There are monkeys in the park but it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see other animals. However, the overall trail is not too long and the weather is comfortable and cooler, so it is suitable for a slow walk.

The Penang 3D Trick Art Museum is a fun and affordable way to spend an hour or two. The 3D art is impressive, and the ticket price is reasonable. Great for unique photos!
