Penang Spice Garden

It was first time visit there, and to be honest, it is quite expensive. It cost RM14 for the tickets and there's no discounted rate for the locals, unlike Penang Butterfly Farm or even Penang Bird Park, which offers 50% discount rate.

Anyhow, the place were scaped beautifully, with jungle-trail feel and informative signboards of spices around the country. There were steep climb, water trail, small rivers, man-made ponds, and few nature feature which i find there to be peaceful and calming. I would love to visit there again, and have relaxing time IF the rate will be cheaper.. The garden offers lots of close-up opportunity particularly with the abstract shots, different kind of flowers, leave's textures and contrast, and many more.. Good place to practice composition skills..

Here's some shot that i took over there:

By the way, any Penangnites or friends from overseas who will visit Penang, i do recommend few of this places, especially for photographers.
