Hey everyone ๐, Whats up!
Today's journey I'm going to share with you, my another exciting day out in Penang Island ๐.
A day before I took a night stand in George Town ( capital of Penang Island)and visited there. And I didn't get a chance to explore other areas here . Also I wanted to visit the popular places in Penang Island, not only the Capital city. So I hired a car ๐ from George Town in the morning and it took me 45 to arrive main Penang Island๐.
Kek Lok Si Temple ( Tamilian Hindu Temple ๐ ) in Bukit Bendera, that I came crossed by one the way of George Town to main island๐. And it is a wonderful Temple with fine and colourful sculptural artwork. See carefully you may find how beautiful these works are.
I also found a beautiful old mosque ๐ on the way and took photos ๐ท.
Masjid Negeri Pulau Penang The door was closed, so I took a photo of the side front view over the door.Isn't it beautiful!! ๐
This is used for Government purposes. I didn't remember the name๐. So I can call it Chinese watchTowerโ.
Here is another beautiful Chinese shrine. It was closing time so I couldn't enter and took a photo from outside. But you can see the decoration how neat and colourful it is!!
On the way I stopped near a shopping mall to see something interesting ๐ค. Penang is a mixed cultural state and Chinese New Year is coming soon. So every street here is decorated with Chinese theme ๐. Red coloured Chinese lamps were the main focus.
See the Megatron and Bumblebee of Transformer movie, now in ChinaTown in Penang Island.
I found this white flowers ๐and artwork in a Tamilian flower shop in Penang Island. It is a very common flower here. People buy this every morning to Worship their God. And Tamilian ladies use it to decorate their hair and it's traditional for them.
I also stopped at Penang Hill in Bukit Bendera to visit there. It's located just five miles west of George Town. Up here, it's a whole other world ๐. I heard there are many beautiful spots there like Entopia Butterfly Farm, Tropical Spice Garden, beautiful mountains, long green Bridge and there is a long cable car ride to get there. But I visit there at wrong time.I didn't know it's closed because of Chinese New Year celebration๐.
This is the Entry of Penang Hill, behind me there is Chinese New Year decorations ๐.
I didn't have other plan and I wanted to go back to my hotel ๐จ๐ช๐ฉ. But my car driver told me there is another beautiful place nearby and if I want, he is ready to take me there. So I decided to go there.
My visit to Penang Botanic Garden:
l must say one of the places worth mentioning in Penang is the Botanic Gardens๐. It's located at Jalan Kebun Bunga (literally translated to Flower Garden Road). It's Malaysia's ๐ฒ๐พ only Botanic garden and boasting an amazing and panoramic landscape view ๐โค.
There are also few animals here that I crossed by on my way and clicked some photos:
Sweet monkeys ๐. I did feed one of them.
Green turtle ๐ข was swimming in the lily pond.
In the middle of this garden there were many unique unknown flowers ๐. I found it very mesmerising. So I didn't miss taking some photos.
Beautiful purple dwarf water lily ๐
I found these unknown multiple colourful flowers but didn't know the name๐
It took me almost 5 hours to visit there. It is a great spot for a jog or stroll with friends and family. Also food here is very expensive and I brought my food. But if anyone wants to taste their food๐. There are options available in some restaurants in this park.
I spend my morning ๐and afternoon time here. Then I headed to airport to catch my flight โ๏ธ to Kuala Lumpur City.
