Ting at lave i Penang

Havde en fantastisk halvdagstur i Balik Pulau! Vores guide CC var super opmærksom og meget velbevandret i kulturarv. Han startede med at introducere os til bedak sejuk (kølende pudder), en århundreder gammel Penang hudplejetradition – en helt unik kulturskat! Derefter nød vi lækre stegte flade nudler (Char Hor Fun) på et lokalt sted i Balik Pulau. Selvom Belacan-fabrikken var lukket, tog CC sig stadig tid til at forklare hele belacan-fremstillingsprocessen detaljeret for os. Han delte også fascinerende indsigter på muskatnøddefabrikken, Container Art Festival, og afsluttede det hele med en lækker durian-smagning. Hans forklaring af det malaysiske Kampong-huses design og funktionalitet var et sandt højdepunkt. Kan varmt anbefale CC!

Entopia er smukt kurateret, moderne og velholdt med udstillinger, der er unikke og absolut en frisk oplevelse sammenlignet med et gammelt, traditionelt sommerfugleparkmuseum. Der er endda en ret pæn café, hvor man kan sidde og lade op med mad og drikke til rimelige priser. Min familie var så imponeret, og da vi trådte ud af stedet, havde vi lært at værdsætte ikke kun sommerfugle, men insektverdenen så meget mere end før. Personalet er informativt og venligt. Dette er absolut en attraktion, man skal besøge, hvis man er i Batu Ferringhi!

We had a great experience at TOP Penang. Tickets were easy to book online via Klook, and collecting them on site was straightforward. The attractions were manageable to cover within a good amount of time, so the visit felt relaxed and enjoyable. One of the highlights was being there to catch the sunset, which made the experience even more special. Having dinner at Top View afterwards completed the day perfectly and made it a memorable visit.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, and while the area near the cable car station was crowded, the park itself was noticeably less so. It was a rare opportunity for a forest bath, and the environment was very well preserved. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and the treetop walk and skywalk offered great photo opportunities. As mentioned in other reviews, the network coverage nearby was very poor, and there was no network at all inside the park, so it's essential to prepare an offline QR code in advance. We didn't see any monkeys or squirrels in the park that day, and staff suggested they are easier to spot in the morning. However, we were lucky enough to encounter them all outside the park! Be aware that there are a lot of mosquitoes and insects inside the park; even after applying repellent, we were still a 'crazy buffet' for them, so be prepared. After exploring, there was a free shuttle bus back to the cable car station, which was a great arrangement.

We were so engaged in all of the tech stands there that I forgot to take the photos )) This museum works best for older children (10+), in my opinion. Definitely worth a visit, especially if combined with other attractions in Komtar

The aquarium soo niceeeee and beautiful. there are feeding shows to the fishes and stingrays at 2pm, 2.20pm and 2.40pm. Really worth it.

Min datter elskede det meget. Hun nød at tage billeder og grine højt efter at have set den fantastiske scene. Billetprisen havde desværre ikke en særlig kolonne for OKU (personer med handicap), så vi måtte købe til normal pris, og det var ikke refunderbart. Vi købte billetter via Klook.

Flodkrydstogtet var fantastisk og meget velorganiseret. Guiden, såvel som damen ved billetskranken, var meget høflige og hjælpsomme. Guiden var virkelig en sjov fyr, som gjorde det 90 minutter lange krydstogt meget fornøjeligt med sine vittigheder og lette stemning. Han tager dig med rundt på floden, indtil den når havet, og på vejen (og tilbage) fanger du en fisk, prøver at fange en krabbe, plukker et Mangrove-æble, lærer om fiskerbåden, fiskefartøjer osv. og så videre. Det eneste, du måske ikke bryder dig om, er, at floden i sig selv var lidt beskidt, og man kunne se mængden af affald, folk smider i den smukke flod. Mod slutningen af krydstogtet samler guiden en del affald op, hvilket er standardpraksis på hvert krydstogt. Vandet virkede også beskidt, og jeg håber bare, at regeringen og folk der fortsat vil gøre en indsats for at gøre det rent.

The experience was exhilarating & the sunset view from the location was awesome.
