Found a cute photo spot in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur. Photos 1 and 2. Took a trip to Ipoh, which is an hour and a half drive from Kuala Lumpur. Explored a cave by boat at Tasik Cermin 2. Photo 4. Stopped by a market on the way to Ipoh and bought some fruits there.

#malaysiatrip Good atmosphere and nice sightseeing. Need to pay to walk to miners tunnel and see mirror lake. But yes it's a small ticket fee. There's a coffee place nearby where the coffee is good. WiFi is provided thankfully cause signal is quite bad Ticket price MYR10 is a bit high for foreigners, considering only one lake can be visited for that. Ticket for Malaysian MYR4 someone feels reasonable. The infrastructures are still under construction, probably will get better after they are finished.

It was a short vacation, we drive from Penang to Ipoh. It took us about 3 hours to reach Ipoh. We visited Foh Sun for our breakfast of course! The Dim Sum is just too good 🙌 Foh Sun 📍51, Jalan Leong Sin Nam, Kampung Jawa, 30300 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia We then visited Tasik Cermin. The view was so so amazing. We drive and walked a little while until we reach the place. The view was very worth to visit 🏞️ I have attached some amazing shots and I will also write down the address. Tasik Cermin 📍Tasik Cermin, 31350 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia We then went to Funny Mountain for their dessert! just imagine then you can order and eat dessert in your car under hot sunny day ☀️ Their dessert was delicious too😋 We ordered their famous Tao Fu Fah to end our short trip! Funny Mountain Soya Beancurd 📍50, Jalan Mustapha Al-Bakri, Taman Jubilee, 30300 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia

It is more of a kopitiam by the cave instead of in the cave. Get a queue number first and wait for number to be called. There are seats and benches placed under shelter for the wait. Was there at about 10am and waited for about 20 mins for a table of 5. Had the iced white coffee which was fragrant and slightly sweet. Dishes we ordered were kaya butter toasts, butter sugar toasts, kaya toasts, prawn rolls, fried wantons and fried rice. We all agreed that other than the fried rice, the rest of the dishes were good. Fried rice is slightly disappointing as it is more of a fried shallot rice without wok hei. 5 stars still given for this place as it is still a nice tourist experience and food is not bad. Service staffs were efficient.#ipoh #ipohcafe #foodie

📍Tasik Cermin Ipoh https://maps.app.goo.gl/1iSMG9Z8S1U4LPB58 Tasik Cermin is a hidden gem in Ipoh that you should totally explore.. Literally translated as “Mirror Lake”, Tasik Cermin is tucked in between the many limestone karst formations that are synonymous with the city that is Ipoh in Perak, Malaysia. If you don’t already know, these limestone hills have earned the city the nickname “Guilin of Malaysia”! Tasik Cermin is situated in Gunung Rapat, a 20-minute drive from the heart of Ipoh. The neighbouring location used to be an active quarry that has thankfully minimized its operations. If you find yourself looking at an abandoned house upon arrival, you’re on the right track. Park your car and chances are you’d be approached by an unofficial parking attendant whom you will have to pay your “parking fees” of RM5 to. Walk further down off the beaten path until you reach a dark tunnel opening. The 50-meter long tunnel might be a tad bit scary but just walk towards the light at the end of the tunnel. #mirrorlake #ipoh #lake #tasikcermin

Hidden gems in Ipoh Perak Malaysia. Temple cave Ipoh and Mirror Lake ipoh

A lagoon in a valley that can be reached by taxi in 10-20 minutes from Ipoh city. It's a must-visit tourist spot in Ipoh. The entrance to TASIK CERMIN2 is in front. The entrance to 1 is at the back (just a few minutes walk away). 2 is a boat tour. 1 is a walking tour, and tickets are required for each. The boat is more expensive, but it's fun because you can leave your luggage and go on a real adventure. I'll never forget the tranquility when I emerged into the lagoon at the end of the tunnel.

One thing i compliment bout visiting tasik cermin is that the souvenirs sell there is AFFORDABLE ! Aside from its eye-catching view, i think the price to get a boat ride is tooo TOO pricey . if only if they open for a boat rent , not per person.. i guess people would not hesitate to pay .

Exploring Tasik Cermin 2 in Ipoh is like stepping into a hidden world! To reach this serene spot, I took an inflatable boat through a narrow pathway carved between towering limestone hills. The journey was an adventure itself, quietly passing through the natural surroundings untouched by mankind. As I arrived, the beauty of the lake and the towering cliffs left me in awe. Although the waters aren’t crystal clear, the view is breathtaking and offers a sense of calm and seclusion that’s hard to find. It’s a place where you can truly connect with nature and appreciate the untouched landscape of Ipoh’s hidden treasures. 💡 Tip: Go early in the day to experience the tranquility and capture the best views with minimal disturbance. #TasikCermin2 #IpohHiddenGem #UntouchedNature #ExploreIpoh #VisitPerak #HiddenParadise #NatureInMalaysia #TravelMalaysia #100waysoftravel

nice place for ootd

A good place to spend time with family and friends. I came here with my family last weekend . There's a RM4 entry fee for adults and free for kids. They also have a boat riding activity around RM25 per boat where you can explore further inside unfortunately the queue was too long so we decided not to go for that. It is advisable to bring water bottles and wear cap as it is extremely hot.
