/head light. Water(mostly they sell if hill is open for visitors but for us No as such as its closed for CMCO), and limited car parking. I heard that Usually they charge RM 1 + RM 1 but today we were charged us RM 10/pax by saying CMCO & SOP practicing. So prepare for that extra payment if you are planning in CMO time. And its definitely not a family outing place so avoid kids, elderly, who has issues with heart or knees issues and who don't appreciate the beauty of Nature. Attached some photos to convince you that, must visit one before you get 40. 😉

Broga hill located at semenyih. During rmco need to pay rm1 per person for parking, rm1 per person for entrance fee. Need to scan temperature and write down detail before hiking. Weekends more people will go hiking, but we are lucky because we hike during weekday, and less people on weekdays. Some part not easy to hike, need to use rope to climb, we only manage to go until 2nd peak, no more stamina to go 3rd peak, maybe during mco we rest too much, so a bit lack of breath and stamina when we go hiking. Bring sufficient water to dehydrated yourself.

Going up was alot easier than coming down. Good place to hike, not when it's raining tho. Some dogs are up on the second level but they're very tame and polite, perhaps bring along some food for them if anyone wants to hike up there's.

It’s a nice short stop to take a breather and snap some pictures. During public holidays, cars tend to park along the first lane, so be cautious, especially if you’re not familiar with the Putrajaya area. Underneath the bridge, there’s a beautiful view and a park where you can walk, jog, or cycle. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a great view of the fireworks.

Seri Wawasan Bridge is beautiful in night . Really really quiet & peaceful in night. You can enjoy with your friends. Putrajaya has really beautiful night places.

A very beautiful bridge. Since we took the train to Putrajaya, we could walk slowly and enjoy it. We even walked far away to take a complete picture of the bridge. We can also see the floating mosque in the distance on the bridge, which is great for taking photos👍.

Beautiful spot, especially at night! You can walk or rent a bicycle from the bottom of the bridge at Ayer@8, there are plenty of options available. It’s a great place to move around and enjoy the views around the lake. Peaceful atmosphere and perfect for a relaxing evening.

The bridge has a very beautiful modern architecture, from here looking at the Islamic temple take beautiful photos

Overlooking Putrajaya Lake, it offers stunning views, especially at night when beautifully lit, making it a favorite spot for photography and evening walks. Night walk also possible but dark. Can double park at bridge

This bridge is nice to look at. Great sail architecture

Entry is free. Robes given free for all visitors and non-muslims. Polite and helpful. Beautiful Pink mosque. Allowed to enter in a small restricted area to see the mosque interior. We took a walk around the mosque and view was beautiful. Must visit if you are in KL or near Putrajaya.

Visited the Pink Mosque (Putra Mosque) in Putrajaya and it honestly took my breath away! The place is huge and beautifully designed — the interior is spacious, peaceful, and filled with stunning Islamic architecture. The soft pink domes and intricate patterns make it one of the most unique and elegant mosques I’ve ever seen. The maintenance and cleanliness are excellent, everything feels very well cared for and organized. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially in guiding visitors on proper etiquette. For ladies, robes are provided at the entrance to ensure respectful attire before entering — it’s a nice touch and makes the experience inclusive for everyone. The atmosphere is calm and serene, perfect for quiet reflection or just appreciating the beauty of the design. The soft pink tones and impressive structure really make it stand out as a landmark mosque in Malaysia. Definitely a must-visit spot in Putrajaya — whether you’re there to pray, sightsee, or simply admire the architecture, it’s an unforgettable experience!

This is popular Putra Mosque, located at the heart of Putrajaya, stands as one of Malaysia’s most iconic landmarks. Renowned for its stunning and unique architecture, the mosque beautifully blends modern Islamic design elements with Persian and Malay influences. The soft pink hue of its main dome and the intricate carvings along its walls make Putra Mosque one of the most beautiful mosques in the region. The main prayer halls are exceptionally spacious, accommodating a large number of male and female worshippers at the same time. Each area is equipped with air conditioning, ensuring maximum comfort for congregational prayers and major religious events.

Rising majestically from the shores of the serene Putrajaya Lake, Masjid Putra stands as a breathtaking symbol of Malaysia’s Islamic faith and architectural ambition. More than just a place of worship, this magnificent pink-domed mosque is a cornerstone of tourism in the nation's intelligent garden city, offering visitors a profound experience of peace, beauty, and cultural grandeur. Its strategic location adjacent to the Prime Minister’s office complex and the striking Putra Perdana precinct underscores its central role in the modern identity of Malaysia. The mosque’s design is a masterful blend of traditional and modern influences, primarily drawing inspiration from Persian and Mughal architectural styles. The most striking feature is its immense rose-tinted granite dome, the colour symbolising serenity and creating a warm, welcoming glow, especially at sunset. Flanking this central dome is a 116-meter-high minaret, one of the tallest in the region, whose design echoes the minaret of the Sheikh Omar mosque in Baghdad. The main prayer hall is equally impressive, adorned with intricate calligraphy and geometric patterns, and capable of accommodating over 15,000 worshippers. For tourists, a visit to Masjid Putra is a multi-sensory journey. The sheer scale of the structure is awe-inspiring from the outside, but the true tranquillity is found within its courtyards and by its reflective pools. Non-Muslim visitors are welcomed outside of prayer times and provided with modest attire to ensure respectful entry. The interior offers a cool, quiet sanctuary, where the play of light through stained-glass windows illuminates the rich carpets and detailed craftsmanship. Many choose to take an angkasawan (a small boat) onto the lake to capture the perfect photograph of the mosque’s stunning reflection on the water’s surface. A trip to Putrajaya is incomplete without witnessing Masjid Putra. It is not merely a photo opportunity but an invitation to appreciate Malaysian culture and spirituality. Whether admiring its Persian-inspired façade, enjoying the calm of its surroundings, or simply marvelling at its harmonious integration with the lake and cityscape, the mosque leaves an indelible impression of grace and majesty, making it an unmissable highlight for any visitor to Malaysia.

My visit to Masjid Putra in Putrajaya was absolutely amazing and truly memorable. The mosque’s pink granite architecture is breathtaking, and its location beside the beautiful Putrajaya Lake makes it one of the most picturesque places in Malaysia. The moment you step inside, you feel a deep sense of peace and spirituality. The interior design, with its intricate Islamic patterns and calm lighting, reflects elegance and devotion. The mosque is very well maintained, clean, and organized. The staff and volunteers are friendly and respectful, always ready to guide visitors and ensure modest attire. It’s not only a place of worship but also a symbol of Malaysia’s rich Islamic culture. Watching the sunset from the mosque courtyard was a magical experience that I will never forget. Definitely a must-visit for anyone coming to Malaysia.

Putra Mosque, located at the heart of Putrajaya, stands as one of Malaysia’s most iconic landmarks. Renowned for its stunning and unique architecture, the mosque beautifully blends modern Islamic design elements with Persian and Malay influences. The soft pink hue of its main dome and the intricate carvings along its walls make Putra Mosque one of the most beautiful mosques in the region. The main prayer halls are exceptionally spacious, accommodating a large number of male and female worshippers at the same time. Each area is equipped with air conditioning, ensuring maximum comfort for congregational prayers and major religious events. Although parking facilities are somewhat limited, the surrounding area offers various amenities such as food stalls, souvenir shops, and local handicraft stores, enhancing the overall visitor experience. Putra Mosque is open to visitors from both local and international communities. However, all guests are required to dress modestly and cover their aurah (body parts that should be covered in Islam), regardless of gender, as a sign of respect for the sacred space. One of the mosque’s main highlights is the breathtaking panoramic view of Putrajaya. From its open courtyard and verandah, visitors can enjoy the serene scenery of Putrajaya Lake and the city’s well-planned architectural landscape — a truly peaceful and picturesque experience.

A truly beautiful mosque with its stunning pink interior, they even provide matching pink mukenah for prayers, which I found really thoughtful. The mosque is well organized, with a designated area for Muslims to pray and a separate section for visitors that shares insightful information about Islam. When I visited, the atmosphere felt calm and respectful. I also appreciated how respectful the non Muslim tourists were, wearing the covering robes provided as a sign of courtesy while inside the mosque.

A beautiful park right in front of the Petronas Towers .it’s incredible to see a fountain show set against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers in the heart of the city. The park is super well-maintained, easy to access, and has plenty of spots to sit and relax. Grabbing a coffee from Suria Mall and watching the fountain show here was the perfect way to unwind and refresh.

Definitely worth your time to walk around the park. Take lots of pictures of the plants and trees. Water fountain display turned on about mid afternoon and was pretty good. Large park for children and wading pool. Amazing sitting in the middle of gigantic buildings and feeling comfortable. Enjoyed a couple of beers, sitting down and people watching.

An awesome, really well-kept park—super green and full of trees. There are plenty of benches where you can sit and relax. It’s the perfect spot to just hang out. And if you’re into running, there’s a jogging track laid out all around, which I’m pretty sure was designed just for that. It’s also a great spot to catch a different view of the Petronas Towers. If you’re bringing kids along, there’s a splash park where they can have tons of fun, plus a playground to keep them entertained.

Very beautiful park in the middle city of Kuala Lumpur. Especially when you come to this downtown park on a sweltering afternoon. The clear fountain lake winds through the lush tropical greenery, bringing a sense of coolness and calm. Whether you sit down for a short rest or take a leisurely stroll, the whole place feels wonderfully comfortable.

202511 Always love visiting this park right smack in the middle of the “concrete jungle”. Love the mangroves and flora. Love the water park and fountain, and the nightly water show. Very well kept strolling, running and seating areas.

Green atmosphere, green air, freshing. They also operate a running show here the day I’ve came. Very comfortable while you step your foot in here. Great view, huge campus

The playground at KLCC Park is one of the best in Kuala Lumpur! It’s huge, well-maintained, and filled with a wide variety of play equipment like slides, swings, climbing structures, and bridges. Right next to it, there’s also a wading pool where kids can splash around safely, which makes it even more fun. The area is surrounded by trees, so it feels shady and cool even during the day. Parents can sit on benches around the playground while keeping an eye on their kids. What’s even better—it’s completely free! This is a perfect spot for families visiting KLCC, especially if you want your kids to play and burn some energy after exploring the city. Highly recommended for both locals and tourists with children.

Visited this place recently and I must say I found this building quite charming compared to other high towers. We went during twilight and could see the sound and light show as well. People were very well organised and there is a lot of place to sit around too. Loved the vibes of this place and could be amazing to spend the evening here.

Petronas twin towers, more commonly known as the twin towers, is one of the most iconic landmarks in the whole of Malaysia. This architectural masterpiece is truly stunning, mesmerizing, breath taking. It's extremely beautiful, and is massively tall. It almost feels like the top of the tower fades away into the sky. The twin towers used to be the tallest building in Malaysia, but the less known Merdeka 108 is actually taller. Regardless, no one can deny the twin towers beauty. It is the first place we visited after arriving in Malaysia, and we truly had a whale of a time here. I've never seen anything like this in any of rhe other places I've visited in the past. The inside of the twin towers is paid. But the Suria KLCC mall in the first few floors, in the base of the towers are free. We find visit there, the prices are a bit astronomical for my taste. However, for the wealthy travellers, almost every luxury/high end brand we couldn't afford is here! One interesting I must note is the toilets in the ground floor are 2RM (rather expensive) to use. But if you go to the second floor, (or first perhaps), the toilets are free. So save yourself and your family 2RM and go to the second floor and use the toilet for free. It's not that nice though, most other malls had nicer toilets. Regardless, toilets aside, this is truly one of the best views I've ever seen.

The Petronas Twin Towers are not just the tallest twin towers in the world, they’re the glittering heart of modern KL. By day or night, they’re a jaw-dropping sight, especially when lit up against the city skyline. Start your visit inside Suria KLCC at the base of the towers—a huge and elegant shopping mall with everything from high-end luxury brands to local favourites. You’ll also find an excellent mix of restaurants, food courts, and cafes—perfect for everything from a quick bite to a fancy dinner. But don’t stop there—take a stroll through KLCC Park behind the towers. It’s beautifully landscaped with fountains, shaded paths, and a huge man-made lake. You’ll get amazing photos from different angles of the towers, especially during golden hour or when the towers light up at night. There’s even a free light and fountain show every evening! Fun fact: The towers were once the tallest buildings in the world (1998–2004) and still hold the record for tallest twin towers globally. They stand at 452 metres and are joined by the famous Skybridge on levels 41 and 42—which you can actually visit! If you’re in KL, this place is an absolute must—whether for shopping, dining, photography, or just soaking in the vibe of one of Southeast Asia’s most iconic landmarks.

The Petronas Twin Towers are truly magnificent, an architectural marvel that leaves you in awe the moment you lay eyes on them. It’s almost unbelievable that such a masterpiece was conceived and constructed nearly four decades ago. The design is both futuristic and timeless, perfectly blending modern engineering with Malaysian cultural elements. Whether you’re admiring them from the ground, walking the skybridge, or standing at the observation deck, the Petronas Towers offer a perspective that reminds you of human creativity and ambition at its finest. A must-visit landmark that truly defines Kuala Lumpur’s skyline.

Amazing experience!🤩 I absolutely loved the night view — the KLCC Twin Towers look breathtaking when they light up after dark. The atmosphere is calm, the surroundings are vibrant, and the whole place feels magical. • Tickets not really recommended 🎫— you can enjoy most of the beauty from outside. • Easily accessible via KLCC Metro Station 🚇, just a short walk away. • Don’t miss the water fountain show 🌊— it usually happens between 8 PM to 9 PM, and it’s stunning to watch at night. A must-visit spot in Kuala Lumpur, especially at night!

The Petronas Twin Towers are impressive from every angle, and during my visit they were lit in bright Diwali colours - an Indian celebration marking the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil. It made the night view especially striking. The skybridge and observation deck are worth the ticket cost, offering clear, expansive views of the city. The architecture carries real meaning too: the towers are based on an eight-pointed Islamic geometric pattern, reflecting Malaysia’s Muslim heritage, and their 1990s construction involved unusually deep foundations and high-strength concrete. Also worth mentioning the beautiful intergration and coexistence of cultures and ethnicities alongside each other that becomes clear as soon as you enter Malaysia. Chinese, Malaysian and Indian ethnicities can be observed having very minimal segregation and it’s amazing to see just how much they embrace one another’s culture and allow time and space for all to celebrate their religious traditions. I’m only dropping one star because of the people at the intersection out front who aggressively try to sell photo services. It slightly disrupts an otherwise excellent visit.

Nice tourist place to visit. The people working there were friendly and helpful. The tour conducted was very orderly and well-planned. We enjoyed the Malaysian dance at the end of the tour. Thank you.

IT's one of the most iconic landmarks in Kuala Lumpur and an absolute must-visit for anyone visiting the city. Standing above the skyline, offers 360° panoramic views across the entire city and beyond. The structure itself is Impressive and offers the best views - reccomend to visit at sunset! The interior is not that impressive but offers some history , a sweets shop and some souvenir shops. For those seeking a bit more adventure and not afraid of heights, the Sky Deck and Sky Box are the place. Couple of extra floors up. Stepping into the glass box suspended high above the ground gives an adrenaline rush while also giving the opportunity for some incredible photos. Overall a great place to visit. Unfortunately, to get back downstairs was a nightmare as they had just 1 lift working so we wasted about 30 min of our lives there queueing to get out. Would have appreciated some more attention to this detail and maybe a small cafe to kill that waiting time. With love, K @iam.krisztina

Beautiful view Top. Best if u visit during 🌅 sunsets. Plus the night view is also stunning I liked the sky deck view as we can sit there and enjoy your time staring at whole kuala lumpur. Must visit place better then twin tower view from top. Check my vlog on youtube @travelfeelss Batu caves and kl tower for tour of this beautiful tower.

I got the combo ticket that included both the Sky Terrace and the Observation Deck at KL Tower. After enjoying the open-air breeze and the stunning, wide-open city view from the Sky Terrace, I honestly regretted getting the combo. the Sky Terrace alone was more than enough! The view of Kuala Lumpur from up there was absolutely breathtaking.

Also known as the KL tower, this telecom structure has a 360 degree viewing platform. Views in all directions are clear and very interesting. There are far more parks and woodlands in KL than ground level exploring reveals. The city is almost surrounded by beautiful wooded mountains.

World’s seventh tallest observation tower, built in the heart of the Kuala Lumpur city. It provided a 360 degree view of the city. Visitors can overlook the famous patrons towers, financial tower among other attractions. The tower is more than 100 meters tall and the elevator takes around a minute to reach. They’ve three floors, glass covered deck, outdoor deck and glass bottom box. You’d encounter buildings covered in clouds during rainy days. There’s a shuttle bus taking visitors from the entrance gate to the tower base. The tickets are available at counter available for purchase with either card or digital payment, no cash payment allowed as they’re now cashless. However, you can grab it at a discount of 10 RM if you buy online one day in advance. There’s a couple of food options at the base and an open lawn for you to relax. The hop on hop off bus stop is right outside the lawn and taxi pick service is available too.

Visited the observation deck and the revolving restaurant for high tea. The view of the city and the hills was good before a thunderstorm rolled in and everything just turned white. Being inside a storm was awesome, the tall building was a lightening conductor and I saw it get struck several times. Highly recommend!

KL Tower is one of the best spots to experience breathtaking 360° views of Kuala Lumpur. The observation deck and Sky Deck offer stunning sights, especially at sunset or night. The glass sky box is a thrilling highlight! The tower is well-maintained, and staff are friendly and helpful. Surrounded by nature and cultural attractions, it’s a perfect mix of city views and local charm. A must-visit landmark for every traveler to Malaysia.

It's one of the world biggest aviary as per their claim. Having a good variety of species. Flamingos and peacocks are the major attractions. Nothing like a magnificent spot that you should not miss. If you are visiting KL with Kids you can consider spending 1 hour here. It is difficult to walk through the park during summer in KL due to extreme hot weather.

We visited the bird park on a weekend and encountered very moderate crowds. The park is spacious enough to accommodate a lot of visitors, so I’d come back on a weekend as well. Please note that you’re not allowed to bring food into the park. Anything larger than a small bag pack may trigger a conversation with the security guard at the entrance gate as well. After a brief discussion, we were asked to bring the water we just bought at the kiosk at the entrance into the park. Please note that these restrictions are in place to protect the wildlife in the park. In the past, too many morons have fed them things that made birds severely sick or even killed them. The park is very well walkable with a stroller, with a few steps that may force you to take a detour. Please note that there are inclines, though. So if you’re pushing a wheelchair better have a good breakfast… The bird show at 10:30 am and 15:00 pm is worth watching. Very entertaining, not too long, and with some nice tricks to be shown. There are other events scheduled every day, so please check their latest event time table to not miss out on interesting events.

My mum and I are visiting from Australia, and since she absolutely loves birds, I had to bring her to KL Bird Park and we’re so glad we came! We both loved it. It was quite a hot day during our visit, and there isn’t much shade around, so we took a few breaks to sit down and rest, but that didn’t take away from the experience. There are so many incredible birds to see here, you could easily spend around 3 hours exploring. You can watch my POV experience video below, see @bhav.xo for more Our favourite part was definitely the parrot area! We both dressed in bright, colourful outfits, which I highly recommend doing, it makes the experience even more fun when the parrots fly over to you. Feeding them was such a highlight; they sit on your arms, shoulders, and even your head! It’s completely safe, and their claws didn’t damage our clothes at all. The entire park is very clean and well-maintained, and the staff were all so kind and welcoming. It also wasn’t as crowded as I expected, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I honestly wish more people would visit, it’s such a beautiful, peaceful, and interactive place to connect with nature. Overall, KL Bird Park is a must-visit in Kuala Lumpur, especially if you love animals or want a unique, wholesome experience to share with family.

Visiting Birb Park feels like stepping into a living orchestra of birds. As soon as i enter, i’re greeted by the sound of soft coos, bright tweets, and the occasional squawk from a bold parrot. The park’s paths wind through shaded trees and open ponds, where ducks glide lazily across the water and tiny finches dart between branches. People stroll quietly, some with cameras, others just sitting on benches watching the “birds” go about their day. There’s a sense of calm connection — a reminder that nature’s beauty is often small, fast-moving, and full of personality.

Had a 3 hours visiting the bird park. It is very spacious and has a big open area for most birds like pheasants, doves and pidgeons. There are little shops for refreshment within the park and clean toilets. It’s only 4 stars since some of the cages for certain birds are really small and in my opinion not really big enough or fit for the birds living in them. Also there was an eagle but it was bound to a pole and basically couldn’t move or fly at all which is quite sad.

Excellent visit. Good for both children and elders... Over 3000 varities of birds are there as per their information. We can see plenty of Peacocks walking around freely, sometimes near us. Please play safely and keep the area and environment clean.

Very well put together place with am absolute ton of different bird species. Definitely birds I never knew even existed were on display. You can spend a good deal of time here and not get tired of it. If you are even remotely a fan of birds then this is your place.

A very beautiful and airy place on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur city. The base of these caves is a famous Hindu temple with a historical significance. There’re coffee shops and food joints for visitors to savour before and after visiting the place. There’re two temples on both sides of the compound and more than 100 colourful stairs to the cave entrance. The caves are very old but maintained nicely. There’re small temples in the caves as well. Ample parking space for the place and a very relaxing yet enjoyable scenery from the place. The brass golden statue of the lord is the biggest attraction point of this spot.

Unfortunately the Murugan statue is under restoration work and wrapped up in scaffolding, but still the vibe at this beautiful temple complex around and inside if the impressive Batu cave is worth the visit. Goosebump feeling when slowly ascending on the steep stairs, feeling like back in India. Fantastic. Breathtaking when entering the cave at first and stunned by this huge dimensions.

Visited Batu Caves during my trip to Malaysia, and it was an absolutely fascinating experience that beautifully blends nature, culture, and spirituality. The iconic golden statue of Lord Murugan standing tall at the entrance is truly awe-inspiring and sets the tone for the entire visit. The steep flight of colorful steps leading up to the main cave temple is both challenging and rewarding, offering breathtaking views of the surroundings as you climb. Each step feels like a journey through devotion and history. Inside the main cave, the vast limestone formations combined with the serenity of the temple create a sacred and peaceful atmosphere. The area is well-maintained with proper amenities, and even though there are monkeys around, the management ensures cleanliness and visitor safety. The nearby smaller caves and art galleries further add depth to the cultural experience, showcasing the roots of Hindu traditions in Malaysia. The staff and devotees are kind and respectful, always willing to guide visitors. It’s easily accessible by train or taxi from Kuala Lumpur, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. Batu Caves is not just a tourist attraction—it’s a spiritual landmark that leaves you with a sense of calm, admiration, and deep cultural appreciation.

Beautiful by day, but extremely hot especially when you have to walk up the several million steps. Gorgeous by night, especially when the crowds have died down after 8pm, the temples start wrapping up and shut at 9, but the area stays open to take pictures till 10pm. Word of warning though, Grab cars can only be booked to the Exit 3 (in the back?), but that exit closes then the temples do, so it's better to head out of the main exit before booking yourself a Grab out - the signage does a terrible job of communicating this.

Batu Caves is undoubtedly one of Malaysia’s most iconic cultural and religious landmarks, and our visit to this impressive site was both fascinating and insightful. Located just outside Kuala Lumpur, the attraction is easily accessible and offers a blend of spirituality, history, nature, and adventure. Although our experience was overall positive, there were a few aspects—particularly the maintenance work on the Lord Murugan statue—that slightly affected the visit. Upon arriving, the sheer size and beauty of the Batu Caves complex immediately stood out. The long flight of 272 colorful steps leading to the main Temple Cave is a defining feature and provides a vibrant welcome. The steps themselves are beautifully painted and make for an eye-catching view, especially when combined with the energetic presence of monkeys and the constant movement of visitors. Climbing them was a mix of fun and challenge, but definitely manageable with short breaks and hydration.

Entry is free. Before you enter itself, You see Lord Kartikeya standing tall and One has to climb 272 steps to reach the top where the Sanctum sanctorum of the God is there. The first level upstairs has set of small temples and we can get offerings to provide. Then there is one more level. Even though it can get hot downstairs, It feels cool once you enter upstairs inside the cave. Beautiful and amazing temple. Monkeys are a menace. Don't keep anything in hand while climbing up esp food. Must visit if you are in KL.

Clean, spacious and colorful; with newly built souvenir shops and spacious parking lot inside...surprisingly the parking fee for car is very cheap, just rm3 per entry. And theres no entrance fee for individual. But u need to wear proper clothing, otherwise need to wear covered skirt for a fee.. Recommended to bring small fan, drinks, and hat. Its streinuous trek up the stair, but then theres cute monkeys to look at and u will be greeted with cool breeze and big cave when reaching the top. Definitely one of the recommended activity to do

Such a peaceful and breathtaking spot in Genting Highlands! 🌿✨ The temple is surrounded by misty mountains, giving it a magical and calming atmosphere. The view from here is absolutely stunning, and every corner feels sacred and serene. Perfect place to take photos, relax, and reflect before heading up to the top of Genting. Don’t miss the pagoda and the giant Buddha statue — truly beautiful! 🙏💛

A must-visit gem in Genting Highlands! Chin Swee Caves Temple is one of the most peaceful and scenic spots in the highlands. The temple sits high up the mountain, surrounded by mist and lush greenery, giving it a calm and spiritual atmosphere. The traditional Chinese architecture, colorful pagoda, and intricate statues are absolutely beautiful — perfect for photos and reflection. Entry is free, and you can easily reach the temple via the Awana SkyWay cable car, which stops right at the temple level. There’s a small café and a few stalls nearby, but the main attraction is the view — especially when the clouds clear and you can see the valleys below. Do wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket, as it can get quite chilly and there are several stairs to climb. It’s a wonderful place for both tourists and those seeking a quiet moment of peace. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Genting!

This place is very scenic. We visited the place after getting down from the cable car in between. Since they have escalators to go this place it was very convenient. Beautiful surrounding. You have limited options of snacks and ice creams in case you want to try one. Overall a wonderful experience and you can visit this place for free in case you are travelling on the cable car to Genting.

A peaceful and serene retreat above the clouds - the atmosphere is calm with a magnificent open floor overlooking a grand Buddha statue that inspires quiet reflection. The temple’s intricate architecture and scenic mountain backdrop make it a perfect spot to unwind and take in the beauty of nature. There are also convenient kiosks and probably a small restaurant nearby.

Must visit. Very Cool temple with an authentic vibe. On the way to genting highlands. Some guides may discourage telling that the return cable cars may be full. But it is possible to get seats. We had to wait only 5-10 mins to get a cable car with enough seating on the return trip. Try to visit in evening so that you get the cool breeze. Lots of cool pathways to explore on the mountain side, as part of the journey to enlightemnment walkway. Highly photogenic areas. Breathtaking views.

One of the most peaceful and beautiful places in Malaysia! I’ve visited Chin Swee Caves Temple many times — the drive up is always amazing, with cool weather and stunning mountain views. The temple is calm, spiritual, and surrounded by breathtaking scenery. A perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful vibes above the clouds. 🌿🏯☁️

This is such a beautiful and peaceful place surrounded by nature—perfect for a relaxing escape from the busy city. The atmosphere is calm and refreshing, especially with the cool mountain air. There are a few small shops around where you can grab a hot drink, which feels amazing in the chilly weather. The temple itself is well-maintained, always clean, and you can see that regular repairs and care are done to preserve its beauty and spiritual atmosphere. Whether you're coming for the cultural experience, the scenery, or just to take a peaceful walk, this place is definitely worth visiting. Without a doubt, if I return to Malaysia again as a tourist, this will be one of the top places on my list to visit. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys nature, culture, and a calm spiritual vibe.

We visited here on the way back to penang from KL. It was RM60 per boat for 4 people but they let us have 5 people cuz we're a family. It was nice and cold but scary even tho nothing bad happened. I wouldn't recommend for kids and senior but maybe calm adults. The fireflies were kinda small because it just rained that time. They let u on a boat, go to a bush about 500m away to see the fireflies in the water. The boat was paddling boat not engine. They provide you life jackets incase of emergency. It was scary at first but it became ok Scary cuz it was only available at night and the water was dark. Luckily it was a moon night , butthe boat driver say moon night worse cuz harder to see the fireflies

The best place in town to see fireflies! An incredible experience! They take you quietly down the river in a small boat (maximum four people) which makes the experience much more environmentally friendly. We recommend it and would definitely repeat! Much better than any other crowded tour!

Good experience for the family members to watch the fireflies. Very enjoyable sampan cruise along the river. The staff are friendly and courteous to the visitors. Safety jackets are compulsory to be worn during the cruise.

I love this unique experience, so quite so peace rolling the boat on the stream while witnessing the firefly, river, mangrove, night sky and trees. Highly recommend to you that looking for unique experiences. My boy love it too!

I loved this special experience—the night sky, the gentle breeze, and the twinkling fireflies. It was so quiet and peaceful, with only the faint sound of the oars in the water.

Magical experience. The whole process was dark and quite, it's where serenity comes in. - Counter opens at 7.30pm - 10.30pm - 1 sampan could fit 4 persons and costs RM 60 - Can walk-in, no pre-book needed - Payment by cash at the counter or Visa MasterCard at the kiosk - Lifejacket provided

Took 'sampan' for a short tour to see fire flies. Max. 4 pax per boat. Very good tour guide to explain about the type of Fireflies, history, etc. But really nearby the jetty only. Unfortunately, not many Fireflies. A bit disappointed.

Absolutely stunning! Loved every minute of our family's 2 hours at Bharat.. the views, the walk... and the tea of course! (Ginger was my favourite!) I would absolutely recommend walking up the hill to the giant letters, but then continuing along the smaller path around the back that takes you to a quieter area of the plantation. It was idyllic. That is, apart from the ATV quad bikes that tear along the route every so often.. what a shame the plantation feels it needs to invest in such an environmentally terrible form of entertainment for guests 😞 (The 5 star review remains though despite this let down!)

Visit on first November Mind blowing atmosphere and view. Greenery everywhere . Beautiful place to visit with family. Small cafes for tea , coffee and snacks. Benches placed so if you’re tired can sit and rest , park for kids , squad bikes , buggy rides Peace full place . Nice place for photography . Tickets 4 RM for adults (by walk) 20 RM for adults (buggy) Free tea pack for each ticket.

Entrance fee is RM4 per adult (walk-in), and RM20 if you opt for the buggy ride. The café isn’t as polished as the Boh Tea Centre, but it still offers decent options, a variety of teas, pau, cakes, ice cream, and puffs. The walking path is fairly steep, though there are plenty of benches to rest along the way. Parking on weekends can be tricky; you should leave your car along the roadside.

Such a great place with soothing vibe and serene environment located at Cameron Highland in the district Pahang.You may visit this beautiful place with your friends and family.You may purchase different tea pack from here. Recommended to visit this place.

Bharat Tea Plantation is a wonderful place where you can enjoy a real view of the lush tea plantations right from the window with a cup of masala tea on the table, of course! Haha, truly a great place to relax and take in the beauty of nature.

Mmm nothing special. Too many flies. To me, quite expensive to get in and buggy ride if you choose walking ok but u will be very tired. I think just taking photos outside the parking road is enough.

Weekdays are better to visit Cameron Highland. Weekends will be jam-packed with people & vehicles. For RM4 (on foot) it was worth it to explore the tea plantation

Parking is free but limited. The entrance fee is RM10 for Malaysian, and RM30 for foreigners. The trail is an easy walk with a wooden staircase and walkway, and the view from the top is beautiful. We went without a guide, so we didn't get to learn about the history of forest and plants. Be prepared for the cold temperatures and note that there are no toilets available.

-Trail lasted about 15 to 30 minutes -Its a Forest so there is lots of nature around and especially lots of moss trees, when we reached the viewing tower view was breathtaking I've attached a picture of the view -I thoroughly enjoyed the nature walk; it was a pleasant experience and is highly recommended. Please note we went when it was not raining and early morning so if you go when it's raining the steps may be slippery so be careful also I wore shorts I was cold initially but when start walking it's okay 👍 Also you need to buy tickets online

Lovely place! No need for a sunny weather, being inside the clouds makes it even more magical :) No mosquito but a bit chilly so take a jacket or sweater. Entrance fee is 30RM/person, trail is very easy, around 30min. You need a 4WD to go up there and down (30-45min each way) so I recommend to book your transport in advance (private driver or book a tour) because you probably won’t find a Grab to take you and walking there is not really possible (road with no sidewalk on several km).

Well, if this place happens to be on your hiking or walking trail, then yes, do visit it. ​The idea of driving to this place, especially after four hours in traffic, is baffling. It is perhaps 100 meters of crowded boardwalk, and while the moss is there, it is not overwhelming. I saw comparable moss on my hiking trails (10, 6, 12).

Compare to sunny weather and raining foggy weather, I prefer the rainy one. You’re literally in the cloud, everything looks so magical. I’m so obsessed with the view. Even though you can’t see anything far away, the view surrounds you and it’s already made you amazed. I hope heaven looks like this. If you think it’s about to rain, you better bring your own raincoat, but if you don’t, you need to pay RM5 for their disposable raincoat.

Had been wanting to come here ever since I saw a poster many years back. Except I had wanted to hike here- I was quite surprised to find out that the trail is a bunch of wooden steps. Had fun walking about and clicking pics at every corner. The ticket price is rather high though - 30rm per person for foreigners regardless of whether you have an iKad or not.

Stunning view on the top and the trail n.1 which brings you here It's gonna leave you breathless. Just pay attention to the tickets, if you reach the top of the mossy forest with a rented scooter few guys in the parking lot will take pictures of your plate and instantly send that to the policeman nearby. Just leave the scooter at the bottom of the main road or at the beginning of the trail.

Had an absolutely awesome time here. We only did the dry walk yet it was totally worth the trip. You don't need to book in advance. The entire walk way to platform 5 was well posted with cement. There are quite a lot of stairway so if you are not so for then not advisable to take tour 2. The toilets are well equipped with shower facilities and i must say it is one of cleanest public toilets I've seen.

Visiting Gua Tempurung was such an adventurous and memorable experience. The cave is huge and beautifully maintained, with impressive limestone formations that make every step inside feel like a discovery. The tour was well organized and safe, with clear paths and knowledgeable guides who explained the history and geology in an engaging way. It’s both educational and exciting, especially if you enjoy nature and exploring unique places. We booked a Grab to get here, and the fee was around 50 SGD including 3 hours of waiting time, which was very convenient and worth it. Walking inside the cave gave me a mix of wonder and awe — a truly unforgettable highlight of the trip!

Had a really good time. You need to pay an entrance fee, but it’s worth it. The cave has 5 tracks to choose from – 2 are casual and good for an easy walk, while the other 3 are extreme tracks where you need to wear special gear. I tried it out and it was exciting. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys a bit of adventure.

Definitely worth to visit.It's amazing!The place surrounding,environment very clean ,the vibe is there,quite chill relax.The price ticket is cheap &reasonable.Gua Tempurung is the hidden germ place should come here to explore more. We just went there during weekend & bought ticket for dry path.This place full of staircase and senior might need to be aware as well as the dry path take around 1hour +（as we're taking some photo）.Please wear sport shoes ,hand towel or extra clothes as I really sweat a lot during tat day drip.💯😊😁🎀

Took Tour 1, which was the (supposedly) easy route. Unique experience. Enjoyed the views of the nature sculptured beauty of the cave. More signages to provide more information would be great.

Beautiful caves. That blinking colourful led light is kinda unnecessary and it would be much better if it was the yellowish light. Eh, if you wanna visit, don't la go and conteng the cave wall like uncivilised caveman. Noone cares whether if your whole family went there or you love your girlfriend or not...

We had so much fun here. We take level 3. Things get thrilled once you pass level 2. Crawl in water, pass through hole, slide down the cave, all best experience. I like to watch scary movie. Some about cannibal in cave. So being in the cave is sooooo thrilling. Especially when u put ur light through any dark hole and remembered those cannibals 🤣🤣🤣🤣 If u just want to see magical things of rock formation, you can take up to level 2. The scenery is magical

Good choice for those who wants to go to the theme park and hot springs. The room is spacious and all the amenities are good. The wifi is quite weak, sometimes no connection. Friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast is quite basic. More varieties would be better. The toilet should be improved. In the evening the water flow is very weak. Especially the water heater. Either too cold or too hot cannot make it in the middle. Please kindly fix this.

Stayed at the Sunway Lost World Hotel for a night for SGD102 with access to the night park at Lost World of Tambun and breakfast provide as well which was a great deal. The Lost World of Tambun was supposed to enjoy their hot spring la but hor I see already I scare sia. Like many people nvm looks very eeeeee 🫣 I feel kids will like it so much more loh. But for the price we paid it's alright la. Got animal to see, we anyhow walk walk see see also spent nearly 2hrs inside 😅 Hotel room Aircon is power, toothbrush soft and good. Shampoo not good will make hair like grass but their hairdryer strong so ended up not too bad. But got like those drain flies la 🫣 Overall a decent stay I would say.

Stay one night in exotic triple room, room size just good for 3 persons. For me, everything in the room is ok. Room comes with 3 tickets for Lost World Night Park. If compare to 9 years ago, i think there is an improvement in the park overall. The petting zoo is beyond my expectation, an animal paradise for kids. There are more food stall compared to years before. One needs to pay for the food at a cashier counter first, then go to the food kiosk and show them your receipt. A good place to spend a night, soaking in the hot pool, walking thru the park in dark etc. But but, the breakfast selection is quite limited, hope the management may consider to offer more variety of food such as local kuih or maybe more hot meal like fried rice, especially on Sundays.

Visited the Night Park during the holidays and unfortunately, it was quite underwhelming. The place was too crowded, making it hard to enjoy the attractions peacefully. The hot springs were not hot as expected - more like warm pools, which was disappointing since we came mainly for the relaxation. Crowd management could be improved, especially during peak seasons. Overall, the atmosphere was lively but the experience didn't meet expectations. Might be better to visit on a weekday if you prefer a more relaxing outing.

Total of 3 floors, with many rooms. The room we got was clean and spacious. One thing I like is that they give refill glass bottle in the room. Usually we get like only 2 500ml bottles. This they gave us 2 big glass bottle and unlimited refilled. The place is very near to the water theme park. We got to enjoy the park in the night with heated water pool.

It was the worst. Only cold water came out of the shower. I was told to wait 10 minutes, then 20 minutes, and in the end, only cold water came out all night. They said they couldn't change rooms because they were fully booked, so they just left it at that. Every time I contacted them, they were vague and hesitant. The next day, the manager came out, but he just smirked and didn't respond properly. He said he'd email me later, but I still haven't heard from him. I'll never go there again.

The hotel is already old and tired! The corridor is very narrow . The room not so bad, well equipped. But there are no place in lobby , this is my first experience of hotel where is the lobby and waiting zone so tiny and small! About the breakfast it’s average for 3 star hotel!

Very nice place. Xtahu pun Kene ada appointment for visit this place. But the in charge person very nice and we can visit this place. The guide explain about this mining museum very pleasantly. 3 floor building u have claim stairs for 2n 3 floor.

My first time to this place as an Ipohite. My family members have been multiple times bringing visitors here whenever they pop by. Reservation is required and can be done online. The tour is conducted in English and done professionally with some humor thrown in. Tour lasts exactly one hour and is not too draggy and boring. The museum is pretty well manicured considering it is a private initiative. Kudos and keep it up!!!

Need to book online through their website ipohworld, even if no entrance fee (donation possible). The visit is systematically with a guide who prints out the list of guests. His explanations are clear with a nice sense of humor. Pet Soo means mansion in Hakka dialect, so this place is a club for rich Hakka men in tin business founded in 1893. The notes, photos and maps are good quality. Only the wall drawings (tin exploitation system, tin dredger and so on) and the wax figures are low quality. As it’s a guided tour, need to follow the pace of the guide and cannot take your freedom to go back to a specific area of the 3 levels of the mansion.

Terrific place, a must go to understand local history and cultural heritage. The guided tour is fantastic, and I love the speaker’s patience as he tells the story of Ipoh. Definitely five stars for the guide for being so professional. Just wanted to say that I think one of the introductions on F2 seems to in wrong, see picture, about the Hakka people, the map and EN version seems to be accurate, saying that they originated from Shanxi山西，but the Chinese version mistakenly wrote Shaanxi 陕西, which is another province. Hope there’s somebody that can correct this

History of ipoh through tin mining period. Great guide tour. Need to book it online. It's free, but a donation of 10MYR suggested and is very reasonable. Very informative guide and good exhibition of life during the mining periods. Recommend.

Impressive place to learn about the history of Ipoh and hakka gang during the early time. Guided tour very comprehensive, display items inside very nice n well maintained. We did not do any booking, were passby n allow to join the tour in 10mins.

interesting, remember to make online reservation to secure the place.

Taiping Lake Gardens, located in the town of Taiping in Perak, Malaysia, is a historical and serene retreat that dates back to 1880, making it one of the oldest public gardens in Malaysia. Spanning approximately 64 hectares, this lush park was originally a tin mining site, which was later transformed into a beautifully landscaped garden. The gardens feature scenic lakes, winding pathways, and a rich variety of tropical flora, making it a perfect spot for leisurely walks, jogging, or simply relaxing amidst nature. Its historical charm is enhanced by the colonial-era structures and well-maintained gardens, offering visitors a glimpse into Malaysia's botanical and cultural heritage. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the scenic beauty of the lakes and gardens, makes Taiping Lake Gardens a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Best park in town (and probably in the entire Perak state!). The park has lush green hills in the backdrop with ponds and lakes everywhere your eyes can see. If you come at the right season, there are plenty of blooming lotuses too. If you're lucky, you might get to see a few colourful birds (but beware of the monkeys!). There are bikes for hire, boating activities, and a heritage trail you can follow. Highly recommend for morning walks and evening strolls.

One of the most beautiful and peaceful parks I’ve ever visited in Malaysia. Taman Tasik Taiping is truly a gem — surrounded by lush greenery, giant rain trees, and a scenic lake that reflects the sky like a mirror. Perfect place for morning walks, jogging, cycling, or just sitting under a tree and soaking in nature. The air is fresh, the atmosphere calm, and the whole area is very well maintained. It’s also a great spot for photography — especially during sunrise or just after rain when the mist lingers over the water. There are also swan boats for rent, a children’s playground, and it’s conveniently located near the Taiping Zoo and the Taiping Lake Gardens. Family-friendly and relaxing — a must-visit if you’re in Taiping!

Nature’s Masterpiece – A Morning at Taiping Lake Gardens Taiping Lake Gardens never fails to impress. With its towering rain trees lining the lakes, gently arching branches sweeping over the road like nature’s own cathedral, this place is nothing short of magical. I visited in the morning, and the crisp air, soft mist, and the mirror-like lakes reflecting the sky made for a picture-perfect start to the day. The park is well-maintained, with wide walkways for joggers and cyclists, and benches that invite you to sit a while and just take it all in. Families strolled by, kids laughed near the playground, and couples snapped photos beneath the hanging roots of century-old trees—each corner here feels like a quiet postcard. Taiping has many charms, but the Lake Gardens is its heart. It’s not just a park; it’s a space where time slows down, where history and nature meet in graceful harmony. Whether you're from near or far, it’s a place that welcomes you with open arms—and leaves you refreshed in soul and spirit. Appreciate you stopping by!

Enjoy the scenery which you may not find elsewhere, Aunthetic picture of Lake Gardern Taiping was captured by me this evening , this beautiful view caught after rain, You will not regret visiting this place for your healing, excersise or picnic with family

“Finally visited Taiping Lake Gardens and it was beautiful. We went at night, so cycling was already closed, but walking around the park was lovely. The nature, the surroundings, and the peaceful vibes made it such a nice experience.”

Gorgeous park! Absolutely stunning views. The 2 coloured lake on each side of a little pathway after the bigger bridge was absolutely serene , tingling your senses! We even rented a bike to ride! Good price too. So pretty!!!

To compare my previous visit in 2021, presently the zoo has not been well maintained with many cages/enclosures are empty and facilities not in good condition. The animals look gloomy, few are skinny and few are obviously can be seen having external injury. Very pity to see their conditions. The trams are all look like new / refurbished, but really hope the welfare/facilities of the animals also heavily taken into account as well. Hopefully the management can do their best to overcome all these issues.

The zoo is beautiful and incredibly spacious, set on a massive 36-acre site with a natural lake and streams running through it. Instead of feeling like concrete enclosures, the animal exhibits are designed to mimic their natural habitats, nestled within lush rainforests and greenery. It feels more like a walk through a beautiful nature park where you just happen to encounter amazing wildlife. We saw a various array of animals, from the majestic Malayan tigers and powerful African lions to graceful giraffes and playful orangutans. The "Elephants of the Perak River" exhibit was a particular highlight! The sheer variety of both local and international wildlife is impressive. But the absolute must-do is the Night Safari! It was a magical experience to see nocturnal animals like hyenas and owls become so active under the special "moonlight" lighting. The sounds of the jungle at night were unforgettable. A word of advice: the place is big, so make use of the free tram service or rent a buggy. We spent a full day here and loved every minute. Highly recommended for families, couples, and anyone who appreciates nature and wildlife in a beautiful, well-maintained setting!

Zoo was interesting, simple place. Please bring umbrellas or use caps is you plan to walk around. Tram service were prompt and those who wish to just see the animal for a glance can take the ride. Animal was not found in the present heat condition, most of them were in their shades. Liked the guide who was driving the tram. He was good at giving information. He interact with our kids nicely and jokes with them. As for the place, they could have improved it more and made it even more beautiful. Do not expect to see lots of animals.

The entrance fee is RM16, and RM20 for the Night Safari. At the start, there’s a car that takes you around the zoo, but it drives quite fast, so you don’t really get to see much. After that, you can walk around on your own. There are a lot of monkeys, so do be careful. Maintenance wise, it’s not very good — some dirty water, mosquitoes, and quite a few areas are closed off, maybe due to lack of zookeepers. Still, there are quite a lot of animals to see, like giraffes, elephants, swans, orangutans, cassowary (the “killer bird”), and even capybara! Overall, it’s still quite fun to hang out here with friends, family, or your partner. Just don’t expect it to be very well maintained.

Interesting Experience, but Limited Interaction Overall a good experience! You can’t really touch or get close to the animals since everything’s behind cages. I recommend visiting during the day to see more animals.

The zoo is relatively clean, and the animals look healthy and well cared for. It was a bit too dark to explore on our own. Therefore we joined the complimentary tram tour - it was informative and engaging — definitely worth it.

Out of my expectation, the zoo and animals are well-managed. The animals' coat fur are beautiful implying they have been taken care well. When you go you will first ride a toured safari train. Saw tiger, lions, varieties of birds, zebra, giraffe, tapir, sunbear, orangutan, hippo, rhino etc. Very satisfied.

Chew Jetty, the largest and most famous of the historic Clan Jetties in George Town, Penang, is a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage site offering a unique glimpse into a traditional waterfront lifestyle. It is not a single floating structure, but a community of floating houses—or, more accurately, stilt houses—built entirely over the water on wooden piers. These rustic, interconnected wooden homes have been continuously inhabited by descendants of the Chew clan since the 19th century, creating a living, breathing village seemingly suspended between land and sea. Visitors can explore the long wooden walkway to witness this unique way of life. While primarily a residential area, the jetty has become a popular tourist attraction, with many ground-level rooms in the houses converted into small shops selling souvenirs and local treats. For those interested in the water perspective, boating is a popular activity. Tour operators often offer short boat rides from the jetty, providing scenic views of the stilt houses and the George Town coastline from the sea. The cultural and religious heart of the community is marked by its temples. There are two significant Chinese temples on Chew Jetty. The temple near the entrance is dedicated to the God of Heaven (Jade Deity), and another temple at the very end of the main jetty is dedicated to the Taoist Sea Deity, Haisen, to ensure good fortune and safe journeys at sea. While the primary temples follow Taoist and traditional Chinese folk religion, a prominent, striking structure adjacent to the Chew Jetty is the beautiful Hean Boo Thean Kuan Yin Temple, often referred to as the Floating Temple. While this temple is not physically on Chew Jetty, its stunning location perched right on the water makes it a major highlight when viewing the jetties from the coast or on a boat tour.

It's your average tourist hotspot with loads of souvenir shops along the way. A traditional jetty that's now a popular tourist spot for pictures. If you ask me personally, it's worth a pit stop if you're already in the area - especially if you're exploring Armenian Street and the cafes in its vicinity. However, do keep in mind to be respectful because most of the houses along the jetty are still homes to locals. People actually still live there. So when taking pictures, be respectful! 😬

Chew Jetty may be small, but it's still a nice place to explore. It has a unique charm and local vibe. I enjoyed walking through the wooden walkways and supporting the local shops. The souvenirs here are surprisingly affordable—definitely cheaper than in other touristy areas. Worth a quick visit if you're nearby!

Chew Jetty is a remarkable glimpse into Penang's past. Built in the 19th century by Chinese immigrants, this wooden village on stilts offers a unique experience. Walking along the wooden planks, you'll pass colorful houses, small shops, and temples, all while enjoying the sea breeze. It's a peaceful spot to explore, photograph, and learn about the heritage of George Town. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and those seeking an authentic cultural experience

We read the history about the clans and jetties and visited chew jetty. We had an unique experience visiting in the night. Shops were shut and it was peaceful to walk. Fewer people. Very interesting to see the houses built on the water and the way of living was fascinating. We didn't get to visit in the morning time though.

The small village of the wooden stilts house but still a nice option to visit. You can enjoy some spot photo, local souvenirs shop, and the temple. I think it’s better to explore in the evening.

Historic , but very touristy. The temple at the end aldo has some lovely views. Also has 5 temples at the road end including one built under an old tree. Amazing.

This is an interesting place to visit whether you're a history buff or not. It allowed me to peek into the lifestyle of the wealthy Nonya family. Looking at the artefacts and portraits was fun enough, but I would have loved it more if detailed descriptions and explanations were given on signs and boards. As it is now, the visitor has to piece everything together without being given a congruent story. Nonetheless, the mansion is beautiful and the musical show is very cute.

RM30 is the entry fee per person. Self-guided tours are available throughout the day. We bought the entry ticket after reaching there. Can spend 2 hours. Beautiful Mansion , 2 levels and multiple rooms to watch and see. Can get crowded and the family prayer room in the back has a disconcerting feeling. Must visit which gives a glimpse into Peranakan life and the grandeur. Thoroughly enjoyed it. And lot of photo spots to get good pictures. Only negative was the airconditioning inside the mansion and it got so stuffy to be inside which ruined the experience. Other than that, definitely recommended if you are in Georgetown.

I have visited many Peranakan museums in Singapore, Malacca and now here in Penang for the first time. One of the best kept Peranakan museum I have seen so far. Well designed mansions including family altar and very huge kitchen space that they turned into restaurant and even theatre. Many exhibits were a time piece of their time, trapped in the space of time so that we can visit and relate. Included art piece, kitchenware, furnitures, and even well taken photographs. Certainly the building made a good spot for photography and can see the many patrons who donned Nonya clothing and employed photographers to take good shot. Love the museum!!

Interesting tour of the mansion, was highly impressed with the English speaking tour guide, he was engaging and knowledgable. You can pay for a tour and spend as much time as you wish after exploring the rooms which is a nice touch. The tour lasts approx. 40-45 minutes. The only reason I didn’t score 5/5 was because the exhibits felt a bit modernised in places and the waiting area was very hectically managed.

An excellent place to understand the early 19th century Chinese peranakan culture, architecture and arfetacts. Open daily from 9am to 5pm. Visitors even can rent the nyonya costume for photos shotting. Impressive with the Jewelry display as well. Don't miss the antique selling hall for souvenir back.

Wonderful treasure trove of Peranakan artifacts. Amazing musuem guides who are passionate about the place. visitors are treated to a 40-minute song-dance-acting skit in the small auditorium, which is highly entertaining & engaging. The musuem shops are also interesting.

We visited this as Blue Mansion had no available spots. And it was beautiful piece of art and history. Highly recommended. There is option to rent traditional clothes for photos

Recommended but with some negatives. Pros: still plenty of beauty in the buildings and grounds. Nice viewpoints. Staff are friendly and helpful. Cons: It's chaotic. The lower tram isn't working so they put you in a mini van to get to the next level up, then a golf cart to the upper tram. There's no map or guide to help you, and signage is confusing. There's a walk up and through gardens that would have been better than the golf cart. There's no way for first time visitors to understand the layout. They want you to go through the stores and you'll miss the best parts on the middle levels if you aren't careful. Take your time to explore all the directions. It's quite commercialized. Selling stuff I the Temples seems a little weird.

Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang is one of the most breathtaking attractions in George Town and a must-visit for travelers seeking culture, history, and stunning views. Built on a hillside, this Buddhist temple complex is famous for its colorful architecture, intricate carvings, and the impressive 30-meter tall Goddess of Mercy statue. Walking through the temple grounds, you’ll discover beautiful pagodas, prayer halls, and thousands of Buddha statues. During Chinese New Year, the temple lights up with lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere perfect for photos. Accessible by car or Grab, it’s a peaceful escape where you can enjoy panoramic views of Penang Island. Whether you’re here for spirituality, photography, or sightseeing, Kek Lok Si Temple is truly one of the top things to do in Penang and an unforgettable highlight of any trip.

Kek Lok Si Temple is a beautiful and iconic place to visit in Penang. The architecture, statues, and view from the top are absolutely worth the trip! If you’re able to walk up the temple, I’d highly recommend doing so — it’s a nice experience and you’ll get to explore the surroundings at your own pace. Be aware there are quite a few drivers touting their service (around RM33) to bring visitors up to the Guan Yin temple level. Personally, I find it not necessary unless you have mobility issues. The tram service stop also isn’t really worth it. Walking up is definitely the better way to enjoy the place!

Amazing vast site on many levels, sometimes a bit difficult to work out which way to go but there are always kind people there to ask and they are very willing to help. So much to see and take pictures of I’d advise 3-4 hours if you take lots of beautiful pictures. 2-3 hours if you don’t. I took a taxi there but found via google the local bus 204 took me to 200 yds of my hotel and cost just 2 R, didn’t take much longer than a taxi and was A/C ….LOVE A BARGAIN

Well... If you really have a time then visit it, otherwise don't fomo. The architecture of buildings are pretty impressive, Big Buddha statue is pretty big, there is a nice city view, but all the buildings are not sacred but... gift shops :( As for the cable car, there is no priority lane for disabled or infants, so you have to wait in the warm gift shop in a close proximity to other people. To be honest, skip the cable car/cab option and take a walk from the parking to the top. It's very easy and short. If you have a baby trolley like me, you can go around the stairs.

Kek Lok Si feels much more like a large religious supermarket than a place of reflection. Everywhere you turn there are Buddhist statues, trinkets, incense, and endless items for sale. To reach the upper levels you need to buy a fairly pricey shuttle ticket. On the first ride a Buddhist monk actually drives, which already sets a confusing tone. Then, to get to the inclined elevator, you walk through a long corridor lined with shelves of Buddha themed merchandise, gadget after gadget. At the top there is yet another shop before you finally reach the terrace and the huge bronze Guan Yin statue. The base of the statue is not open to the public, which adds to the feeling of anticlimax. The garden above is pleasant, with benches, a pond, and a pavilion, and clearly cared for. However, the temple area itself feels strangely hollow. One entire side of the main hall is filled with porcelain vases for sale. Inside, only a few sticks of incense burn. There is no real sense of devotion or spiritual atmosphere. I understand that a complex of this size requires funding, but the commercialisation here feels excessive and overwhelms any sense of sacredness. Overall, Kek Lok Si is visually impressive from a distance, but the experience on site is disappointing.

Majestic and Peaceful Temple Complex Kek Lok Si Temple is absolutely breathtaking — a true symbol of Penang’s spiritual and cultural beauty. The intricate architecture, towering pagoda, and giant Goddess of Mercy statue make this one of the most impressive Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia. The atmosphere is calm and serene, with stunning panoramic views of Penang from the top. It’s best to visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat and enjoy the beautiful lighting for photos. Don’t miss the turtle pond and the peaceful prayer halls. A must-visit landmark for anyone coming to Penang!

Penang Hill, locally known as Bukit Bendera, is a refreshing escape from the heat and hustle of George Town. Reaching the summit, over 800 meters above sea level, is an adventure in itself, thanks to the iconic, steeply inclined funicular railway. While lines for the train can be lengthy during peak hours—a quick tip: consider the fast-lane ticket to save time—the view from the top makes the journey worthwhile. The peak offers spectacular, panoramic vistas of the island, George Town’s skyline, and the mainland. It's especially magical during sunset or when the city lights twinkle at night. The air is noticeably cooler, often dropping several degrees, providing genuine respite. Beyond the viewing decks, the hill is steeped in history, featuring colonial-era bungalows and diverse religious sites, including a mosque and a Hindu temple. The prime attraction, however, is The Habitat. This world-class rainforest discovery center features the Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk and the Langur Way Canopy Walk, allowing visitors to walk high above the 130-million-year-old rainforest. It's an immersive experience for nature lovers, rich in flora and fauna. Penang Hill is a charming blend of natural beauty, colonial heritage, and modern eco-tourism, offering something for every visitor seeking cooler climes and breathtaking sights.

So much of new development since I last came in August 2025. Tram service is good, organised, and efficient. Didn't have to wait for too long. The experience of going uphill and downhill in the tram is interesting. Once up there, you will be greeted with gentle and chill breeze, it's so refreshing. There are a few platforms for photo shooting and enjoying the view of penang island. A lot of souvenir stalls and there's a food courts where you can enjoy local delicacies. So many kid-friendly activities here. For this trip, I visited the Habitat, a reserve forest where u can take tour guide to bring you through the forest on the canopy bridge, it is well maintained and the scenery is just spectacular. We stayed here till sunset. What a perfect experience to enjoy the beauty of Penang.

Penang hill was literally the highlight of our visit to Penang island. The cable car ride and the view from the top are none to second. We were unfortunately late so we didn’t manage to visit the habitat which was a pity but maybe a good reason to come back.

Penang Hill is definitely one of the must-visit UNESCO sites in Penang! 🌿 The view from the top is absolutely stunning and the weather is super cool and nice escape from the city heat. Loved the tram ride up, smooth and scenic! 🚞 Great place to explore and spend quality time with family. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Penang!

Best place to overlook the whole Penang Island. We are lucky as it is low season in Nov and weekday, don’t need to wait too long for the cable car to go up. A refresh walk after raining too. 😌

Went up by train. Cool and breezy evening. Penang Hill offers a contrast to the warm and humid island. Great view of Penang city at night.

This hill is a beautiful place combination of beauty, heritage, modern eco tourism , breathtaking and many more. This is at the 800 meters above the sea level and it is away from the town. Very clean place.The hill is very steeped,one ca experience various flora and fauna,130 million years old rainforest etc. Lastly, reaching the peak itself is an adventure in itself. Thanks to the iconic steep railway service.
