Penang Hill: A Journey Through Time

MYR 95.00

PENANG HILL exudes a charm that is hard to quantify. For most of its history, its highest ridges were the preserve of the rich and privileged, while its slopes were cleared for cloves, nutmeg and coffee plantations. Perhaps its restricted access has been its saviour. Although its summit was conquered with both a road and a railway, neither of those, nor world wars, financial crises and neglect dampened its charm, creating a unique pearl at the heart of Penang. Today, we are faced by an explosion in the number of visitors to the Hill, enjoying its unique character. Yet there is an extraordinary lack of accurate information about the Hill, its history and its heritage. Now, more than ever, there is an increasing need to safeguard its treasures, its water catchments, and the forests that play an important role in the climate of Penang. This richly illustrated book is both a labour of love and a guide to the wonders of Penang Hill. It is essential reading for all, from policy makers and planners concerned for its future, to its residents, habitués and casual visitors.
