Penang Hill Train
The most popular way is to the top of the hill of the Penang Hill Railway. Located at the foot of the hill, this Swiss-designed tram started off the Air Itam. Built in 1923, it is one of the world's oldest electric train systems and has a 2,007-meter long track that climbs a hill in 30 minutes.
