Serene Mirror Lake in Ipoh

This time I went to Ipoh, the most I wanted to do was to find some quiet lakes and mountains, get away from the busyness of the city, and enjoy the breath of Malaysian nature. In the trip, I specially recommended Ipoh Kin Loong Valley Scenic Area. The most beautiful scenery is the Mirror Lake scenery. The water surface reflects the surrounding mountains and forests like a mirror. The screen is already full of fairy spirit without adding filters🌿. In addition to enjoying the scenery in extreme silence, you also have the opportunity to take a boat trip on the lake and feel the breeze on the lake and the soft language of the mountains and forests.

The advantage of this scenic spot is that nature and humanity blend beautifully. Whether it's a sunny day, the sun shines down on the lake, or it adds a hazy atmosphere when it's cloudy and rainy. There are many trees planted by the lake, and the pictures are very deep, and it is completely a photo spot. The buildings at the point are integrated with the view, and Ipoh’s cultural charm can be seen at every corner.
If you have time, schedule a lake exploration. I set off by myself by boat. Along the way, I slowly saw the shadows of the trees, the water, and the distant mountains. It was very relaxing. The boat ride is not long, which is definitely suitable for a relaxing short trip for families or couples.
Practical tips – Beware when taking a boat!
1. It is recommended to go early (9am-11am), less crowded, cool weather.
2. If you encounter cloudy and rainy days, bring a folding umbrella or lightweight raincoat.
3. The lakeside terrain is slightly slippery, remember to choose a pair of non-slip flats to walk safely.
4. Carry a water bottle for sunscreen, the weather in Ipoh sometimes changes fast.
5. Some boats are recommended to book in advance, you can check the latest information through the trip.com platform.
Food recommendations
If you are tired and want to enjoy a tea break, you can find a cafe in the nearby Ipoh Old Street and enjoy the signature white coffee. Enhance your Ipoh experience with chicken noodle noodles or smooth egg tart.
Transportation guide
Kin Loong Valley is about 15-20 minutes drive from Ipoh city center and Grab can be reserved. For self-driving people, there is a parking space at the entrance of the scenic area. It is recommended to choose to travel on weekdays to avoid the holiday crowds.
Tips
Mirror Lake is located in a relatively remote location, the network signal is sometimes not very stable, remember to prepare a Google Maps offline package; in addition, remember to prevent mosquitoes when the weather is too hot.
If you are a photo expert, it is highly recommended to bring a small camera or wide-angle mobile phone lens to capture every beautiful scene from multiple angles.
