Taiping Lake Gardens, Public park in Taiping, Malaysia
The 64-hectare park contains ten artificial lakes surrounded by century-old rain trees forming natural canopies along the walking paths and roads.
The park originated from abandoned tin mines in 1880 when Colonel Robert Sandilands Frowd Walker initiated its transformation into Malaysia's first public garden.
The garden reflects British colonial influence in Malaysian urban planning, incorporating both European landscaping principles and local tropical vegetation.
Visitors can participate in activities such as jogging, kayaking, boat rides, or use the children's playground facilities throughout operating hours.
The park houses over 113 rain trees and 1,300 different tree species, creating natural tunnels with branches extending toward the water surface.
