Botanic Gardens: A Hidden Japanese Garden

This miniature Japanese Garden was originally created from an exchange programme between the Penang government and the Itabashi city of Japan in 1994. This mini Japanese Garden, used to represent a symbol of friendship between the two cities, was restored in recent years.

Botanic Gardens: The Hidden Lily Pond

The lily pond within the northern part of the Penang Botanic Gardens can be accessed via two paths (such as one shown below) located near the Orchidarium. The rather hidden pond area also provides a sight of the lush rainforest and the serenity of nature.
