The Botanical Garden of Penang is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
And the Waterfall stream still runs through the garden, inviting people for a cool dip.

Unfortunately the location of the waterfall is in a water catchment area and out of bounds.
The sign explains the value of this HERITAGE SITE, which " will be restored to its importance as a tourist attraction"
Dated: 1988 .....

To visit the fall, a permit is needed, which can be applied for at the PBA in the Komtar complex.
We have not yet done this ourselves.
