  • Kuala Lumpur Eco Forest Park, adjacent to KL Tower or “KL Menara” was once called Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve and remains the only Forest reserve within the city of Kuala Lumpur. The Forest covers an area of over 110,000 square meters. The original Bukit Nanas Forest was established in 1906, and was turned into an eco park. Visitors can hike through trails, bridges and overlooks and take in some oxygen - a welcome change from the surrounding polluted city. A favorite attraction is Canopy Walk, a series of long suspension bridges overlooking the Forest below.

  • Murou Art Forest is a feast for the eyes in a remote location of Nara Prefecture.  This outdoor sculpture and modern Japanese garden is found in Muro Village.  It is filled with giant sculptures designed by the Israeli sculptor Dani Karavan in 2006.  The designer, Karavan, is known for his amazing and monumental landscapes. Karavan gained international recognition for placing extraordinary art works in public places so he was a perfect choice to turn this area into an art trail - the theme of which is to bring nature and art together.  The first sculpture the Spiral Bamboo Forest with an entrance surrounded by bamboo trees with metal spiral stairs leading deep into the ground.  Afterwards, the path leads to the undulating Spiral Canal - a channel to that is a protection from rain.  Next on the trail is Sun Island, a circular staircase tower where the sunlight creates a thin line of bright light. It is in the middle of a pond though you can walk to the top.  The next scenic architecture is Stage Island with a circular wooden stage in the middle of another pond complete with a semicircle of seats - a great spot for outdoor performances. Then there is Pyramid Island, which is a large metal triangle in the pond near Stage Island. It is split right down the center making it two separate triangles. The last man-made island in the park is For the Birds which is simply trees and grass and not intended for park visitors, but as its name implies, it is “for the birds” underscoring the theme of harmony with nature.

  • Murou Art Forest is a feast for the eyes in a remote location of Nara Prefecture.  This outdoor sculpture and modern Japanese garden is found in Muro Village.  It is filled with giant sculptures designed by the Israeli sculptor Dani Karavan in 2006.  The designer, Karavan, is known for his amazing and monumental landscapes. Karavan gained international recognition for placing extraordinary art works in public places so he was a perfect choice to turn this area into an art trail - the theme of which is to bring nature and art together.  The first sculpture the Spiral Bamboo Forest with an entrance surrounded by bamboo trees with metal spiral stairs leading deep into the ground.  Afterwards, the path leads to the undulating Spiral Canal - a channel to that is a protection from rain.  Next on the trail is Sun Island, a circular staircase tower where the sunlight creates a thin line of bright light. It is in the middle of a pond though you can walk to the top.  The next scenic architecture is Stage Island with a circular wooden stage in the middle of another pond complete with a semicircle of seats - a great spot for outdoor performances. Then there is Pyramid Island, which is a large metal triangle in the pond near Stage Island. It is split right down the center making it two separate triangles. The last man-made island in the park is For the Birds which is simply trees and grass and not intended for park visitors, but as its name implies, it is “for the birds” underscoring the theme of harmony with nature.

  • The black scorpion Heterometrus longimanus of the Scorpionidae family. This type is usually identified as the Asian forest scorpion, typically found in tropical Asian regions. Black scorpions typically live under rocks or logs and though they spend a lot of time above ground, preying on insects for food. Asian forest scorpions are often confused with ordinary black scorpions or Malaysian forest scorpions Heterometrus spinifer. The two are similar but they are distinct species.<br />
Black scorpions' venom is usually not lethal but packs a strong sting.  A black scorpion is large, often around 10 cm in length.

  • The Shiratani Unsuikyo Ravine is a lush nature park containing many of Yakushima island's ancient cedars.  The park offers a network of hiking trails that run along the ravine varying in length from one to five hours long, though many prefer to choose their own routes among the paths. The trails vary in difficulty from basic footpaths to developed paved paths using stone and wood.  One of the main attractions of Shiratani Unsuikyo is a part of the forest that served as the inspiration for the Studio Ghibli animated film Princess Mononoke. Oga Kazuo, the lead artist for the film, spent lots of time here working on sketches for the movie's forests.  Besides the ancient cedar trees, some of them thousands of years old, the continually wet microclimate protects the cedars by enabling them to produce more than usual resin,  It also is an ideal climate for moss, which grows everywhere here.
