Hidden Gem in Ipoh｜The “Little Guilin” of Gunung Lang Recreational Park

Dubbed Ipoh’s “Little Guilin”, Gunung Lang Recreational Park is renowned for its picturesque landscapes and tranquil atmosphere. Towering green hills embrace a wide, shimmering lake, reflecting the layers of mountains in its calm waters. The park also features an impressive 80-meter man-made waterfall, adding dynamic beauty to the serene scenery.

Visitors can purchase tickets at the entrance and take a ten-minute speedboat ride across the lake. Though short, the journey offers stunning views of the natural scenery on both sides and the weathered limestone cliffs, making it feel like stepping into a fairytale.

Gunung Lang Recreational Park is well-equipped with a variety of facilities. In addition to viewing platforms that offer panoramic vistas of the lake and surrounding hills, the park features a children’s playground, a bird park, and traditional Malay-style rest houses.

At the foot of the park’s hills, there are also natural limestone caves open for exploration, offering a perfect opportunity to experience the mysterious charm of nature.
