ASSALAMUALAIKUM and 
in this post, we want to share to all of you some very interesting placed in Penang. it's called Penang Botanic Gardens
The Penang Botanic Gardens, more popularly known as the "Waterfall
Gardens", was established by the British way back in 1884 from an old
quarry site. The beautiful grounds and the tranquility of the gardens
have long been enjoyed and admired by millions of visitors. Besides
being the arboretum living plants specimens, it is also the seat of
botanical conservation, education and training. The Gardens also play an
important role in the field of horticulture and landscaping
development.
The Gardens were founded in 1884 by Charles Curtis from the Gardens and Forests Departments Straits Settlements. As the first Curator, Curtis was a devoted plant lover who tirelessly transformed the granite quarry into a garden, and greatly contributed to the botanical and horticulture development of the Gardens.
Walking around the Gardens, one cannot miss the Cannon Ball Tree (Couropita guanensis) and the large buttress roots of the Sengkuang Tree (Dracantamelon dao). Look out for the Pinang Palm (Areca catechu) that lent its name to the island of Penang, and the Black Lily (Tacca integrifalia) with its unique purplish-black coloured flowers. The endemic Slipper Orchid (Paphiopedilum barbatum) and the ginger, Geoctachys penangensis, can also be found here.
Look out also for the wildlife inhabiting the gardens. Commonly seen are the long-tailed Macaques, Dusky Leaf Monkeys, Black Giant Squirrels and a myriad of insects and butterflies.
From afar, one could catch a view of the famous waterfall up on the hills above the reservoir.
