Taiping- an old and peaceful town which full of discoveries!
Posted by: admin in Eco Tourism & Travel, Malaysia, tags: Bukit Larut, Maxwell Hill, Taiping Lake, Taiping Prison, Taiping zoo, weather forecastHas anybody wonder what is there to discover in Taiping? If you ask me about it, I can’t really tell you much. All I know about Taiping is its famous Lake…but I never really explore it before.
Maxwell hill with Tulips
I thought of going to Taiping alone since it is not far from my hometown, Ipoh, about an hour drive from Ipoh. I actually wanted to go to Maxwell Hills to enjoy the cool weather and the nice views on top of the hill. Besides that, I heard there is a Tulips nursery up there. I decided to go there without knowing much about route and the town. I am lucky to meet a friend-Ann in a seminar which was from Taiping before I depart. As we sit together, we found to have common interest and just click along well on our first meeting and we share our stories on life and experiences. I guess we are somehow fated to meet each other. She offered to be my tour guide around Taiping. Thank God, I was still kind of uncertain and worried on exploring the town alone. It seems like I was meant to visit this place. Isn’t it amazing?
Weather Prediction Gambling Culture!
When you pass by some kopitiam (old chinese coffee shop) and see some old men looking at the sky? Have u wonder what are they doing? These old folks in Taiping town are gambling on the timing of the rainfall..Can u believe it? This shows how peaceful and laid back is this town where old folks create some game like this to pass their time….
Taiping Lake - Good FengShui
Take a look at the Taiping lake surrounding in my posts! It is certainly a peacekeeping lake surrounded by beautiful nature.
Taiping Prison & Temple
Does anyone know about the story of the lion statue and the prisons?
Air Kuning Hot Springs and Mountain Water Bathing
It is a cheap and good place to enjoy the hot springs. There are various way for u to enjoy the hot springs. It cost about RM1-2 for a pail of water to soak your legs. It is believed that this hot springs water from the ground can actually cure many diseases like skin cancer, diabetes…..I am not a doctor..i can’t confirm this but after a soak in the hot springs…my skin was smooth and not dried and i felt good and had a good sleep..
It is run by a mosleum owner. Thus, it looks simple and its building looks more like a mosleum structure building. As Malaysia is a multi cultural society, all other races are allowed to go in for a soak. You can actually hire a private pool and enjoy the pool among your friends and family at a cheap rate compare to other place. Besides that, you can even hire a bathroom for a private soak which cost about RM 2…..Isn’t it a good place to have nature relaxation and spa…? It is not a luxury place to enjoy a spa but certainly a clean and cheap place to enjoy the natural spa.
