Taiping Description |
|
A Brief History
The name Taiping comes from the Chinese word Tai-Peng which means eternal peace. Taiping's history started more or less in the middle of the 19th century when the different warlords fought over the tin-fields in the Larut district of Perak. Chinese merchants had heavily invested in the tin mines and needed peace. So they pressured Raja Abdullah and several warlords to keep peace and accept the Pangkor Treaty 1874 . With the newfound peace many miners and shopkeepers came to the new city and within a year the city counted over 5000 inhabitants. With the growing tin industry, a good infra-structure was important. One of the first roads the was build was the Taiping-Kamunting road. Attractions
Taiping used to be the capital of Perak. Its disused mining pools have been cleverly turned into the beautiful and famous Taiping Lake Gardens. Other attractions include the hill resort Bukit Larut (Maxwell Hill); Taiping Zoo, which was the first zoo in Malaysia; and the Bukit Jana Golf and Country Club. If you’d like to savour a little bit of Taiping’s history, then the British Resident’s Residence is the place to visit. Taiping receives the most rainfall making it the wettest town in Peninsular Malaysia. The average annual rainfall is about 4,000mm in Taiping while the peninsula’s average is 2,000mm – 2,500mm.
