Taiping, a Small Town in Perak
Oh my, I’ve got my SD card photos.. It’s finally here for your view and this is definitely a great view for you. Small town of Taiping in Perak, Malaysia. Fuiyoh!! How many places liao??
Taiping Canopy Trees Lake Park
But just to let you know, Taiping has it’s favourite park which is the Canopy Trees Lake Park. Hmm.. Don’t get what I mean!

Look here!! This is what a view you get to see at Taiping Yum Yum Canopy Lake Park. Well, I remembered that once there was a group who mentioned that park would need rebuilding, thus the trees would need to be cut down. Surprisingly though, the residents in Taiping has ganged up together, signed and demonstrated that the park needs to be preserved as it is. Especially the trees that made it special! I guessed it’s really special if the Taiping folks are doing this!

Here is something unique I found there. A stone made Alligator or Dinosaur. Well, it’s unique alright. Seeing from afar, I would have thought it’s just a piece of rock. Then looking closely, it resembles the dinosaur Stegosaurus. Don’t know what it is? Have a look below… Finally some prehistoric animal in Malaysia land. HA HA HA HA!!!!
Taiping Museum

So after that where should I go from there?? Hmm… since I am already in Taiping, why not visit the Museum. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a museum with the last time in KL around year 2001. OK, that’s like 6 years! I can’t believe this!! Aiyoh, whoever said that museum is for kids only, it’s good to read some history!
Lookie here, the old Perak State Train. Unique as it is, it’s now only part of few displays of old machineries and vehicles. Though didn’t get to see the honorary statue of one of the Resident General of Perak. I think they moved his statue already!! Aih… too bad!! Well, that’s then with the Museum visit. So where to next. Heard of Maxwell Hill??
Maxwell Hill (Bukit Larut)
Maxwell Hill is now being renamed to Bukit Larut! The reasons knowingly understood.
Malaysian-ised Styled Expressions upcoming!!
More ‘Malaysian’ name ma!! Haiyoh, why bother to rename? Nevermind!
Seeing the Bukit Larut, I thought of staying overnight up in the hills. Plans have to be cancelled as going up there for one night in a chalet is like wasted. As the next day, we have to go down the hill and with the car being left on the roadside while we’re up there, it’s like taking a risk on the safety of the car!
So the plan was cancelled, but….. not before I took one picture with the Giant Tree. What tree is this? Baobab Tree? Hmm.. clueless. I really should do more research on the trees that are growing on Maxwell Hill. It seems that it has a very rich history.
This finally wraps up a short 3 destination to visit in Taiping. Of course, all things must end and perhaps time to visit my next destination.
Where to go next?
Oh my too many activities in one day! Looks like it’s time to find food. Where else, since we’re in Taiping, why not drive down to somewhere and eat the famous food there? HUH??? Where’s that??? Give you a clue ok! This is just one picture shot of what I ate!
Adios, Sayonara! Don’t be too hungry before the next update ok!! Ho ho ho ho!!
