Also known as the Batu Ferringhi waterfall due to its connection to the Sunghai Batu Ferringhi river, the gorgeous Chin Farm waterfall is located on the island of Penang. The beautiful waterfall drops vertically down forming a small stream between the rocks at the base. There is a Chinese temple called Chin Waterfall Lam Thean Mui Temple close to this place. At the base of the waterfall is also a Chin Farmhouse offering fantastic views of Penang. As the waterfall has clear spring water, it is often consumed by the Chin Farm for its activities. The little stream forming at the bottom of the waterfall has small fishes swimming in it. The Datuk Kong shrine at the site is where locals and tourists park their vehicles before beginning their short hike up to the alluring waterfall. There are cement steps provided for most of the hike to get to the top of the rocks. You can go for a dip in the water or just sit close by and admire the butterflies and dragonflies. This small waterfall at the edge of the jungle is a wonderful and slightly undiscovered attraction amongst the locals and tourists. Read More

The Teluk Bahang Dam, constructed in 1999, is the largest and the closest dam to the sea located in the Northern area of Penang, Malaysia. The dam is an excellent location to see some calm waters and beat the Penang heat. The pathway is usually not crowded, offering breathtaking views of the lake and the northern coast of the island making it a very picturesque place for photoshoots. It is a few minutes’ drive from the Teluk Bahang fishermen village. The road to get to this wonderful dam passes via the lovely Teluk Bahang recreational forest and Penang butterfly farm. You can get to the top of this reservoir with the help of the steps provided at the centre that leads to a long broad path. You can see a few regular locals exercising and jogging but apart from that the dam is unexplored. You can enjoy a beautiful and scenic drive or bicycle on the road surrounding the lake. The dam hosts an exciting annual dragon boat racing festival when the dam is completely open to all tourists. Read More

Situated in Georgetown, the Teluk Bahang Forest Reserve is an 873 hectare forest reserve and park with extensive trees and beautiful rainforests. It is a quiet ideal getaway from the city’s monotonous life to soak in the glory of nature. There is also a small Teluk Bahang recreational eco park for locals and visitors to spend some time in the green environment. The forest reserve has five main trails mapped to make the excursion easier. The longest trail is the Penang hill forest challenge 15.5 kms all the way up to Penang hill that offers some fantastic views. The Ridge Top trail too has some breathtaking views of Teluk Bahang while the Simpoh Gajra trail passes through the dense jungle and the uphill trek of the Charcoal Kiln trail leads up to a 1950s charcoal kiln.

There are no guides or guided-tours available to explore the wilderness but you can find leaflets and pamphlets with mapped out trails for visitors to hike at the ranger’s office at the park entrance.
