Tourists visiting Malaysia should not miss Penang Bridge. It is the largest
bridge in Asia and third largest in the world.It connects the two parts of
Penang state spanning the water dividing Penang Island from the mainland.
The fantastic views of the Straits of Malacca and the coastline of both the
mainland and the island left me speechless.

There are botanical gardens worth exploring in Penang. The botanical garden
at the foot of Penang hill is amazing. The garden is spread in the 30
hectares. There is a large population of the cheeky long tailed macaque and
dusky leafed monkeys.

Butterfly Farm forms a distinct attraction of Malaysia. Set in lush gardens
with a bubbling mud pool, the farm provides a lifetime chance to see more
than 120 different species of butterflies. Not only this, visitors can view
countless tropical insects, spiders, lizards, frogs, snakes in the farm.

The open air Hawker Stall is the ideal place for a gourmet like me to taste
various delicacies. The Penang specialty, Laksa is the hottest selling item
