Gunung Lang Recreational Park
Taman Rekreasi Gunung Lang
A lakeside park converted from an abandoned tin-mining lake. Take a small boat across the water to the foot of the limestone hill, and a viewing tower overlooks the Kinta River valley.
Gunung Lang Park was originally a mining lake left behind after tin extraction, surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs. After entering the park, you take a small boat (about 5 minutes) across to the far shore, where you'll find wooden boardwalks, a viewing tower and a small animal area. The still lake reflects the limestone scenery. Admission and ferry fees are low (check on site), and the park may close on Mondays. It is about 4 km from the city centre, a 10-minute taxi ride away, and can be visited together with Perak Cave.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–18:00 (may close Mondays)
