If you bring your kids to Penang, don't miss out on playing Top 1, especially the glass plank road on the high-rise building.

The whole scenery of Penang Hill is beautiful, when we arrived it was clear and clear, overlooking the entire Penang coast, the cable car was also very characteristic, I was lucky enough to stand in the first row and climb up along the big glass looking at the slope The feeling of going back in time. There is a wide variety of plants on the mountain, many of which were seen for the first time, and we walked around the mountain road for two hours without feeling too tired, because the scenery along the way was so beautiful

Our guide Jenny is very knowledgeable. She gave us a detailed introduction of Balik Pulau and brought us to many nostalgic sites of the village for photo taking. If you love to shop, she can also introduce you the local produce of this village. Overall, it is an enjoyable half day trip at our own pace. We had lots of fun with our bellies filled! 😋

The Top Penang is a must visit with kids. Apart from picturesque views, it offers Dinosaur park and aquarium which is totally worth your time.

The pass is totally worth it if you book 3+ attractions. That comes out to be cheaper than booking individual activities.
