The Botanical Gardens offer peace and tranquility amidst
lush green surroundings, tropical plants and the vibrant
colors of Penang's flora. The 30 hectare garden also features

Created in 1884 by the British, it was meant as a tribute
to Charles Curtin, its first superintendent who collected
botanical specimens which have since become significant
samples in the world's major herbariums. The gardens are
also well-known for thier bold Rhesus monkeys.
