Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve

  • 1h
Twenty minutes away from Taiping is Kuala Sepetang or Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve, a quaint fishing village on the coast that has seen better days. However, it is gaining recognition from urbanites seeking an escape from the city life and an increase in ecotourism activities.

Taiping Lake Gardens

  • 30m
The Taiping Lake Gardens is the first public garden established during the British rule in Malaysia. The garden is located near Bukit Larut, and is equidistant to the town centre and the Taiping Zoo. It is a vast evergreen park designed around former tin mining ponds and surrounded by gorgeous rain trees as old as the park itself. The Lake Gardens is one big community centre where all walks of life would congregate every evening, especially on weekends. Join in the fun by renting a paddleboat (at your own cost) and row around the lake before going on a long breezy stroll.

Taiping War Cemetery

  • 30m
The Taiping War Cemetery is the final resting place for Allied personnel who were killed during World War II, particularly the Malayan Campaign and the Japanese occupation of Malaya. Servicemen who died after the war or during their posting in northern Malaya prior to the Malayan Emergency are also interred here.

Aun Tong Coffee Mill

  • 30m
Aun Tong Coffee Mill was founded in 1933 in Taiping, Perak. Its founder, Mr. Tiah Ee Mooi has made his coffee a popular drink among the locals, with his signatured product “Antong” remains a favourite brew among coffee lovers, both local and abroad. After half a century, Antong Sdn Bhd has grown from strength to strength developing into a modern coffee roaster. Researching the best business practice, Antong is capable of producing 10 tonnes of roasted coffee beans per day. Today, after 80 years in the coffee trade, Antong has perfected the art of coffee roasting to accommodate customers’ expectations and satisfy multiple demands. At the end of the tour, we transfer you back to Kuala Lumpur City Hotel.
