The gardens occupy a 29 ha. site[1] in a valley described as "an amphitheatre of hills"[9] covered with lush tropical rain-forests. Its lush greenery and tranquil setting makes it a favourite park and a popular tourist destination. It is Penang's unique natural heritage, being the only garden of its kind in Malaysia. As well as being a repository of flora and fauna, unique to the country and to the region, it serves as a "green lung" for metropolitan Penang.[11] As such, the garden is a popular recreational spot; some of the recreational activities include jogging, walking, jungle trekking and aerobics.[1][10]
