Taiping Lake Gardens is the first public garden established during the British rule in Malaysia. It was officially open in 1880, about 135 years ago. The lake was originally a tin mining ground. Some of the panoramic views of the gardens are as follows (pictures were captured by Nikon D90 with Nikkor 35 mm f/1.8G AF-S DX lens):
Swan Lake, one of the many lakes and ponds distributed throughout the gardens. (HDR picture generated by Photomatix Pro 5.0.5)
A very nice secluded spot to have a cup of cold drink with someone on the weekend..
Spectacular view of Pokok Hujan-Hujan (Scientific name: Samanea saman) that were planted around the lakes, providing cool shades to visitors. The earliest trees were planted in 1884, some 130 years ago.
