Travelers find Penang a full of interesting and romantic things to do, many of them conveniently accessible on foot. At the Butterfly Farm in Penang you'll be surrounded by a myriad of fluttering butterflies within a seemingly natural setting. Also enjoy a quiet stroll at Penang Botanic Gardens, popularly known as "Waterfall Gardens." The Esplanade separates the Padang from the beach and stretches from City Hall at one end to a municipal outdoor market at the other. It's a pleasant and uncrowded stretch of lighted pedestrian walkway less than a kilometer long and makes for a perfect dusk or evening stroll. Kek Lok Si is Southeast Asia's largest Buddhist temple, perched against a hill slope in Air Itam. The Pulau Payar Marine Park is a great day trip from Penang, a colorful underwater world that waits for you to explore. Weld Quay is an irresistible visual composition of what Penang was and is: a seaport and a waterfront stretch of turn-of-the-century shipping offices with their huge godowns at the rear.
