What you can expect

Next, visit the salted fish processing centre to see the rows of salted fish laid out to dry in the sun. Then, visit the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve to experience the exotic mangrove ecology.

Proceed to the Spritzer Ecopark to see how mineral water is bottled at its source. End your tour with a visit to Taiping Lake Gardens, the first public park in Malaysia, where you will be able to see century-old rainforest trees and experience a paddle boat ride in the serene lake.
