  • Penang Hill is a hill resort comprising a group of peaks near the center of Penang Island, Malaysia. It is located within the Air Itam suburb, 9 km (5.6 mi) west of the center of George Town. Penang Hill is also known by the Malay name Bukit Bendera, which actually refers to Flagstaff Hill, the most developed peak. One of the peaks is known as Strawberry Hill, which was also the name of a house owned by Francis Light, founder of Penang colony. A number of hills are covered by Penang Hill, with the highest point being Western Hill that stands at an altitude of 833 meters (2,733 feet) above sea level. Penang Hill is a hilly and forested area that stands out from the lowlands of Malaysia by being hilly and wooded. The area was used as a retreat during the British colonial period, and is now a very popular tourist destination due to its history and heritage. The top of Flagstaff Hill, the most developed tourist area, is accessible via the Penang Hill Railway from its base station at Hill Railway Station Road. To date, this funicular railway system is the only one of its kind in Malaysia, transporting over a million visitors to the top of Penang Hill as of 2014. Penang Hill is part of Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve, recognized by UNESCO as the third Biosphere Reserve in Malaysia listed in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR). (en)
  • Bukit Bendera merupakan sebuah kawasan parlemen di negara bagian Pulau Pinang, negara Malaysia. Pulau Pinang terletak di antara negeri Kedah dengan negeri Perak di utara Semenanjung Malaysia. Setinggi 830 m di atas Georgetown, puncak Bukit Bendera (Bahasa Inggris: Penang Hill) menyediakan tempat nyaman yang memungkinkan pelancong-pelancong mengasingkan diri dari panas yang menggigit di bawahnya. Secara umum, bukit ini bersuhu 5 derajat Celsius lebih dingin dari garis laut. Dari puncak, para pelancong bisa melihat pemandangan menakjubkan ke bawah seluruh pulau bahkan juga ke tanah utama di seberang laut. Terdapat taman yang menyenangkan, pondok bergaya tua, restoran dan penginapan, sebuah kuil Hindu, serta Masjid Muslim di puncaknya. Bukit Pulau Pinang sebenarnya digelari Bulit Strawberi karena ia juga merupakan penghasil stroberi. Bentuk muka buminya dan suhu yang dingin telah membuat stroberi bisa tumbuh dengan baik. Rintisan yang mencapai ke puncaknya mudah melalui Taman Botanikal Air Terjun dengan jalan kaki. Nama resmi bukit ini adalah Bukit Bendera Pulau Pinang (Flag Hill), namun ia tetap secara umum dipanggil Bukit Pulau Pinang. (in)
  • 升旗山(馬來語:Bukit Bendera),又名檳榔山(英語:Penang Hill),位于槟岛中部,主峰西方山(Western Hill)海拔833米(2,733英尺),是槟城的最高点。 其中海拔735米(2,411英尺)的旗山(Flagstaff Hill)是升旗山群峰中被开发最多的山峰,也是当地居民和游客的避暑胜地。由于过去英国高官的别墅大多数在这里,山下的士兵利用旗语传递重要讯息,升旗山因而得名。 升旗山山间的气候凉爽宜人,是槟城著名的旅游胜地。游客欲上升旗山,可选择乘坐有缆列车或徒步登山。建于1922年,当年是为了方便英国人上山度假而建。山上还保留着许多殖民地时期的度假别墅,现在已开放给游客租宿。登山可眺望槟威海峡及威省的景色。山顶上建有一座优美的高地花园,以种植和花卉为主,是游客赏心悦目的理想场所。该地连同毗邻的槟城国家公园等已被纳入联合国教科文组织世界生物圈保护区网络。 (zh)
