For a green retreat within the city, head for the Lake Gardens with seventy hectares of magnificent trees and flowering plants. The main attraction here is the Tasik Perdana or Premier Lake. Apart from the lake, you’ll also find the Bird Park, a massive walk in aviary containing about 200 species of birds; the Orchid Garden, which boasts more than 800 species of flowers and the walk-in Butterfly Park with more than 6,000 butterflies flitting around in a natural habitat.
Here you’ll also find the Parliament House - the National Monument built to commemorate those who died in the struggle against Communist insurgency in the 1950’s, and the Cenotaph erected by the British in honor of those who died in the two World Wars.
