Penang Botanic Gardens Lily Pond

Lily Pond, Penang Botanic Gardens (2 August 2011)


Penang Botanic Gardens Lily Pond is a poind on the northern edge of the Penang Botanic Gardens. Not to be confused with the Waterlily Square or Dataran Teratai, the Lily Pond is surrounding by dense greenery of the forest. Visitors to the pond can enjoy the tranquility of nature.

Although the Lily Pond of the Penang Botanic Gardens is man-made, it has been well integrated into its surroundings. There are steps going down from the walkway to the pond itself, and the water flows out of the pond into a drainage canal, to join Sungai Air Terjun.

Jungle path from the Lily Pond to the Gardens (2 August 2011)


Within the Lily Pond are a number of carps and tortoises. They appear relax and happy in the verdant environment. Dragonflies hover on the waterlilies and aquatic plants in the pond, which is shaded by tall trees at the foot of Penang Hill.

The Lily Pond is reached by two jungle paths near the Orchidarium. As you make your way through the paths, you get to enjoy the coolness of the surroundings and enjoy the feel of being in a tropical rainforest.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
