​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a fun and relaxing activity! ​Hands down one of the best activities I did during my trip! Batik painting made learning the art of batik so accessible and enjoyable. The staff was super warm and encouraging, helping us with both the wax tracing and color blending. It was so calming to just sit and paint, and I love how my finished batik piece turned out. A must-try experience!

Had a wonderful experience at Yi Ping Fang Pottery Studio! 🎨 The instructor is amazing, very patient and helpful, guiding us step by step to create our acrylic drawings from scratch. Even as beginners, we felt comfortable learning and exploring our creativity. We had so much fun throughout the class and really enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommend this studio to anyone who wants to try acrylic painting! 😊

Had an absolutely fantastic time at this whiskey tasting! The host’s passion for whiskey is truly infectious, and their depth of knowledge made the entire experience both educational and engaging. From exploring complex flavor profiles to learning the stories behind each distillery, every sip was a highlight. Whether you’re a seasoned whiskey drinker or a curious beginner, this experience is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

I was skeptical at first as Penang's history is not new to me but this production pleasantly surprised me. It was a sincere production with engaging performances. Really appreciate the thoughtful screen on the tables of premium seating as there are pillars blocking the stage view. Dinner was pleasant, taste was good but not wow. Overall an awesome experience which I will definitely recommend for tourist.

We enjoyed our guided tour with Rana who is knowledgeable about fruit trees he introduced to us and we enjoyed eating the different fruits besides the juice and fruits package we bought via Klook. Overall a fun tour but beware can be very hot and mosquitoes too. Also you can request the ticketing office to help book taxi to leave the place as we are near to closing time at 5:15 pm.

Book it! The guide was amazing at explaining the history of the Penang hill, the difference in Buddhist practices, local culture and temples history. I would have not appreciated the location as deeply without this explanation. definitely worth it.
