Mirror Lakes abound worldwide, so-named because of the well-defined reflections on a lake's crystal clear waters. Ipoh's version of her Mirror Lake is found in a most unlikely place. Travel towards Gopeng along the busy and dusty Jalan Simpang Pulai, be on the lookout for an Isuzu factory on your left, turn in there, navigate along a sandy and pebbled path, venture through a stone quarry and park near a tiny cave entrance.
If you are there before 10 a.m., brace yourself for pitch darkness as you tread gingerly through the 50m long cave. Soon you will reach the end, which opens out into a breathtaking sight...a tranquil lake framed by shrubs and limestone hills.
Metal planks and benches have been constructed to enable you to safely walk out further and admire the awe-inspiring scenery. Peer closer at the lake and you are bound to see fishes darting around or even a tortoise playing hide and seek with you. Spend some moments of solitude to soak in the wonders of God's creations, right at the doorstep of us Ipoh lang.
Enter via this small cave entrance |
Hold your loved one's hand as you walk through this cave |
The end of the tunnel draws closer |
As you catch a glimpse of what there is to offer, you hasten your steps |
This gorgeous sight greets you as you step out of the cave tunnel |
With hardly anyone around, it's bliss to enjoy some quiet moments here |
Fancy a ride across the lake? |
A photographer's haven |
