Cheap Travel - Penang: War Museum

Like an unsung hero, this is one of the less known place in Penang in spite of the experience and knowledge it can offer.

Started as British Fortress in 1930, Bukit Maung then transformed into a Japanese army base with a dark history, filled with stories of how prisoners were tortured there. After the fallen of Japanese army in 1945, Bukit Maung was abandoned by the locals because of its black history.

After several years of restoration, the fortress was turned into the War Museum some decades later. A slow walk through the fortress will fire the imagination on what once was. A simple, but no less remarkable section of crawling through some of the underground tunnels – one even leads all the way to the sea, acting as an access tunnel to get to submarines – forces one to walk, or even crawl through very narrow, confined places.

As the area is quite big, 2 hours here might be enough for you to walk and climb the stairs that abound on this hill. Proper signages and information about the artifacts are clearly displayed here. As it can be quite humid and hot during the day, remember to bring along a cap to protect your head from the heat of the day. Wear a comfortable shoes and have insect repellant ready to ward off the mosquitoes as you move deeper into the hill.
