Fortress Hill Penang

Fortress Hill Penang is a hill located in the Paya Terubong / Air Itam area. Its name suggests a possible historical military significance, perhaps as a strategic lookout point or a site for a defensive structure in the past, although this may not be widely known. Today, it is mostly known to the local community as a place for recreational hiking and enjoying nature. The trails on the hill would offer a good workout and provide hikers with scenic views of the surrounding dense urban landscape of Paya Terubong Valley. It is one of the many hills on the island that serve as important green lungs and recreational spaces for the city's residents.
