In 2012, Penang was named one of the “Top Ten Best Street Food Cities in Asia”; in 2013, it was selected as the world’s fourth most suitable city for retirement. This place, known as the Garden of the East, is divided by the Penang Strait into Penang Island and Seberang Perai, offering 365 days of warm sunshine, lush greenery and vibrant plant life, a variety of tropical fruits and night market snacks for food lovers, a city rich in traditional culture, and the latest forest adventure park waiting for adventurous travelers from around the world to come and play.

The Forest Adventure Theme Park (ESCAPE Adventureplay Theme Park), located on the northwest side of Penang Island, is named ESCAPE with the intention of encouraging people to escape from crowded cities, return to nature, and care for the environment. Since its opening at the end of 2012, the forest adventure theme park has become the newest popular attraction in Penang. Unlike other theme parks, it doesn’t have roller coasters or fairy-tale fantasies. Here, you can simply enjoy exploring nature to your heart’s content.
 
The theme park offers a variety of forest adventure facilities, such as Monkey Business, where you can learn balance by climbing rope nets like a monkey; Atan’s Leap, where you can leap from a tall tower and enjoy the thrill of bungee jumping; Gecko Tower, designed with intricate climbing challenges; Flying Lemur, where you can slide down ropes from great heights and glide freely through the forest, experiencing the thrill of having both feet off the ground; and Tubby Racer, where families can race down the mountain in rubber rings... Some attractions have increasingly difficult levels to conquer, while others are perfect for family fun. Just leave all your tech behind and become a Tarzan for the day if you’ve got the courage!
