About Red Postboxes Penang Hill

The Red Postboxes on Penang Hill are charming and fully functional relics of the British colonial era. These iconic, cast-iron pillar boxes, painted in the distinctive bright red of the British postal service, were installed when Penang Hill was developed as a hill station and retreat for the colonial administrators. Finding these historic post boxes still in use at the summit is a delightful surprise for many visitors.

They are not just museum pieces but are a tangible and working link to the hill's colonial past. Posting a postcard or a letter from one of these high-altitude, heritage postboxes has become a popular and unique tourist activity, offering a chance to send a piece of Penang's history to friends and family across the globe.
