Famed for its outstanding scenery and heritage, Penang charms visitors from far and wide. But its best kept secret probably lies in a discreet corner where nature thrives.

This 1,265-hectare site became a National Park in 2003. Over 1,000 plant species have been documented here.

Being so close to Georgetown, the wealth of flora and fauna seems more remarkable, as habitats include a rare meromictic lake where fresh water and sea water meet.
