Lower Station — Middle Station

The best views are from the Middle Station.
The Penang Hill Railway previously consisted of two separate funiculars, see comments below.
Following reconstruction in 2010, both segments were merged.
Pictured is a unique S-curve that connects the two old segments of the line.
The Kek Lok Si Temple and funicular are visible on the right:

Самые лучшие виды октрываются от Middle Station (Средняя станция).
"Железная дорога Пенанг-Хилл" раньше состояла из двух отдельных фуникулеров, см. комментарии ниже.
После реконструкции в 2010 году, оба участка были объединены.
На фото уникальная S-образная кривая, соединяющая два ранее отдельных участка линии.
Справа виден храм Кек Лок Си, где также работает фуникулёр:
