Penang Botanic Gardens

The Penang Botanic Gardens lie on Jalan Air Terjun at the foot of Penang Hill, on George Town's western edge. Laid out by the British in 1884 on a former granite quarry under its first curator Charles Curtis, the 29-hectare gardens are also called the Waterfall Gardens after a nearby cascade and form part of the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve.
