For campsite RM10. Attractions - The waterfall is suitable for family and friends gathering, picnic and camping. The water also not very deep so good and save for kids. There also have chalet if you want stay. Food & Restaurants - There are few shops nearby and selling foods and drinks. The water and place is clean and well maintained. Luckily when we reached there the weather was sunny and my kids really enjoyed playing, swimming at the waterfall. #tripblazers #fallingforfall #awesomepic

Hidden Charms of Perak and Kuala Sepetang

Just returned from an unforgettable trip to Perak and Kuala Sepetang! 🌅 Kuala Sepetang is a beautiful little fishery village in Perak, Malaysia, rich in culture and brimming with amazing seafood. If you’re ever in the area, make sure to dine at Rasa Sayang—it’s a must-try! 🍴 During my visit, I explored Ni Siap and learned about natural dyeing, visited a charcoal factory, and took a serene boat ride through the mangrove forest, where I witnessed the most breathtaking sunsets. As night fell, I was enchanted by fireflies that looked like fairy lights on a Christmas tree—pure magic. 🛶✨ The next day, I visited Antong Coffee Roaster, the oldest coffee roaster in Malaysia. If you go, don’t miss out on their coffee soft serve—it’s a treat! ☕🍦#myhiddengems #kuala_lumpur #malaysia #perak

The stunning Taiping Lake and Raintree Walk

Visiting Malaysia is now visa-free. When touring Malaysia, it's not necessary to go to Kuala Lumpur. Instead of seeing enough skyscrapers and shopping malls, why not visit Penang State, and the neighboring Perak State. In the small town of Taiping in Perak State, there is a lake in the city, which makes Taiping beautiful. With the addition of the Rain Trees, it becomes even more beautiful, tranquil, and serene. The unique branch structure of the Rain Trees gives a sense of vicissitudes, and also makes people feel relaxed and happy. Taiping Lake Park was established in 1880. It is a disused tin mine lake left over from the past mining activities. After recycling and designed into a garden, it has become the pride of the people of Taiping and a good place for everyone to take a walk. Now the road around the lake has also been turned into a pedestrian street, called Raintree Walk. The Rain Trees were planted by the British a hundred years ago. These 'centenarians' are now 'millionaires'.

Pecah batu

The Taiping Lake Gardens is certainly one of the most beautiful parks in Malaysia. The park actually consists of several lakes and ponds, flanked with rainforest trees and the occasional wildlife (perhaps courtesy of the Zoo nearby?) We went for an evening stroll and it wasn't too hot at that time. Be sure to bring some water along and wear comfy shoes as the park is very big, we walked for an hour!
