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!

It was raining heavily in the morning, but we were able to enter the facility. It's reassuring to have an umbrella when visiting the butterfly area. Inside, there are many indoor insect exhibits, so you can enjoy yourself even if it's raining. We spent a leisurely three hours exploring. There's also a restaurant, and the pasta and Malay dishes were delicious. There weren't any drinks available for children, so I recommend bringing your own beverages. There were no vending machines inside the facility. My child was thrilled to see and touch both taxidermied and live insects. The rain stopped partway through, and we were able to enjoy the butterflies in the butterfly garden. If it's raining, the butterflies tend to rest, so I recommend visiting the indoor exhibits first. The Entopia original T-shirt was cute, so I bought it as a souvenir. We had a wonderful time. Experience: Excellent

As the tallest skyscraper in George Town, "The TOP Komtar" is more than just a city landmark; it's a comprehensive entertainment hub combining a theme park, exhibition halls, and high-altitude observation decks. Purchase the Komtar Five Attractions Pass online, which includes: the 68th-floor Rainbow Skywalk, the 65th-floor Observatory Deck and Cantilevered Glass Walkway, the Indoor Aquarium, and the Jurassic Research Center. After purchasing tickets, you'll receive a unique QR code. Simply exchange this code for an admission wristband at the park counter. This wristband serves as your pass, granting you access to all facilities, making the process simple and smooth. From indoor aquatic ecosystems and prehistoric Jurassic scenes to the double-decker cantilevered skywalk and panoramic city views, one trip offers a rich blend of science education, fun, thrills, and sightseeing, ensuring an incredibly fulfilling and exciting day.

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.

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

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.

It’s a very cool museum with friendly staff. I thought it would be a short tour given it’s located in a small building but it turned out to have a lot of content. 100% recommend for history lovers.
