THE FLOWERS OF PENANG HILL

"By plucking her petals,

you do not gather the beauty of the flower."

~ RABINDRANATH TAGORE ~

One of the things I do when travelling is flower-hunting. I found the blooms were bigger there on Penang Hill a.k.a Bukit Bendera. It must be the high altitude and lower temperature.

It is sad to say that I have less and less time to tend to my flowering plants at home. That should be one valid reason to consider opting out early from the profession.

ENJOYING THE PANORAMIC VIEW OF PENANG HILL AND EVERYTHING AROUND

17th MARCH 2018 ~ And I finally set foot on the summit (was that really the summit?) of the 821-metre of Penang Hill (a.k.a Bukit Bendera) - riding a tram. 

Basically people come here to enjoy the panoramic view and the cool, fresh air. There are other attractions, but they are not free. The latest one is called the Habitat where people could walk around on an elevated platform to enjoy a spectacular view of the surroundings but the entrance fee costs RM50 which I feel is overpriced.

We took a buggy ride service to explore the area as there are two senior citizens wannabe in the trip. :)

the secret of looking slim

We even had a picnic under the tree, eating the food bought earlier at the morning market.

Penang Hill will be celebrating its 100th birthday in 2023 and I am sure there will more exciting things to happen. That will be definitely the best time to make a return trip there.
