Monkeycup@Penang Hill

Penang


Weird and wonderful nepenthes (Monkey Cup) species from around the world are planted in this mossy garden. The guides will explain how these carnivorous plants feed on insects. It's a nice location on Penang Hill to go for a walk, or a ride on one of the electric buggies; there's also a cafe.
