Taiping is famous for its magnificent lakes and gardens view. You may want to visit the new spot botanical garden where you can take a slow morning walk along the trail while appreciating the greenery view, fresh air, positive ions, various sound of insects, small animals, different types of trees and plants. It is a cooling, refreshing, relaxing and quiet new place to explore. Although there are still rooms to improve and enhance, what can you expect more from the nature but the natural environment? Worth to explore.

Splendid venue to spend time for all nature's lovers. Great walking path, serene and calming environment. Very well maintained and clean. A treasure to be preserved for now and the future generations. Ample parking. A 2 minutes drive to Burmese pool which is another germ in Taiping.

There’s little if not no difference between this paid admission (RM2/adult) Taman Botani and the Taiping lake garden. Obviously the latter is the winner. If you’ve been to Penang Botanical Garden, you’ll probably be greatly disappointed with this one. The facade and the open compound near the bridge were impressive, the rest of the park was not well kept. We’re told the information brochure ‘habis’ (finished) when ask for one. No fauna to be seen (not even a squirrel) while we spent 40mins exploring around the park in the morning hours. The place is fairly clean and somewhat felt a bit eerie/ unsafe as we walked further away (the whole park was just me and my wife, and of course a few workers near the gate). Certain stretch of the trails (off tarred road) can be slippery and user unfriendly. This Taman is definitely NOT the place for student/ teacher/researcher to learn about fauna and flora as no educational material available, at least not now.

A beautiful place ruined, especially on our second visit, by an army of noxious-smelling leaf-blowers and deafening weed-whackers who descend on the park during the early morning when you hope to hear birds and experience nature. The park was nice, though. I just wish they had more intelligent management that takes into consideration that people who come here like peace and tranquility. Interesting birds seen on our first visit: Lineated Barbet (1st photo), Racket-tailed Drongo, and Crimson-winged Woodpecker. By the way, the Macaque in the second photo charged at my wife very aggressively. We were on the path and didn't provoke him at all. So beware if you take the left path after the bridge and rotunda.

I explored the hill path to enter the Perak Malay themed park showcasing some poisonous local plants etc. Interestingly there’re a Chinese clan tomb as well as a Malay ones over the hill. Good for botanic, entomological, geographic and historic explorations, all at the same time!

🤌🏼Entering fees RM2/person is so reasonable for what PBT done to maintain this park. 🌺There is a small water stream from nearby waterfall so soothing that will make your mind and body so relaxing and calm. 👶🏻this place is baby stroller friendly. 🤗Restroom are spacious and nice.
