The Habitat: Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk

habitatC01

As the main attraction of The Habitat at Penang Hill, the Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk features breathtaking views atop the rainforest hill of Penang island. It provides an elevated walkway and a 360 degrees viewing platform above the trees (with a height of 13 meters from the ground), offering the highest panoramic view of the island. Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk was named after Charles Curtis, the first British superintendent of the Penang Botanic Gardens and who is also a botanist himself.

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.
