<br />
The island, which is about 20 kilometres from Kuah town, is modestly populated on one side and virtually uninhabited on the other where the lake is situated.<br />
<br />
The legend of <a href="http://travelarticles2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/dayang-bunting-lake-or-tasik-dayang.html" target="_blank">Tasik Dayang </a>Bunting goes like this: The favourite bathing pool of a celestial princess named Mambang Sari was said to be <a href="http://travelarticles2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/dayang-bunting-lake-or-tasik-dayang.html" target="_blank">Tasik Dayang Bunting </a>(Lake of the Pregnant Maiden). A prince, Mat Teja, fell madly in love with her and tricked her into marrying him.<br />
<br />
Sadly, their child died from a mysterious illness at the age of seven days. Distraught, the grieving Mambang Sari left the child's body in the lake and returned to her heavenly abode. Today, some believe that barren women who bathe in this lake will be endowed with a child.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigqxoyXQNJa_M70OtMhDsuhbhHWOdyWn5cv6qxRYgV_DsDN1f8941Diyoq5LxIFiErpTig5GKoExbST0Yg7UeJd5iij8KkOZVRSr3bRw59IBY_koO0Ft09KlzgjflCAhGCXCQUGJNqmA4/s1600/Langkawi+Island.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank">Langkawi Island</a><br />
<br />
Off the coast of Kedah is a cluster of 99 islands offering the best of many worlds: beautiful beaches, world- class infrastructure, mangroves rich in flora and fauna, ultra- cheap duty-free shopping and fascinating legends.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank">Langkawi</a> has a lingering legend woven into its history. Ask anyone on the island about the tragic story of a beautiful young lady named Mahsuri, and you'll hear a tale of love, jealousy and a curse that was placed upon the island by her for seven generations.<br />
<br />
Today, the seventh generation of<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank"> Langkawi</a>'s inhabitants has long come and gone, but people here still believe that the prosperity and blessings the islands enjoy today and the passing of the curse is no mere coincidence. The mysticism of this legend can be felt in many parts of this island, especially at <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank">Makam Mahsuri</a> (Mahsuri's Mausoleum), where Mahsuri is said to be buried.<br />
<br />
Despite what looks like a slant towards tourism, many of the islanders are actually farmers, fishermen and entrepreneurs. Experience the beautiful countryside and peaceful landscape of paddy fields by renting a car and taking a leisurely drive around the island. Some of Langkawi's most rustic and memorable views are along the road that circles the island.<br />
<br />
You'll pass small villages with wooden houses framed by palm trees, and children pedalling their old bicycles on errands. Aside from experiencing the local lifestyle, there is no shortage of things to do in <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank">Langkawi</a>. Head up the thrilling new cable car to the summit of <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank">Mount Mat Cincang</a> - <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank">Langkawi</a>'s second highest mountain - for an unrivalled view of the entire main island and beyond.<br />
<br />
Other popular destinations are the Field of Burnt Rice, Hot Springs, Telaga Tujuh (The Seven Wells) and the Beach of Black Sand. Boat tours are organised to Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden), Gua Cerita (Cave of Stories) and Gua Langsir (Curtain Cave).<br />
<br />
For a more intimate time with nature, go trekking through the pristine rainforest that covers most of <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank">Langkawi</a>, or go on a boat tour of the mangroves. There are also opportunities to go for a dive, or play a round of golf at some of the 5-star resorts. <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/langkawi-island.html" target="_blank">Langkawi</a> also has an underwater world, with an underground tunnel that runs through a giant aquarium, that has received rave reviews. </div>

It is the smallest <a href="http://the%20pure%2C%20sandy%20stretch%20of%20pantai%20kerachut%20is%20also%20a%20favourite%20nesting%20place%20of%20green%20turtles%20from%20april%20to%20august%2C%20and%20the%20olive%20ridley%20from%20september%20to%20february/" target="_blank">national park</a> in the country with a size of 2,562 hectares. It was gazetted in 2003 and is home to 46 species of birds such as the stork-billed kingfishers, white-breasted waterhens and great egrets.<br />
<br />
A 2000 expedition led by the Malaysian Nature Society recorded 417 flora and 143 fauna species. Before the area was designated as a national park, the locals knew it as Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve. Some of the activities carried out are fishing, swimming and hiking.<br />
<br />
The pure, sandy stretch of Pantai Kerachut is also a favourite nesting place of Green turtles from April to August, and the Olive Ridley from September to February. The turtle hatchery set up in Pantai Kerachut in 1995 is now managed by the State Fisheries Department along with the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) and the Forestry Department. They also manage the upkeep of the park, which is in pristine conditions.<br />
<br />
Some of the best hardwood trees can be found here, especially from the shorea species, such as Meranti and Merawan Baru. In fact, the area is the only known place in <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/penang-national-park.html" target="_blank">Penang</a> where the red, paper-like barked Gelam trees grow.<br />
<br />
The bio-diversity of the park is also impressive, with 1,000 species of plants including five different species of the Bintangor tree.<br />
<br />
Besides this, the park is the only one in Malaysia that contains six different types of habitat a meromictic lake (a lake that occurs seasonally, where there is a distinct layering of waters), wetlands, mangroves, mudflats, coral reefs and turtle nesting beaches.<br />

<br />
Soak in the sun or unwind on the beach while you enjoy a host of aquatic thrills from wind-surfing to canoeing. For a spine-tingling adventure, try parasailing to enjoy the view of the beach from the sky.<br />
<br />
As the sun sets, <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Batu Ferringhi</a> comes alive with a carnival-like atmosphere with an open-air bazaar selling anything from ornate curios to enticing souvenir items.<br />
<br />
Watch local artisans demonstrate the intricate art of craft-making and batik- painting. Dubbed the Feringghi Walk, the bazaar offers shoppers a host of attractions.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pangkor,</a> with its charming mix of fishing settlements and resorts, is a fascinating and convenient holiday destination. It presents the visitor with a rare chance to live near fishermen and observe their lifestyle and also to simply enjoy the fine beaches and resort amenities.<br />
<br />
The fishermen live in scattered settlements on the eastern side, facing the town of Lumut and Teluk Batik. <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Visitors </a>get a chance to see some of them on the 40-minute ferry ride from Lumut as the ferry stops at the main settlements of Sungai Pinang Kecil and Sungai Pinang Besar before landing at Pangkor Town.<br />
<br />
Pangkor's two popular beach areas of Pasir Bogak and Teluk Nipah offer sun and sea enthusiasts activities like scuba-diving, snorkelling, wind-surfing and fishing. While Pasir Bogak is quite developed, Teluk Nipah still retains its kampung or village atmosphere. Teluk Ketapang or Turtle Bay still receives turtles on their egg-laying pilgrimages. Some of the resorts on the island also have excellent golf courses on their property.<br />

<br />
Towards the northern parts of Lake Temenggor, in northern Peninsula Malaysia (Perak state), lies a vast area of virgin jungle known as the Belum Forest Reserve. The area is one of the largest untouched forest reserves in Peninsula Malaysia. The presence of large mammal species such as elephants, rhinoceroses, tapirs and tigers makes Belum very special.<br />
<br />
This forest possesses an immense wealth of flora and fauna with much of the area still unexplored and undisturbed by humans.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Matang Mangrove Forest</a> is the largest stand of mangrove ecosystems in Peninsular Malaysia. These ecologically abundant mangrove habitats stretch along the west coast tidal mudflats of northern Perak for almost 50km plus another 40km along the shorelines of the sheltered river systems within the reserve's five estuaries.<br />
<br />
During the migration season between August and April every year, more than 200,000 migratory birds representing some 50 species are estimated to stop over here.<br />
<br />
There are also <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">well-equipped</a> and informative visitor centres where you can get detailed educational programmes and displays, which focus on the importance of safeguarding and preserving the mangrove ecosystems and the large numbers of resident and migrant bird species.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kuala Gula Bird</a> Sanctuary has won the "Best Tourist Attraction (Natural Attraction)" category during the Malaysia Tourism Awards, a prestigious award presented to agencies and organisations which contribute to the development of tourism in Malaysia.<br />

<br />
<br />
One cannot claim to have visited Taiping without taking some time off to soak in the natural beauty of the Taiping Lake Gardens. Built on top of an abandoned tin mine, the gardens were opened in 1880, earning them a place in the history books as the first public garden in then-Malaya.<br />
<br />
Huge ancient rain trees (“<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">angsana</a>”) line the lake; their branches stretching from one end of the road into the waters across, making the perfect backdrop for couples taking their wedding photos.<br />
<br />
Spread over 64 hectares, the lake has ten scenic lakes and ponds, a Lotus Pool, charming bridges, tracks for jogging and reflexology, all surrounded by tropical plants, flowers, trees and wildlife. For kids, a roller-skating rink, paddleboat rides, and a playground ensure that the<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> outdoors</a> appeal more than the latest video game.<br />
<br />
Heritage<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> structures</a> surround the lush greenery, including the <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Old Residency</a>, formerly the home of the Secretary to the Resident, the Raja’s House and army officers’ residences.<br />

<br />
The cave is probably the largest natural limestone cave in Peninsular Malaysia. <br />
<br />
Located in the vicinity of <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Gopeng</a>, 24km south of Ipoh, the cave is approximately 1.5km long.<br />
<br />
Made up of five huge domes which ceilings resemble coconut shells, each dome has different formations of stalagmites and stalactites.<br />
<br />
The domes also differ from one another in terms of temperature, water level, content of limestone and marble.<br />

<br />
<br />
Gua Teluk Kelawar is located at the Bukit Kepala Gajah limestone complex, latitude 5° 07.44’ north and longitude 100° 58.60’ east, 76 meters above sea level. Located one kilometer from Lenggong, Perak, research was first carried out by the Malaysian Archaeological Research Centre until 1990. Later on, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) also carried out excavation works and found that the cave was used 11,000 to 6,000 years ago.<br />
<br />
Many artefacts found at the site include tools and food deposits such as river snails, Brotia Costula and Brotia spinosa. There were also evidence of wild boar and deer, and this denoted that the environment was very much the same as today’s tropical rainforest.<br />
<br />
Research also uncovered human remains (GTK 1) dated 8,000 years ago. There were also stone tools and food deposits at the site. The burial indicated that the Palaeolithic era in Malaysia continued until early holosen, before they made pottery. <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Gua Teluk Kelawar</a> also has protective features commonly found during the formation of limestone in Malaysia.<br />
<br />
As such, early man (10,000 years ago) used the cave as a stop-point. Excavations uncovered stone tools, food deposits as well as animal bones, shells and pieces of pottery.<br />
<br />
Stone tools found here include pebbles, hammer and others. The stones were similar to those tools used at<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Kota Tampan </a>and Gua Gunung Runtuh. There are also pottery shards with early minimal designs (6,000 years ago). Animal bones ( monkeys (Macaca sp.), deer (Muntiacus munjak), wild boar (Sus sp.), and reptiles. There were also river snail shells (Brotia costula and Brotia spinosa).<br />

<br />
The <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Seri Menanti Royal Museum </a>was built in 1902 - 1905. It was originally a palace for the Negeri Sembilan Royal family. It is situated in the Royal town of Seri Menanti, about 50 km from the capital, Seremban. <br />
<br />
This five storey wooden palace, was built using no nails or screws. The carpenters at the time used wooden pegs so that the palace would be able to withstand the times. <br />
<br />
It also uses 99 solid timber pillars, soaring 65 feet. Black in colour, the palace also has intricate flower motifs beautifying the regal palace. <br />

<br />
Rebuilt by the <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/stpauls-hill-afamosa.html" target="_blank">Dutch </a>in the 18th century, St. John's Fort was once a private Portuguese chapel dedicated to St. John the Baptist.<br />
<br />
The fort has an interesting feature - cannons face inland as, during that time, attacks on Melaka came mainly from the hinterland instead of from the sea.<br />
<br />
Another attraction for many is the view from the top of the hill where St. John's Fort stands, particularly for the fantastic tropical sunsets.<br />

<br />
The <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/portuguese-square.html" target="_blank">Portuguese </a>colonised Melaka from 1511 to 1641. The first thing they did was build a fort overlooking the river, calling it A'Famosa. As Melaka was the centre of struggles between super powers of the time, and suffered the constant threat of attack, the A'Famosa fort was critical in Portugal maintaining its colonial foothold in the Far East.<br />
<br />
Within the fort walls were housing and<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/portuguese-square.html" target="_blank"> food stores</a>, a castle, a meeting room for the Portuguese Council and five churches. A seven-month attack by the Dutch just about destroyed the entire fortress, leaving only the entrance faade and the structure of a church at the top of the hill.<br />
<br />
Go for a stroll up St. Paul's Hill on a cool late afternoon and wander among the majestic trees and historical remnants. Here, you can almost imagine the glories and miseries of the besieged lives the Portuguese would have led right here all those years ago...<br />

<br />
The river was the main artery of trade for <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/portuguese-square.html" target="_blank">Melaka </a>in its heyday when it was bustling with traders from all around the world.<br />
<br />
Some buildings from that era still stand majestically by the river, which is also lined by old villages, or <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/portuguese-square.html" target="_blank">kampungs,</a> and modern day buildings.<br />
<br />
The 45-minute cruise is accompanied by an entertaining and informative commentary. And, for just RM8, it's a good bargain. See parts of historical Melaka, get a history lesson for next to nothing, and never break a sweat!<br />

<br />
This square is also known as <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/menara-taming-sari.html" target="_blank">'Mini Lisbon</a>'. Located within the Portuguese Settlement, the square is the centre of Portuguese culture in Melaka and in Malaysia.<br />
<br />
The small kampung, or village, around the square is the heart of Melaka's Eurasian community, descended from marriages that took place between colonial Portuguese and Malays some 400 years ago.<br />
<br />
There are occasional performances of <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/menara-taming-sari.html" target="_blank">Portuguese dances</a> and music. There is a bulletin board at the square that lists upcoming cultural events. But even on days when there is no performance, the square is a delightful place to go to for a meal and a drink and view the sunset over the Straits of Melaka.<br />

<br />
The 'Straits Chinese', also called the<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/pulau-redang.html" target="_blank"> Baba and Nyonya, </a>are Chinese of noble descent who have adopted much of the Malay culture into theirs. This has been a gradual process lasting over 400 years since the great Chinese explorer Admiral Cheng Ho first brought Chinese settlers to Melaka. Over the centuries, the Baba Nyonya have developed a distinct and highly interesting culture that is unique to Malaysia's west coast, particularly Melaka.<br />
<br />
The public can now view the historical<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/2014/05/pulau-redang.html" target="_blank"> artefacts</a> unique to this heritage at a captivating private museum run by the Babas and Nyonyas of Melaka. Within the walls of this heritage building, you can learn everything there is to know about this unique culture.<br />
<br />
The Heritage Museum offers guided tours (by appointment), research facilities and audio visuals. Well worth a visit!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The mosque, built in 1728 during the Dutch Occupancy, is the oldest mosque in the country. Its unique architectural style is a unique blend of Sumatran, Hindu and <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Western architecture</a>.<br />
<br />
All of the <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">b</a>uilding's original wooden structures except the four main pillars and the roof structure were replaced with concrete. Within the mosque compound, you can find the grave of Sayyid Abdullah Al-Haddad, a famous religious teacher, whom many regarded as a "<a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wali</a>" (Saint).<br />
<br />
A good way to see the <a href="http://gotravel2u.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">K</a>ampung Hulu Mosque is to include it as part of your walking tour of nearby Jonker Street. The Mosque is set just one street back from the famous street.<br />
