After a full day of exploration and adventuring, it is nice to take a day off and spend it amongst the tranquil parks and gardens of Penang. Escape the heat of the city by heading uphill for cool temperatures or go for a walk with locals at their favoured park. Be rewarded doubly by hiking through a forest and ending up on a beach. Or if you are a casual botanist, learn more about local herbs, spices and fruits through inspiringly designed gardens and farms. An off day in Penang might be as rewarding as it is relaxing.
