Penang Hill is the oldest colonial hill station established by the British during their time in Malaysia. Explored during the late 18th century, a horse trail was cut from the Waterfall Gardens (present-day Penang Botanic Gardens) to the summit of the hilly spine of Penang, allowing the British to escape from the chaos in George Town to a cooler climate on the hill.

The Penang Hill Corporation was formed to manage this marvellous hill. We are a corporation that was formed by multiple background & expertise personnel. Our main objective is to develop and maintain the hill as a tourism site and aiming to become a world-class tourism hot spot.
