A Great Day Trip To Taiping
Since my relatives came from Kuantan for holiday during Hari Raya, we went to Taiping for a round. We went to Burmese Pool on the first day of Hari Raya. It’s between Lake Gardens and Maxwell Hill. Burmese pool is one of the most attractive tourists spots for swimming and picnicking. Before you reach there, you can see Taiping war cemetry on your right side.

Maxwell Hill
We didn’t go to Taiping zoo as my kid went there before. It’s too small and totally can’t compare with Singapore zoo that we visited last year. Anyway, no harm to visit once.
Perak Museum
After splashing cold water, we drove around Taiping downtown. Passed by Perak Museum but it’s closed due to Hari Raya holidays. It was the oldest Museum in Malaysia.
Taiping Jail
The Taiping Jail originally built to house troublesome miners, later used by the Japanese during the WW2. After that the British used it to hold the communists.
Hotel Panorama
When you are tired and hungry, you can enjoy your meal at Hotel Panorama coffee house. There are also lots of dining place for good food.
