Cermin Lake
Cermin Lake, or Tasik Cermin, is a lush oasis hidden within the limestone karsts of Gunung Rapat, a mere 20-minute drive away from Ipoh city centre. While it is not as central as other attractions, this natural setting has quietly garnered the attention of visitors and earned its nickname as the 'Guilin of Malaysia'.

Places You'll Discover
Ipoh – Kuala Kangsar – Kuaa Sepetang – Taiping
•Ipoh: Born from humble beginnings, this beautiful colonial city of Ipoh blends old-world charm with modern buildings and restaurants. But what makes it truly breathtaking are the sublime limestone karsts wrapped around it!
•Kuala Kangsar: The royal town of Perak glimmers with grand palaces and traditional trades that have served both royalty and the commonfolk.
•Kuala Sepetang: surrounded by mangrove forests, Kuala Sepetang is Malaysia’s largest charcoal-producing district.
•Taiping: Once the tin-mining powerhouse of Perak, Taiping leaves behind a legacy of British colonial buildings and many ‘claims to fame’ – the first post office, the first public garden, and the first museum in Malaysia, among others.
