槟城-宝贵的文化遗产
槟城与地球赤道的距离很近，全年都处于夏季。总得来说全年都适合人们观光旅游。但相对来说，每年六月到九月之间，是到槟城旅游的最好时间，因为这段时间中，槟城气温还比较温和，平均气温在二十七度左右。
Penang is a Malaysian state located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia, by the Malacca Strait. It has two parts: Penang Island, where the capital city, George Town, is located, and Seberang Perai (formerly Province Wellesley) on the Malay Peninsula. Penang is bordered by Kedah to the north and the east and Perak to the south.
Known as the Silicon Valley of the East for its industries, Penang is also one of the most urbanised and economically-important states in the country. George Town, which was founded by the British in 1786, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a thriving tourist destination. Penang has the third highest Human Development Index in Malaysia, after the State of Selangor and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.
Its heterogeneous population is highly diverse in ethnicity, culture, language and religion. A resident of Penang is colloquially known as a Penangite (in English), Penang Lang (in Penang Hokkien) or Penangkaran (in Tamil).

极乐寺建于1893年，寺庙依山而建，占地12公顷。赞助者为张弼士，謝榮光，戴喜云等五名槟城富商。
极乐寺的建设由当时任椰脚街广福宫的主持妙莲法师所启发。妙莲法师原本来自福建涌泉寺，他曾于1885年到槟城州筹募基金修建福州龟山法堂。2年后，出任椰脚街广福宫的住持。槟城极乐寺最先建立的是大士殿，5年后相继增建天王殿、大雄殿、藏经阁、东西客堂及放生池等。
1930年，极乐寺内楼高7层的万佛塔正式建成。此塔的底部、中部和顶部分别采纳了中国、泰国和缅甸寺庙的设计，综合了三国寺庙的建筑风格。2002年，一座30.2公尺高的观音铜像建成。
Kek Lok Si Temple is a Buddhist temple situated in Air Itam in Penang facing the sea and commanding an impressive view, and is one of the best known temples on the island. It is said to be the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. It is also an important pilgrimage centre for Buddhists from Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore and other countries in Southeast Asia. This entire complex of temples was built over a period from 1890 to 1930, an inspirational initiative of Beow Lean, the Abbot. The main draw in the complex is the striking seven-storey Pagoda of Rama VI (Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas) with 10,000 alabaster and bronze statues of Buddha, and the 30.2 metres (99 ft) tall bronze statue of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy.
Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism and traditional Chinese rituals blend into a harmonious whole, both in the temple architecture and artwork as well as in the daily activities of worshippers. The temple is heavily commercialized with shops at every level and inside the main temple complexes selling all religious paraphernalia.

For the federal constituency represented in the Dewan Rakyat, see Bukit Bendera (federal constituency). Penang HillPenang Hill is a hill resort comprising a group of peaks on Penang Island, Malaysia. It is located in Air Itam, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) west of the city centre of George Town. Penang Hill is also known by the Malay name Bukit Bendera, which actually refers to Flagstaff Hill, the most developed peak.
Penang Hill covers a number of hills, with the highest point at Western Hill which is 833 metres (2,733 ft) above sea level. The hill stands out prominently from the lowlands as a hilly and forested area. It was used as a retreat during the British colonial period, and is now a popular tourist destination in Penang.
The top of the hill is accessible via the Penang Hill Railway from its base station at Jalan Bukit Bendera, Air Itam. To date, this funicular railway system is the only one of its kind in Malaysia, transporting over a million visitors to the peak of Penang Hill as of 2014.

升旗山，又名檳榔山，位于槟岛中部，主峰西方山,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。有缆列车建于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，以种植热带植物和花卉为主，是游客赏心悦目的理想场所。

The Snake Temple is situated in Sungai Kluang, Bayan Lepas, Southwest Penang Island, Penang, Malaysia and is perhaps the only temple of its kind in the world. The temple is filled with the smoke of burning incense and a variety of pit vipers. The vipers are believed to be rendered harmless by the sacred smoke, but as a safety precaution, the snakes have also been de-venomed but still have their fangs intact. Visitors are warned against picking up the reptiles and placing them on their bodies to take pictures. Local devotees believe the temple's snake population comes there of its own accord.
The temple was built about 1850 in memory of Chor Soo Kong, by a Buddhist monk. Chor Soo Kong (also known as Qingshui) was born in China with the surname Tan in China during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). He was serious about seeking spiritual attainment and was ordained at an early age. According to legend, Chor Soo Kong was also a healer and sometimes gave shelter to the snakes of jungle. When he died at age 65 after a lifetime of good deeds, he was awarded the honorific title Chor Soo, that of an eminent figure revered generation after generation. After the construction of the temple, snakes reportedly appeared by themselves. The temple was originally called the "Temple of the Azure Cloud" in honor of the beauty of Penang's sky.

The Khoo Kongsi is a large Chinese clanhouse with elaborate and highly ornamented architecture, a mark of the dominant presence of the Chinese in Penang, Malaysia. The famous Khoo Kongsi is the grandest clan temple in the country. It is also one of the city's major historic attractions.

It is located in Cannon Square in the heart of the oldest part of the city of George Town, in the midst of narrow, winding lanes and quaint-looking pre-War houses exuding a palpable old world charm.
