Mount Erskine (Chinese: 白云山, Penang Hokkien: Pek Hoon Sua, Malay: Bukit Erskine) is a township in the northeastern part of Penang Island, Malaysia. It sees more activity during the Qingming Festival due to the presence of its cemeteries dating from the early 19th century.[1]
More recently, the top of Mount Erskine has been flattened to make way for the construction of condominiums.[2]
