#2023travelwish We had a wonderful walk in Taiping Lake Gardens admiring the beautiful century-old raintrees. The large trunks of trees growing towards the lake, just like a Ballerina bending her body, so gracefully. I saw the local authority helping to install some metal legs to support the trunks from falling. Hopefully the raintrees stay strong. Many locals are cycling, jogging, and exercising in this lovely serene place. The Pagoda Cina was stunningly beautiful at night. Must try the Milo drink sold by a vendor in the park, it's so good. Plenty of parking here, no hassle, and it's free. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves nature walks. Next year I wish to travel to Iceland to see the Northern Lights.

This lake is located in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia. There is a lot of greenery, so you can feel refreshed. There is a zoo nearby, so you can hear the animals and it is a place full of nature. The lake garden is home to birds that have escaped from the zoo, and you can sometimes spot them (lol). If you feel like eating, there is a large food court nearby, so it is a very satisfying spot. #Malaysia #Taiping #Lake #Nature #Tourist Attraction #Zoo #Refreshment #Overseas Travel

Taiping Lake Gardens is one of the oldest lake gardens in Malaysia. It is very popular among visitors due to it’s scenic beauty, some even call it as the most beautiful lake gardens in Malaysia.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Taiping has many historical sites and beautiful scenery. One of the famous scenic spots is Taiping Lake, which consists of about ten lakes. Taiping Lake was developed into a lakeside park from an abandoned mine lake in 1888 during the British colonial period. It is said to be the first and oldest lakeside park in Malaysia. Many of the shophouses in Taiping seem to be painted in this bright white color, which, when combined with the other main buildings and history of this small town, inexplicably exudes a neoclassical aura. The shop is inlaid with a whole row of simple Manchurian windows, which further highlights the Straits flavor of the fusion of Chinese and Western styles. If you pass through Taiping, don't miss the equally wonderful architectural heritage here. I recommend everyone to go to Peace Hotel, which has now been renamed Peace Tea House Hotel.

This is the first time we visited Taiping lake and it was the quite unique experience since we could stand in the middle of the lake.. Because I just had 1 day trip so actually I haven’t been too much places around. If the next time I come back to Taiping, for sure I will spend more time and look around the town. When I walked around here, I feel so peaceful and relaxing.

Such a majestic scenery with a row full of raintrees. Nice knowing that the trees were not chopped down rather taken care of quite well!

Have a wonderful evening walk at this lake garden. It's quite a big park with a number of lakes. If you enjoy the calming scene and relax your soul, it's a good place.

#traveldiaries Taman Tasik Taiping, also called Taiping Lake Gardens, is a big public park in Taiping, Malaysia. It is one of the oldest and most beautiful parks in the country. The park has large lakes, green lawns, and big trees that make it very peaceful and relaxing. Many people come here to walk, jog, or just enjoy the scenery. There are bridges, flower gardens, and even a playground for kids. The special thing about this park is the old rain trees that bend over the road and touch the water, making a tunnel-like view. It’s a popular spot for photography, family outings, and picnics. Good place to relax and enjoy nature.

The Rain Trees at Taiping Lake are aging and have reached the end of their lifespan. Many people say that visiting Taiping Lake is not complete without seeing the Rain Trees and taking a photo on the grand Rain Tree avenue. However, not many know why the Rain Trees at Taiping Lake have been falling one by one in recent years. It's because the Rain Trees have aged and reached the end of their lifespan. The Rain Tree is a unique large tree native to South America, with a lifespan of about 140 to 200 years. The first Rain Tree was planted at Taiping Lake by the British around 1876, which means it has been over 140 years. Therefore, in recent years, we have seen the Rain Trees by the lake falling one by one, unable to withstand the ravages of time, and gradually bidding farewell to us. 📍 Address: Taiping Lake, Malaysia 💰 Average Cost: Free 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: Beautiful and relaxing

Taiping, the 150 years old city (1874-2024), one of the oldest in Malaysia. Taiping Lake Garden a prestigious landmark for Taiping, unfortunately only the Raintree Walks is properly maintain, other spots like the Lotus Pond, the Dinasaur Rock Garden, the 114yo Lake Jetty, the play ground with cement slides (>50yo), the once beautiful clock tower, aren't in good shape and not proper maintain. Love to see if once the popular Lake View Hotel can restore! Still visit Taiping Lake in the future.

Staying at Taiping Sense Hotel for returning to hometown for Cheng Beng. Lots of local food to select from original nsi lemak, Wan tan mee. Enjoy a simple coffee at the famous siang malam food court.

Have a 1 day trip to Taiping, really inspired by the lake, a peaceful place with the lake and mountains view! We have a walk surround lake and enjoy the view! We also rented a “tricycle” for 30mins, and cycled along the lake, good outdoor exercise in the evening! Will come again next to visit this amazing place, a suitable place to retire? Haha.. Nearby have a food court center, can have a dinner there after the evening walk too!#taiping #taipinglake

#Relaxing Walking under these hundreds of years old rain trees is an experience situated in the lake garden in Taiping. Covering over the umbrella-like branches from the trees sharding away from the heat of the afternoon sun relaxing one walk beside the claiming lake.

Hotel Grand Baron Taiping, Perak. The hotel is very near to the beautiful lake. we spent a good one hour there just to enjoy the sounds of birds, the fresh air of water and tree. the lake was quite well maintained, clean and organized. By the way, the price is very reasonable and the breakfast included was good. Nevertheless we missed out the street food due to time constraint.
