B E YO N G K L A N G VA L L E Y tAIPING TA I P I N G Taiping served as the administrative centre for the Perak districts of Larut, Matang, and Selama. When tin was discovered in the 19th century, the region grew swiftly. The mines drew a significant number of settlers, most of whom were Chinese. Feuds sprang out be- tween rival groups of Chinese immigrants, and things got so bad that the British interfered and took control of the town in the early 1870s. In addition, the area is known for being the wettest town in Peninsular Malaysia. Taiping was named one of the world's top three sustainable cities. The average annual rainfall in Taiping is over 4,000mm, whereas the peninsula's average is between 2,000 and 2,500mm. The Taip- ing Lake Gardens have a thriving flora and century-old rain trees because of the extraordinary rainfall. It is well-known for its colonial architecture that has been well-preserved. On the site of an abandoned tin mine, Taiping Lake Gardens, a public park with angsana trees and a lotus pond, was constructed in 1880. Taiping Zoo, located nearby, raises endangered animals such as the Malayan tiger. In a 19th-century structure, the Perak Museum shows indigenous crafts, tribal artefacts, and animal skeletons. How to get here Car From Kuala Lumpur : Via Lebuhraya Utara - Selatan/E1 From Shah Alam : Via Lebuhraya Baru Lembah Klang AH2/E1 From Kuala Lumpur : about 3 hours From Shah Alam : about 3 hours Bus KPB Ekspress, StarMart Express and Jasmine Express are the buses available from Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS).
