Now that I'm back in KL, it's time to update my blog with pictures I've taken in Penang.
After constantly hearing of the Tropical Spice Garden, I finally found time to visit it together with Joanne. It is a really good place for those interested in photography which explains the number of pictures in this post itself.
It's situated somewhere at the beginning of Teluk Bahang, before the Teluk Bahang town. It's quite a prominent tourist attraction especially among foreginers. Entry free is about 13Rm or 15RM but if you have a student card, it will only cost you 10RM. (the wonders of student card 400km away from college)
The archway made up of creepers.
sunlight amidst lush vegetation
A slow trickling-waterfall
The Tropical Spice Garden is actually a landscaped garden with 3 different types of trail namely Jungle, Spice and Ornamental trail, each with its own distinctive type of vegetation. More unique, it is 'built' on a sloping hill just by the beach.
A large reflective pond
Ornamental tiles provide solid pathways
Stairway to heaven
The garden also consists of several cascading waterfalls, streams and tranquil ponds. All of it, integrated with the exotic floras and foliage creates a great location for photography.
A macro shot of one of the mosaic in the garden
A autumn-looking tree
One of the good things about this place is that it has proper hammocks for sleeping. One can literally sleep here amidst its peacefulness and serenity.
Joanne trying the Tyra Banks pose but failed miserably
Some prehistoric looking caterpillar
conventional ferns looking exotically unique
Joanne on a massively large swing that could generate enough inertia to swing her off
An amazonian landscape
Strange looking hibiscus
Purpleberries.. not
Greens
Spot the not
A disintegrating leaf
Unknown flower with bug
Apart from the garden, there is also a Spice Museum located at the summit of the hill. It also has a restaurant overlooking the Straits of Malacca.
Cumin - one of the many spices on display at the museum
the popular Star Anise
cinnamon

and the pride of Malaysia, black pepper
The visit definitely worth the 10 bucks.
