Read part 1 here.
There is a photo area where people can take photos with exotic animals. For example, snakes. Of course we didn't go and take photos... but I did manage to zoom in and snap the two parrots there.
This is the food court (astaka), with an owl-shaped swing beside it. The owl is because there is an owl museum there too.
There are monkey cups on Penang Hill, and I guess these status are a tribute to them.
They recently opened an area for love locks above the food court
Frankly, I find the locks rather ugly. Cheap pink and gold hearts that are sold right there on the spot. Why do people do these things??
Anyway, this is a closer view of the owl swing. It was really hard to get a time when no one else was there taking photos. My father was still wandering around above the astaka, so he didn't get to take a photo.
Beside the astaka, there is also an old train compartment. The brochure says that it is a second-generation train coach, used from 1923 to 1977.
Then there is a pearl oyster and a signboard pointing to different cities in the world (I didn't check whether the arrows were pointing in the right direction)
Going up to where the temple and the mosque are, there is a 32-pounder cannon (so says the brochure).
The mosque.
Restoration works were going on at the temple, so photos of it are rather ugly at the moment and not worth sharing.
We took a break at the astaka and tried some of the ice desserts that every stall seemed to be selling.
We ordered two to share among the four of us; I snapped photos from both sides because it looks totally different.
There is a famous restaurant called David Brown's on the hilltop, advertised as the highest restaurant in Penang. However we almost missed it because we saw the signboard, saw a restaurant and assumed that was it. However it turned out that we needed to climb up higher before we could see the actual restaurant.
On the way up, there was a banner that my father wanted to take a photo with.
The restaurant. A very nice garden indeed.
