Water usually has a calming effect on people - whether it's a babbling brook, a calm lake or a cascading waterfall - and these spots make ideal places for rest and relaxation. Those who like calm lakes can visit Pahang where Tasik Bera, the largest natural freshwater lake in Peninsular Malaysia, and Tasik Chini are located.
Tasik Kenyir in Terengganu, however, holds the record as being the largest manmade lake in South-east Asia. The lake also acts as Malaysia's largest rock-filled hydroelectric dam! The Paya Indah Wetland (Selangor) is also a lovely getaway where you can explore the wonders of nature. Once a barren land from years of tin mining and logging, this rehabilitated ecosystem is currently a habitat to lush vegetation and thriving wildlife. |
