Penang Botanic Gardens

Also known as Waterfall Gardens, it was founded by the British in 1884 from an old granite quarry site. It lies in a valley, at the foot of 366 ft jungle clad hills, bound by tropical rain forests, divided by a cascading stream that meanders through 29 hectares of prime and undulating grounds.

A place to find your inner state of relaxed, peaceful grounds. I like to have a small picnic here. Bring a mat, some food, and choose a location that doesn't have insects. Make sure to clean up after!

Reward yourself after sweating off some pounds by having a controlled portion of asam laksa (rm3) by a nice Indian uncle and ends with a yummy but expensive ice cream potong (rm2- small cone ).. Nice

Great place to get outdoor and sweat it out. Suitable for all walks of life. Monkeys can get aggressive if they are provoked. A green lung for George Town. My favourite running ground.

Dangerous monkey in botanic garden . Don't bring any food or drinks into botanic garden and prepare your self a long umbrella

The breeze near the waterfall after a rainy day is so refreshing.

For nature lovers. Those who want to leisurely see the entire garden without being tired, take the tram for 2MYR.

Try to ride a bicycle to the peak@Bukit Bendera..For only 5km distance, but the energy lost much more than cycling at Gunung Jerai..
