MBI Desaku Park - Fairy Tale Garden 
MBI Desaku Park, Kulim, Kedah, Malaysia - March 2019
During a cycling tour of the Northern States of Peninsular Malasia; we managed to visit a beautiful park at the outskirts of Kulim, called MBI Desaku! This park, is very well done up and is spread out in the various gardens of a residential development.
The best time to visit is during dusk when the colourfully lit displays are at their best against a dark blue background changes to black as night sets in. The park is divided into several themed sections, this is the section showing the Fairy Tale Garden. Enjoy!

From the Wonders of the World Garden, we head for the Fairytale Garden with a walk down an avenue lined with bright giant "pineapples".....


.... and then one with christmas trees made from myriads of small colourful lights.


And below some of these christmas trees were presents; we wondered whether any were for us..... but the whole beautifully presented gardens here was already an early, very early Christmas present for all of us.


These Ficus trees with intertwining braches were a prelude to the fairytale garden, the shone eerily like an enchanted forest.


But fear not behind them were giant hearts to cheer us up, warming us for what were to come next.


At an angle, a shadowed heart looked like a sea-serpent raising it's head over the waves!


But all is good as just behind them the fairytale starts with these koi, fishes that are often mentioned in Chinese folkore and Japanese folklore.


Rounding a corner we were greeted by Snow White, a close representation of her Disney cartoon character with just a spot light shining at her.


To another side, another Snow White greeted us, coming out from a candy coloured house to welcome us in!


A close up looke at her and her house; hmmm... perhaps a smile from her would brighten up the place even more. Perhaps she's frowning out of jealousy.....


..... as just next to her cottage was Cinderella in a resplendent dress accompanied by Prince Charming. Is this really Cinderella? It is as, a glass slipper was conspicously present.


This simple fairytale coach looks great ....


but it paled in comparison to Cinderella's magical coach.


But the fairytale characters are not the only one in this garden, there are Smurfs too .... all the way from Belgium!


And even Malaysia's famous cartoon duo are there, Upin & Ipin!


And a not so cartoonish Bumblebee of the Transformers.


And a few Pokémon characters.


Together with bears .....


and squirrels!


And even Peter Rabbit with his family!


And video games characters like Super Mario!


Followed by his pet patch-eye dog.


The wonderfully lit up garden does indeed bring out the little child in all of us.

This section is near the entrance to the park and is the first that many would see as they drive in. It's an appropriate introduction to the place, suddenly seeing the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa!


But don't just drive through, visit as dusk sets in and take a walk around the park. As it gets dark the colourful lights come on, and the place comes alive with a bright magical quality.


The Eiffel Tower standing tall .....


..... and the Leaning Tower of Pisa stood tall too, although with a bit of a slant!


And this is the London Eye, not a very close replica but it's colourful.


This is one that I like best, with it's candy looking domes standing on different coloured towers. The towers are replicas of sections of the Saint Basil's Cathedral located at Red Square in Moscow. By some coincidence I would be going on a holiday to Russia a couple of months later and see the actual cathedral for real.... Cool!


And our Malaysian favourite - the Petronas Twin Towers.


The park may not be that large, but within it are ponds which reflected the colourful displays.


This is another favourite, a colourful peacock with it's tail wrapped wround a vase.


This may not be a Wonder but it's detailing was exquisite. A close up here shows one of the many lotus blooms that surround it.


Don't just come here for the colourful light displays, here too are nice pathways that wend through the garden. Taking a walk here is so serene.


And other than the iconic displays, there are niches of planting like this Cactus Garden .....


And tall Ficus plants with nicely trimmed domed leaves and intertwining aerial roots reaching down to form a basket weave pattern.


As night sets in, the lights come on and eerily brush colours onto the plants... ever seen a red cactus garden, here it is!


The light paints the plants with colours that gives the whole place a surrealistic feel, like this voilet lit purple Bougainvillea shrub .....


Purple Ficus behind dark blue catci .....


A haunting blue lit very tall Ficus bush.....
Salvador Dali would have been proud!


And for the children (or the kids withing the adults), cheery pandas and other cartoon characters dot the artificial trees.


We walked out onto a road lined with Avatar like plants .....


Its bright floral ceiling speckled with stardust lighting will lead us to other sections!
