Taiping is also famous for its Lake Gardens. The park sprawls over 62 hectares of land and is one of the largest and oldest parks in Malaysia. We were simply exhausted while walking around the gardens, and we didn’t even manage to see all of them. Click left-right to scroll the panoramic view of Taiping…
Malaysia Attractions
Road Trip to Taiping Malaysia
As we drove out of Ipoh, we stopped over in Taiping (太平) for photo-taking before we proceed to Penang island. Taiping literally means “PEACE” in Mandarin! It used to be the capital of Perak, after it took over from Kuala Kangsar. Now Ipoh is the state capital. Taiping town with rows of rustic shophouses. What…
TRAP! Hot Springs Recreation Park

Exploring the Underwater World
Our island tour package included boat trips for snorkelling. We had so much fun exploring the underwater world. We brought a waterproof camera to snap photos of fishes and coral reefs in the water. While we fed the fishes with bread, all the fishes swam to us. Our silly friend didn’t grab his bread properly…
Exploring more of the Underwater World!
We continued to explore other snorkelling spots for more marine life, the gems of Redang island. Can you spot the blacktip reef shark? Hint: look for the “black tip” near the centre of the photo.
