Penang Hill, or Bukit Bendera, is the group of forested peaks in the middle of the island, about 16 km by road north of the airport. The cars stop at the lower station of the funicular railway on Jalan Stesen Bukit Bendera in Air Itam, which climbs to the summit at over 800 m. From the airport the road runs north through Relau and Paya Terubong, past the edge of the Kek Lok Si temple complex, and reaches the station without entering central George Town. The roads in Air Itam are busy around the morning market.
The funicular takes visitors from the lower station up to the summit area, where viewpoints look over George Town, the Penang Bridge and the mainland, and The Habitat nature trail and canopy walk start near the upper station. Old colonial bungalows, a mosque and a Hindu temple stand on the top. The road to the summit is closed to private cars, so visits begin at the lower station. Kek Lok Si Temple is a short drive away in Air Itam, and the Air Itam Dam is further up the valley.
Public transport: No direct bus from the airport. Rapid Penang bus 204 runs from Pengkalan Weld and KOMTAR in George Town to the Penang Hill lower station on Jalan Stesen Bukit Bendera; from the airport, bus 401E or 102 reaches George Town first.
