Jalan2 Penang...Again! Part III

Botanical Garden
-located at Waterfall Road, it was built in 1884 by the British. The garden are also well-known as Waterfall Garden; as there are a waterfall at the end of the garden with the height of 122m. This garden is the another sanctuary for all , offering fresh air , beautiful lush greenery and a cool hideout!

There are lots of houses of plant; such as cactus house, fern house, and orchid house. While walking through the garden, you'll find various beautiful floras that maybe unknown to you. some of it are not even originated from Malaysia.

The tree at the right photo is the "Cannon Ball" tree. It's native to South America. It has a really beautiful flower and around the trunk it bears the fruit.

People come here to jog as early as 5.00am till late evening. Some other come to just enjoying the green beauty of the garden.

Some facilities available here are recreational or picnic areas, toilets, wheelchair access walkways, bandstand, gazebos, jogging tracks, jungle trails, resting lawns and plant nursery.

There are also a lot of monkey all over the garden. They come from everywhere. "Do not feed the monkey", warned the garden management. But who can resist? They are so cute (the babies..i mean) which encourage people to feed them fruits and nuts and even ice-cream!
