Standing proudly: Penang National Park is one of Asia's best by The Star

According to a hotel booking site, international travellers have ranked Penang National Park as one of Asia’s greatest green spaces.

The Penang National Park has made the cut as one of the highest rated parks and green spaces in Asia, according to Agoda.com. An analysis of customer feedback and booking information by Asia’s leading online hotel booking site has revealed eight of the best parks in the region, as ranked by international travellers who have booked accommodation on Agoda.com.

Travellers surveyed loved a wide range of green space options, from lush expanses of jungle to manicured parklands. The list includes huge national parks that are perfect for hiking or outdoor activities, marine parks for diving or kayaking, and green areas in the middle of a city that offer important historical context. All of the entries on the list have left a large enough impression on Agoda.com customers to warrant consistently high ratings.
