Assalamualaikum, hye readers.. Since I was back from my class tour in Penang Island, I like to share to you a little be my experience in Penang Butterfly Farm and Teluk Bahang. When I was in my first semester in 2011, my group and I had a wonderful trip assignment which need us to go for a vacation. After discussing, we choosed Teluk Bahang and Penang Butterfly Farm as our trip destination. The trip was indeed worth it as we managed to explore some places that we have not been at all. Penang is a big place you know :)
We gone through a series of head spinning and curving mountain roads along Batu Ferringhi before reaching the destination. For your information, Teluk Bahang is a fishing village situated on the northwestern part of Penang Island in Malaysia. We gone through a series of head spinning and curving mountain roads along Batu Ferringhi before reaching the destination.
Once reached the place, our we are excited to enter the entrance where the ticket counter was located.

For your acknowledgment, this butterfly farm is the world 1st tropical live butterfly and insect sanctuary! Can you believe this? Maybe it's not the world first but it is the world first in tropical region! It was opened to the public in March 1986, which is about 16 years of history by now!
If you think that it is all about butterflies only in a butterfly farm then perhaps you are wrong! Besides this beautiful insect, there are a lot more to see! At one corner inside the farm, the disgusting giant millipedes are shown to the public.
Info about Penang Butterfly Farm
The farm is home to up to 3,000 living specimens of over 50 species of colourful and charming butterflies. Situated on an area of eight hectares, it is the world's first tropical live butterfly farm.
Apart from butterflies, there are also frogs, scorpions and other insects here living in their natural habitat. The beauty of the place is enhanced by the existence of a lily pond, a rock garden, several artificial waterfalls and a bubbling mud pool. Other attractions at the farm include a breeding area, laboratory, exhibition area, souvenir shops and an information centre.
