Taiping-Sitiawan-Ipoh One Day Trip (Part 1)

Last month, I was so glad to have many celebrations with family. There were my birthday, family trip and many more. I will try my best to blog out soon later. Well, on 1st September 2012 it was a replacement holiday for National Day. I was requested day off on that date and planned an outing with family.


#1 Taiping the Heritage City
We were out from house in the early morning around 5 or 6 something and travelled along the North South Highway to reach Taiping. Actually our destination is to the Seaside Tua Pek Kong Temple at Pasir Panjang, Sitiawan.

#2 Had my breakfast - Dried Koay Teow before we moved on.

It was a long way from Taiping traveled to Sitiawan. It was like a different town from Taiping or Ipoh city. It is located at the district of Manjung which not well developed yet like Ipoh City. We traveled along the estate and on the way there was a lot of trees and forest but there was really few cars. Along the way, I can see the view of kampung.

#3 After the 2 hours journey from Taiping, we finally reached that place!

#4 The statues that set up in front of temple was so huge and cool.

#5 There was a kids fun park inside the temple area too.

#6 Behind the temple there was a place for people to take a rest and maybe buy for something. An advice to you, if you want to buy those Perak popular items, buy it other place because the price at there is a bit expensive.

#7 Here come the classical temple of Tua Pek Kong.

#8 The four statue of the God in front of the temple entrance!

There were crowded of people inside the temple. As many of them were visitors like us. From my grandma, this temple was founded long time ago by the villagers by the sea and recently there was a Singapore investor getting a good luck from the Tua Pek Kong in this temple and as the rewards back he donated a big amount of money to rebuild and renew the temple and turned it into the another tourist spot at Sitiawan.

#9 The nice scenery can be captured behind the temple. It was so nice!

#10 It is a pond which full of fishes.

#11 The beautiful and natural look of the pond.

#12 I am in action with my new hairstyle in front of the nice scenery!

#13 My sister in action with her chubby face! :D
Alright I think the first part I will end here and stay tuned for the Part 2 coming up soon. In next post, I will continue blogging about this temple and also the trip to Ipoh. Check it out... Posted by GenYong 10.10.2012
