Experience a reposeful holiday in the charming town of Taiping — one of Malaysia’s hidden gems. This town was once a mining center and is now known for its rich agricultural offerings. Of course, it is also a perfect destination if what you are seeking is either relaxation or outdoor activities.
Have a romantic stroll with your partner at Taiping Lake Gardens — known as the first public garden in the country. Another historic site is Perak Museum, the oldest of its kind in Peninsular Malaysia. If you love animals, visit Taiping Zoo and Night Safari where you can meet different species of birds, reptiles, mammals, and fish. Want to cool off? Head to Coronation Swimming Pool.
