There are a lot of photos, articles and videos on the famous Taiping Lake Gardens. I will try not to repeat what others have said over and over again about this beautiful place. What I will do is to show what I saw as I took a morning stroll along one side of the Lake Gardens. Yes, only one side. My focus will be on things like flowers, trees, plants, animals and a bit on what some people are doing there too. Morning is a good time to have a walk around the Lake Gardens, for it is the time when the flowers are fresh, the sunshine is not too bright, and the people are still energetic.
Young people come for their morning jog when the air is fresh and clean.

An excellent place to do a bit of stretching.
