Learn about these at the talk session – “Rejuvenating Penang Hill: The Journey Continues…” by Lngeshwary a/p Bhaskaran and Muhamad Sahrizan bin Sepiai – who spearhead Penang Hill Corporation’s Project Planning & Development Division, Ir.

Step back in time and experience the vibrant past of Penang Hill with a visit to The Crag, a historical landmark on the Hill that has withstood the test of time. Built-in the mid-19th century, The Crag served many purposes over the years, from a sanitarium to a hotel and a boarding school. This iconic building was the filming site for “Indochine” in 1992 and a British TV series, “Indian Summers”, in 2014.

Take a 3-km nostalgic stroll along the Crag Heritage Trail while indulging yourself in the memories of Penang Hill. If you are an Uplands alumnus, it will be appealing to find out more about your alma mater and relive some of your fondest memories!

Talk & Walk: Crag Heritage Trail

A rare chance to see the nocturnal wonders of the Penang Hill rainforest! In deep darkness, surrounded by jungle sounds, you will enter a world inhabited by diverse night creatures. Many animals, especially insects, amphibians, and reptiles, hide from predators during the day. This means that night is the best time to find beautiful frogs, shy snakes, and other rainforest creatures that only come out when the sky turns dark. You never know what miraculous creatures you will encounter!

Night Exploration

Open up your little ones to nature! Expose them to a wide variety of plants and trees in the rainforest, together with experienced and amiable guides who will provide thorough explanations. And to make the experience even more memorable, a copy of the “Penang Hill
Nature Trail Companion” book will be theirs to take home.

Next, familiarise them with the iconic, adorable creature on Penang Hill, the langur, or dusky leaf monkey, with an engaging and interactive activity conducted by Langur Project Penang (LPP).

To wrap up, the children will experience gardening and tree planting with recycled materials at a plant nursery. It’s an excellent opportunity to teach them about the importance of sustainability and caring for the environment. Children aged five to 15 years old are welcome to join us!
