Air Hitam Dalam Educational Forest

Air Hitam Dalam Educational Forest (18 July 2015)


Air Hitam Dalam Educational Forest, or Hutan Pelajaran Air Hitam Dalam, is a protected marshland in Sungai Dua, Seberang Perai Utara. It was named after the nearby Sungai Air Hitam, a tributary of Sungai Perai.

I visited this area over ten years ago. There were already walkways when I visited, but if I remember correctly, the walkway at that time was wooden. I heard some time back that Air Hitam Dalam Educational Forest had closed. I didn't know that it has since reopened, and in fact, had reopened for a number of years.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
