Batu Ferring is just a beach zone, and there are no attractions and special entertainment here. However, you can always go to the neighboring Tell Bahang, which is within a walking distance from the beach. And this is what exactly can be visited and what to do in this area:
Tropical Penang Spice Garden
Located a little away from Tell Bahanga Tropical Garden - this is eight jungle, where it grows up to 500 types of flora and fauna. This is the only garden of tropical spices in Southeast Asia and, moreover, a good place for the whole family. Three trails running through the garden offer a 20-45 minute mini-trip through waterfalls, trees and structures from recycled organic materials. Each area of the park is separate collections of plants, spices and herbs, aquatic plants and jungle plants. In addition, guests (and especially children) can try their strength in the preparation of Malaysian dishes in culinary school - naturally, using grown herbs and spices. And, if you were hungry, go to Tree Monkey Restaurant, which serves Asia-Thai cuisine, and where the unsurpassed view of the bay.Farm Butterfly Penang
The farm opened in 1986 is one of Penang's most famous and popular attractions. Eight hectares of the park are impressive with a variety of collections of butterflies and other insects (more than 4,000 butterflies). The farm is at the foot of the hills, between the park Taman Rimba and the village of Teluk Bahang. In this "living museum" live and super-exotic types of butterflies, such as Raja Brooke, plus up to 300 species of plants. There is here the same Farm of tropical fruit - 25 acres of organic garden with more than 250 kinds of fruit, including Durian and Barbados cherry. Take the opportunity to try delicious fruits and freshly squeezed fruit juices!
Bachik factory
Founded in 1973, a factory in Teluk Bahanga is one of the largest manufacturers of the batik handmade in the country. Visitors can not only observe the process of producing a batik, but also to try their strength in this art. And, of course, buy a couple of scarves for memory.Art Gallery Yakhong
This is, just that is in our Batu Ferring. This art gallery is the largest center of art and crafts on Penang. In the four sections of the gallery, works of Malaysian and Asian artists are exhibited: paintings, objects of crafts, batik and decoration and antiques. In addition, the gallery can also see other deserving exhibits, among which the Sarawak staff, the leadership figurines, the exquisite Chinese Klozone (this is when the copper jugs apply enamel and paint colorfully), Chinese tiles and much more. In addition, it would be great to get on the batik's creation demonstration.
FLEE SIXTY ROOM ESCAPE
This, in general, the quest room, which during his existence managed to earn a huge love of tourists. The creators offer five options for "escape" with search for evidence and puzzle solutions. Such games are ideal for friends and family, you can play a team of 2 - 6 players. Entertainment is available 365 days a year and 7 days a week!Address: Lot 415, Jalan Batu Ferringhi, near Bora-Bora
Bar Restaurant "Bora Bora"
Bora Bora by Sunset was opened in 2011 on the site of the former Sunset Bistro, which burned down at the beginning of the same year. His reincarnation, a good beach club, had an amazing success. It would be more: a large shady bar from almost the edge of the water, with umbrellas and a large platform where you can sit down to watch the charming sunsets of Ferring. From noon until midnight, they come here to quench thirst or pour into alcoholic cocktails, eat, dance to reggae music. If you want to class a place to fall there before sunset, it is better to come here to five in the evening - then everything will be busy (and the sun in these parts, as a rule, sits from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, depending on the time of year).
Night market
This market is located between Golden Sands and Rasa Sayang. Well, it seems that it is revealed more for tourists than for local residents. The market is small, the kiosks are set to about 7 pm. For the most part, hours and T-shirts are sold here, but there are different souvenirs - it seems that everything is brought from China, and no traditional objects of crafts and arts. Therefore, it is certainly worth bargaining. For example, a "branded" wallet can be grabbed for 40 ringgitis (although the initially requested price will most likely be about 100 ringgitis). So, you can always knock off the price twice, if not more. Look at the bags - there are very worthy options!
Beach Batu Ferring
We will be honest: this is not the best beach in the world and not the cleanest, but it is long and also here you can enjoy water sports and water entertainment at quite adequate prices. For example, contact the East Wind Watersports Sport Center. And the beach surrounds numerous cafes and restaurants. It is not always safe to swim in the ocean due to jellyfish, but the shores put several small fenced zones for a safe bathing.
Spa "Chi"
Nothing compares with a relaxing massage after riding water skiing or long swimming in the water. Massage rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, with a separate shower. Massage sessions are somewhat more expensive than elsewhere in the neighborhood, however, and quality! Salon is located at the Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa.Zen Reflexology & Wellness Center Spa
This variant in quality and purity is somewhat inferior to the "Chi" salon, however, and here you can look here. Look for a salon in Ferringhi Plaza.
SPA Center "Pure Energy Spa"
But this is a very good option: silence, pleasant background music and aroma of lemon grass. Salon is located at the Lone Pine Hotel.
"Adventure Zone"
It is almost 1000 square meters of an indoor playground with three slides and several sections with toys and other children's dooms. And here there are free daily programs for living in a hotel, so if parents have any plans, they will not be bored. The Children's Center is located at Golden Sands Resort.
