A one day trip to Kanching falls : Waterfall Malaysia

Post by: Liew on March 18th, 2008 | File Under vacation

Last Sunday we have a one day trip at Kanching falls which was located off the trunk road nr 1 to Ipoh, between Selayang and Rawang. We get the info and tips from this Waterfall site. At the begining i still worry about the direction to this recreation park. Anyhow the journey was not too difficult that i suppose, we just follow the Kesas Highway from my place (Bukit Jalil) while reaching before Setapak we just follow the path to Ipoh.

Along the way we just follow small path to Rawang at the same time you will see roadsign which state “Hutan Lipur Kanching” if not ensure the road just drop by any store there and ask for more info.

Scenery beside the highway was spectacular, before reach Kanching fall you will saw this mountain scenery.

It was quite pity about this trip because the whole trip only me and Anston. Around half an hour journey we reach the entrance of Hutan Lipur Kanching. From there you will saw resting place, river and families there and yet monkeys as well.

According to the information there was seven falls at this kanching waterfall. Besides, there was two path which will lead you the waterfalls which the artificial which was easy for acess and the normal trail which was fun for trekking but a bit dangerous. This was the 1st falls with met which quite near from the entrance. I just snap like nobody business…lolz.

Visit Bukit Cerakah (Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam)

Post by: Liew on March 3rd, 2008 | File Under My Life, vacation

It been many years haven’t step on this place while I was still study at secondary school period. Yesterday we visit here for photography purpose and the progress included Hiew, hungwei, Eri, Eugene, Joshuaand Leepeng. The weather was nice yesterday and it really suitable for landscape photography. This Bukit Cerakah (Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam)was located at Shah Alam.

Special thankz to Joshua for fetching us to Bukit Cerakah (Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam) and Hiew for the towel. It was a very exhausted and tiring outing this time as the distance in between for every session was quite far. As a result, we have to rent a bike for transportation. By the way, I am facing problems on cycling as I didn’t play it for more then 10 years and my balancing was quite bad. Besides, it was so tiring while cycling up hills so I give up on some spot and carry up bike to the hills. It was so bad that I was left behind always, I wonder so good I have a light body.

Due to the place was so big and we only can go for a few places there. Here we spot the Taman Haiwan(Animals park), Taman Cendawan(Mushroom park), The pond and The weather house. Unfortunely the weather house was still under progress.
