There’s little if not no difference between this paid admission (RM2/adult) Taman Botani and the Taiping lake garden. Obviously the latter is the winner. If you’ve been to Penang Botanical Garden, you’ll probably be greatly disappointed with this one. The facade and the open compound near the bridge were impressive, the rest of the park was not well kept. We’re told the information brochure ‘habis’ (finished) when ask for one. No fauna to be seen (not even a squirrel) while we spent 40mins exploring around the park in the morning hours. The place is fairly clean and somewhat felt a bit eerie/ unsafe as we walked further away (the whole park was just me and my wife, and of course a few workers near the gate). Certain stretch of the trails (off tarred road) can be slippery and user unfriendly. This Taman is definitely NOT the place for student/ teacher/researcher to learn about fauna and flora as no educational material available, at least not now.

I arrived at 10 am and was allowed free entry by the security guard since the personnel at the ticket counter were unavailable to collect the RM2 entrance fee. My visit to this beautiful garden was an educational experience. I took my time reading the labels on most of the plants and trees as I strolled along the path. However, some plots had nothing planted despite having labels, which left me feeling a bit confused. Still, the garden was mostly empty, making it feel like I was walking through a quiet jungle, though the sounds of workers using chainsaws and leaf blowers occasionally interrupted the peace. Be aware that mosquitoes are quite prevalent here, so it's wise to come prepared if you plan to visit.

A beautiful place ruined, especially on our second visit, by an army of noxious-smelling leaf-blowers and deafening weed-whackers who descend on the park during the early morning when you hope to hear birds and experience nature. The park was nice, though. I just wish they had more intelligent management that takes into consideration that people who come here like peace and tranquility. Interesting birds seen on our first visit: Lineated Barbet (1st photo), Racket-tailed Drongo, and Crimson-winged Woodpecker. By the way, the Macaque in the second photo charged at my wife very aggressively. We were on the path and didn't provoke him at all. So beware if you take the left path after the bridge and rotunda.

It’s my first time here . RM2 entrance fee. The garden not very big. Limited pedestrian walkway. There’s another guard house with guard at the end of the garden. When my halfway back to the main gate the guard suddenly come to check whether I’m safe or not with his motorbike . Luckily I’m not abandoned alone here hahahah. But I’m so so so lucky , I saw two giant hornbill on my way back ! It’s my first time seeing such a big hornbill especially when they fly I could hear the wing flapping just like flapping on my face ! 😂 anyway it’s a great experience to explore this garden .

Taiping is famous for its magnificent lakes and gardens view. You may want to visit the new spot botanical garden where you can take a slow morning walk along the trail while appreciating the greenery view, fresh air, positive ions, various sound of insects, small animals, different types of trees and plants. It is a cooling, refreshing, relaxing and quiet new place to explore. Although there are still rooms to improve and enhance, what can you expect more from the nature but the natural environment? Worth to explore.

It’s nice place to walk , esp. Monday afternoon, I walk alone in this park and spend leisure time alone, with 1-2 garden officers , just pay2MYR at the gate then enjoy my time , walking along the 3 themed lamans , there is also walking trails up/down hill with dense rainforest but it’s too hot; so be prepared with umbrella, sunscreen and bottle of water for staying hydrated.
