PENANG BOTANIC GARDENS
This is the pride of the Penangites, their tropical Bois de Boulogne created in 1884 by Charles Curtis on the site of an old quarry. The whole area, including the tarmac roads, is immaculately clean. The garden includes a 30-hectare domesticated tropical forest divided into 12 sectors. Orchids, ferns, bamboos and cacti stand side by side with century-old trees. Monkeys used to be a major attraction, but due to their numbers and aggressiveness, park rangers are trying to contain them at the entrance to the park. It is now forbidden to feed them.
