Chasing the Sunrise: A Serendipitous Morning on Penang Hill

#penangtrip #100waysoftravel #penanghill The last time I visited Penang Hill with friends, it was afternoon, and the place was packed with people, making the wait for the funicular train quite long. This time, I hesitated about whether to go again since we didn’t rent a car and had to rely entirely on public transportation and our feet. Just as I was in doubt, I stumbled upon an early morning ticket offer—round trip for only RM5. It was too good to pass up, so we decided to forgo our night out and wake up early. The bus ride from the city was just RM2.70, proving once again that Penang is a city made for travelers. Despite the weather forecast predicting cloudy skies and rain, it seemed like the heavens smiled upon us, as the sunrise turned out to be quite beautiful. At that moment, every early wake-up and wait was worth it.
