Tasik Timah Tasoh, the beautiful lake of Perlis

📌Tasik Timah Tasoh, Perlis☀️

Tasik Timah Tasoh is known as mirror lake. This gorgeous lake🏞 in Kangar, Perlis is definitely worth a visit😍📸

Tasik Timah Tasoh is also known as Malaysia’s Guilin because of its mountainous backdrop and vast lake landscape, similar to the breathtaking view that the China city is famous for.

Unbeknown to many, the lake is actually a man-made reservoir built in 1992. Its name was derived from its two surrounding rivers – Sungai Timah and Sungai Tasoh.

More than just a scenic spot, the lake serves a number of purposes to the state of Perlis. They include supplying water, preventing floods by functioning as a catchment area, improving paddy fields irrigation system, and breeding fishes.

The size of the lake is ginormous as it measures close to 1,300 hectares – think the size of 1,806 football fields combined. It can also hold up to 35.3 million litres of water.

Perlis has always been the most overlooked state in Malaysia. There aren’t many stories of people travelling there for leisure and it’s mostly known as “the border of Thailand”. Once Timah Tasoh Lake gains popularity, it shouldn’t be long before Malaysians start planning a trip to the little state high up north.
