• Orang Utan Island - Your private tour of Taiping & Orang Utan Island from Kuala Lumpur begins with a hotel pick-up by a friendly and professional driver. A 4-hour drive north along the North South Expressway takes you to the tranquil community of Bukit Merah town, passing through small palm oil plantations and pineapple fields.

Upon arrival, board a ferry boat to Orang Utan Island. Step ashore and marvel at the ‘People of the Jungle’ or Orang Utan, an endangered species. Known for their intelligence, Orang Utans have one of the longest birth intervals, averaging once every 8 years. Enjoy an hour and a half at this dedicated rehabilitation sanctuary and capture plenty of photos for memories.

• Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve - Just twenty minutes from Taiping is Kuala Sepetang or Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve, a charming fishing village on the coast that has seen better days. However, it is gaining popularity among urbanites seeking a break from city life and an increase in ecotourism activities.

Travelers can cruise by the river to see the mangroves, feed eagles and fish, and visit a charcoal factory. Additionally, this place is a paradise for seafood lovers who enjoy fresh seafood (all activities here are at your own cost).

• Taiping Lake Gardens - The Taiping Lake Gardens is the first public garden established during British rule in Malaysia. Located near Bukit Larut, it is equidistant to the town center and the Taiping Zoo.

This expansive evergreen park is designed around former tin mining ponds and is surrounded by beautiful rain trees as old as the park itself.

The Lake Gardens serves as a large community center where people from all walks of life gather every evening, especially on weekends. Join in the fun by renting a paddleboat (at your own cost) and rowing around the lake before taking a long, breezy stroll.

• Taiping War Cemetery - The Taiping War Cemetery is the final resting place for Allied personnel who were killed during World War II, particularly during the Malayan Campaign and the Japanese occupation of Malaya. Servicemen who died after the war or during their posting in northern Malaya prior to the Malayan Emergency are also buried here.
• Aun Tong Coffee Mill - Aun Tong Coffee Mill was founded in 1933 in Taiping, Perak. Its founder, Mr. Tiah Ee Mooi, made his coffee a popular drink among locals, with his signature product “Antong” remaining a favorite brew among coffee lovers, both local and abroad.

After half a century, Antong Sdn Bhd has grown significantly, developing into a modern coffee roaster. By researching the best business practices, Antong is capable of producing 10 tons of roasted coffee beans per day.

Today, after 80 years in the coffee trade, Antong has perfected the art of coffee roasting to meet customers’ expectations and satisfy various demands.
