Visiting Malaysia is now visa-free. When touring Malaysia, it's not necessary to go to Kuala Lumpur. Instead of seeing enough skyscrapers and shopping malls, why not visit Penang State, and the neighboring Perak State. In the small town of Taiping in Perak State, there is a lake in the city, which makes Taiping beautiful. With the addition of the Rain Trees, it becomes even more beautiful, tranquil, and serene. The unique branch structure of the Rain Trees gives a sense of vicissitudes, and also makes people feel relaxed and happy. Taiping Lake Park was established in 1880. It is a disused tin mine lake left over from the past mining activities. After recycling and designed into a garden, it has become the pride of the people of Taiping and a good place for everyone to take a walk. Now the road around the lake has also been turned into a pedestrian street, called Raintree Walk. The Rain Trees were planted by the British a hundred years ago. These 'centenarians' are now 'millionaires'.
