A trail guide to "Glasshouse" at Sungai Ara which is rather long at around 10km round-trip but the scenery is well worth the effort. Road surface is 95% asphalt so walking shoes should suffice - no need for trekking shoes. Starting point is just beside Sri Subramaniar Temple Sungai Ara, Jalan Kenari. The first 2 kilometers are almost flat accompanied with sound of a small river on the right. After that will reach a 2-way split - we unknowingly used the longer route (Dark Forest Trail) after asking a cyclist but it was scenic tho. The latter half of the trail is when it starts to get steep till the summit. At the top, it really has amazing views. After we had our fill, we went down the shorter route (12 Corners Trail) and made a brief stop at "Carpet Hill" before descending all the way down to Jalan Kenari with tired legs.
NOTE : The road is shared by cars, small trucks, motorcyclists, cyclists and dogs - please be mindful of your surroundings and move to the side of the road for them to pass. And DO NOT TRESPASS closed gates and risk getting mauled by angry doggies gang.

Being a born and bred Penang unker, I thought it would be fun if the narration be spoken in Penang Hokkien which has a mixture of hokkien, english and malay. It has a unique blend and tone but is sadly going kaput soon. Although my hokkien is campur-campur and not pure (hor ee khee), I hope that this video will contribute to the collection of Penang hokkien videos on KZitem and I will try to make more in the future.
