Perak - Taiping Lake Garden

Here are some photos taken at the Perak Lake Garden. I love the many trees lined along the roads which surrounded the lake. A must visit for those who love the tranquility and the beauty of nature. During the 70's and 80's, many couples love to come here and have their wedding photos taken by the lakeside. It still is a favorite spot for the local who come here for their relaxation.


When the water level is high, some branches are hanging so low that it looks as if they are touching the surface.

I like this photos. Very unique.

A pavilion at the lake.

Very old trees. Some are hanging so low that big tourist buses can't pass under it.

The trees also hosted a few other variaties of parasite plants.
