The wetlands, which includes dams, are a new way of attracting tourists who want to enjoy breathtaking sceneries, experience a splendid recreational spot with landscape gardens, including facilities for both recreational and watersports enthusiasts. Besides that, there are jogging tracks and walking trails for the health conscious people.
The more adventurous people can raft about in kayaks and enjoy it. These wetlands can also be an avenue for spectacular events like boat races, boat shows, and more. On a clear day, visitors can see the reflection of the lovely hills and sunset in the still waters of the dam.
Towards evening, the cool breeze creates delightful ripples on the water surface. This beauty is a must-see and visitors can get there by visiting a few favourites like the Semenyih Dam, and the Mengkuang Dam. |
