What it is

This guided tour pairs two of Penang's signature hilltop sights with a local food stop. You ride the funicular train up Penang Hill for cool air and panoramic views over George Town and the strait, then explore Kek Lok Si, a sprawling, ornately decorated Buddhist temple complex famous for its pagoda of 10,000 Buddhas and a towering Kuan Yin statue. A tasting of Penang's beloved laksa rounds out a day that blends scenery, culture and flavour.
