Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Penang

Napakasaya ng aming kalahating araw na tour sa Balik Pulau! Ang aming gabay na si CC ay napaka-atento at napakahusay sa kaalaman tungkol sa pamana. Sinimulan niya sa pagpapakilala sa amin sa bedak sejuk (pampalamig na pulbos), isang daan-daang taong tradisyon ng pangangalaga sa balat sa Penang—isang natatanging hiyas ng kultura! Pagkatapos ay nasiyahan kami sa masarap na Fried Flat Noodles (Char Hor Fun) sa isang lokal na kainan sa Balik Pulau. Bagama't sarado ang pabrika ng Belacan, naglaan pa rin si CC ng oras upang ipaliwanag sa amin nang detalyado ang buong proseso ng paggawa ng belacan. Nagbahagi rin siya ng mga kamangha-manghang kaalaman sa Nutmeg Factory, sa Container Art Festival, at tinapos ang lahat sa isang masarap na pagtikim ng durian. Ang kanyang paliwanag tungkol sa disenyo at gamit ng bahay ng Malay Kampong ay talagang namumukod-tangi. Lubos naming inirerekomenda si CC!

Maganda ang pagkakagawa, moderno at maayos ang mga eksibisyon, ang Entopia ay kakaiba at tiyak na isang bagong karanasan kumpara sa lumang tradisyonal na butterfly park museum. Mayroon ding magandang cafe para maupo at magpahinga na may makatwirang presyo ng pagkain at inumin. Lubos na humanga ang aking pamilya at paglabas namin sa lugar, natuto kaming pahalagahan hindi lamang ang mga paru-paro kundi pati na rin ang kaharian ng mga insekto nang higit pa kaysa dati. Ang mga staff ay may kaalaman at palakaibigan. Ito ay tiyak na isang atraksyon na dapat bisitahin kung ikaw ay nasa 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.

Ang River Cruise ay kamangha-mangha at napakahusay ng pagkakaplano. Ang Guide, pati na rin ang babae sa ticketing desk, ay napakagalang at matulungin. Ang guide ay talagang isang masayahing tao, na nagpasaya sa 90 minutong cruise sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga biro at pagiging magaan ang loob. Dadalhin ka niya sa paligid ng ilog, hanggang sa makarating ito sa karagatan at sa daan (at pabalik) ay makakahuli ka ng isda, susubukang manghuli ng alimango, pipitas ng Mangrove Apple, matututo tungkol sa bangka ng mangingisda, mga bangkang pangisda at iba pa. Ang tanging bagay na maaaring hindi mo magustuhan ay ang ilog mismo ay medyo marumi at makikita mo ang dami ng basura na itinapon ng mga tao sa magandang ilog na iyon. Patungo sa pagtatapos ng cruise, ang guide ay mamumulot ng medyo maraming basura na isang karaniwang gawain sa bawat cruise. Mukha ring marumi ang tubig at umaasa lang ako na ang Gobyerno at ang mga tao doon ay patuloy na magsisikap upang linisin ito.

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.

Sobrang nagustuhan ito ng aking anak. Nasiyahan siyang kumuha ng litrato at tumawa nang malakas matapos makita ang kahanga-hangang tanawin. Sa kasamaang palad, ang presyo ng tiket ay walang espesyal na column para sa OKU, kaya kailangan naming bumili ng normal na presyo at hindi ito refundable. Bumili kami ng tiket sa pamamagitan ng Klook.

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

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.
