as botanical gardens go, this one was quite simple, small, and pleasant. you could either get on a little open trolley and be driven around, or you could stroll. It was green and lush, but not particularly interesting.

As usual, botanical gardens are always associated with monkeys. Nowadays, they are more daring as they have been coerced by humans to be so. Some of them are daring to intimidate humans. Apart from that, there are a lot of greenery around for nature lovers. But always beware of the tailed 'friends'

It is really amazing, the trees, the flowers, nature in its greatest forms, Very humid and not preferred to be visited at Noon as sun is very strong

The gardens themselves are very pretty but it was so hot we paid 2 MYR to use the electric train that drives around the gardens. We would have liked to have done some walks but it was way too hot for that. The "canon... More
