Although Cat Tien National Park suffered from chemical bombs during the Vietnam War, the forest has very much recovered. Today it is one of the few parks in Southeast Asia that still holds the near-extinct Javan rhinoceros. It also has some 360 species of birds, attracting bird watchers from all over the world. In addition, Cat Tien National Park has some 440 species of butterflies.
In addition to the natural heritage, Cat Tien National Park has been discovered to hold cultural relics. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that it used to be a pilgrimage site during the Funan and Champa period, as ancient religious artifacts have been found there.
Let me take you to explore and discover Penang through my series of walking tours on YouTube. You may use these videos as your virtual tour guide. At the beginning of each video, I provide the starting point coordinates which you may key into your GPS, Google Maps or Waze, to be navigated to where I start the walk, and use the video as your virtual tour guide.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
