Penang's Miniature Grand Canyon

A butte rising out of the landscape at Penang's miniature Grand Canyon (22 August 2015)


Penang's Miniature Grand Canyon (GPS: 5.40694, 100.50075) is a place in Bukit Langkap, Berapit. The fissures in the wasteland have created a terrain similar to what you would see at the Grand Canyon. My wife and I came across the landscape when we were on our way to Suling Hill. Although all is in miniature, you can see here a canyon with a river having carved into it, with buttes rising abruptly.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
