# Light House 灯塔

Light House 灯塔

One of the most interesting building in Penang  that 90% of Penangist doesn't know. 

Light house located at the north west of Penang Island.  It is just about National Park of Penang.  The entrance location is Teluk Bahang.  It is the must go place for hiker. 

百分之九十槟城居民也都没去过的地方， 它就是灯塔，这灯塔位于西北部，国家公园就是入口处，喜欢远足的朋友一定要到的地方。

National Park toward Light House.



There are stepping tones along the way to the Light House. Shady and greenery along the path.  You wouldn't be feeling hot at all. The jouney take you about 2 hours and 30 minutes.  You are advisable to bring enough drinking water and foods. 

这就是朝向灯塔的小径，一块块的石梯，阴凉和翠绿让大家感到轻松愉快，大约两小时半的行程，请大家准备足够的水和食物。

The ligh house is open everyday from 9am to 2pm only. It is applicable to Public holiday and Sunday and advisable to check at the counter of national park office before departure. Food with Non-Halal is not allow to bring into the light house.  The interior of light light is amazing. You may discover that all structures are well protected and you may easy to recognize that it was builded base on British architecture.
灯塔开放时间是早上九点至下午两点，星期日和公假须到询问处确认，猪肉食品禁止带入。 灯塔内部古色古香，英殖民气息浓厚。

  Inside the building, it is cooling and bright.  There are 3 stories and consist of office at the ground floor.  Walk along the narrow spiral shape staircase to reach 1st floor with viewing section, see below picture.  3rd floor is the light area as shown above picture.
灯塔共有三层高，中层有瞭望台，上层是灯照玻璃窗。

     

 360  degree viewing area is the most interesting area to take a  rest after long journey of hiking.  This is the place to enjoy scenery of serounding, windy and panoramic view of Indian Ocean. It is also the home of white head eagle, birds, snake and many others animal are living here.  I feel very peaceful and clear mind.  While having your lunch, enjoy the song of nature.

360 度的瞭望台是重点，经过漫长的徒步也该休息的时候，辽阔的印度洋， 凉风徐徐吹在脸庞，感觉美妙极乐，心灵平静和清醒，这里也是白头老鹰和其他动物的家乡，最美妙的时刻是享受午餐的当儿欣赏到大自然界的旋律。

This is a very meaningful visit that I will never forget.
Light house lead the way for thousand of ships past through Strait of Malacca a hundred year ago till now.
It is also sign of hope for hundreds of fisherman who coming home from the sea. The light is telling them their family is waitng for their return.
It keep memory of Malaysian for the past histories.
It show the strength eventhough working for more then a century.
It show me a lesson that life is still go on regardless rainning and shinning.....be strong.

I will return here again and again.

这是个很有意义和难忘的旅程。

百年前至今这灯塔曾经领航过千万只渡过马六甲海峡的商船。

它是渔夫的希望因为灯塔告诉渔夫们妻儿在等待回家。

它也见证和记录了马来西亚的历史。

它很坚强屹立了世纪还不倒。

它是我的榜样，不管风吹雨打，生命要坚强持续不倒。

我还会一而三的再来。
