Create an itinerary including Taiping Lake Gardens
Take a stroll along the paths and bridges that crisscross the peaceful scenery of Taiping Lake Gardens, the oldest public garden in Malaysia. Established in 1880 during British colonial rule, this garden features rows of ancient angsana--"rain trees"--which stretch their branches over the water. Take a gentle pedal boat ride across the lake, blow off some steam at the roller-skating rink or the playground, and wander through the fragrant tulip gardens. The park contains ten artificial lakes and ponds, as well as a lotus pool. Make Taiping Lake Gardens part of your personalized Taiping itinerary using our Taiping route planner.

    I can go here every day! I kind of do whenever I’m in Taiping. Love walking around here. Love running here too. The park does get crowded sometimes, but there’s plenty of space for everyone. There’s a lot of exotic birds too, which is spectacular. I love the crowd too, actually. Seems to be just a simple and happy place to be in.

    Wonderful & Peaceful. Recommended for anyone want an absolute relax & refresh. Enjoy the view with full excitement. Walking along into deep of the lake garden pathway this morning can hear clearly the lion roar from nearby Zoo Taiping & monkeys shout out too as well 🙂🙂
