Decided to take Lil Rainbow out for an excursion during the weekend. Since she always enjoy feeding the fish at Lye Huat Stone Garden, we decided to head there.
Situated at KM19.7 of the North South Highway, this is actually a very nice place to visit. It's privately owned but I call it an all-in-one place. In it you get a park, a very nice one, a mini zoo which is really quite well-stocked with animals, an aquarium, a mini museum, an extensive stone collection, bonsai park and a few other interesting stuff. The facade of the park. BTW, entrance is RM10 for adults and RM4 for kids below 12.
One of the exhibits that greets visitors upon entry. These are bronze replicas of the terracota warriors ... they're right down to the actual size.
This is from the museum...don't see this kind of machine these days. Was used to separate the rice from the husk, I think.
This brings back memories...as a kid I used to stay beside a rubber factory. Those days they used this to flatten the latex. Once it is flatten they will smoke the rubber pieces. The smoke would get into everything!
Came across this decapitated sculpture while walking around.
An albino python.... I've seen this one grow. Son has put it around his neck before, but it was quite small those days. But don't think so he'll dare to do so now that it is so humongous.
Bambi's friends. There is also an aquarium in the park. You can see the
pirarucu, a fish native to the Amazon there. I think there are quite a number of them, each one measuring 8 feet or more.
Miniature replicas of scenic locations in China as well as Malaysia.
Bicycle collection. The bicycle collection is actually quite extensive.
The owner of the park has been able to get all this pieces of door frames with intricate carvings and transported them here. They're really works of art.
Bonsai park, they're lots of them all over the park. The landscaping is actually quite nice.
This is another one of the many bonsai overlooking the lake. It's kinda unique.
The reason why we went to the park...to feed the fish. You can buy the fish food from the entrance at RM1 per packet. It's really nice to feed them cos they come in droves.
And you can actually touch them and they actually eat from your hand!
It's one of the nicer places up north. If you happen to be on the way to Haatyai, you definitely have to pass by it. The owner started the park over 10 years ago as a place for tea lovers. It was supposed to be a place where you can go sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the evenings and sip tea at the same time. It has evolved since then.
