Botanical Garden

The Botanic Gardens on Penang are located at the end of Waterfall Road, about 8 kilometres from the Georgetown city centre.



It even has penang bridge in the park!..


The Gardens came to existence in 1884. Previously it was an old granite quarry. The the Gardens were known as "the Waterfall Gardens", because at the end of the Botanic Gardens is a
122-metre high cascade waterfall with its water flowing through the Gardens.



Some of the plants you can find in the park..no idea what it's call... but it look nice

Its lush greenery and tranquil setting makes it a favourite park and a popular tourist attraction. It is Penang's unique natural heritage, being the only one of its kind in Malaysia. Besides, being a repository of flora & unique to the country and to the region, it serves as a "green lung" for Metropolitan Penang.
