Scenic, calming environment

#summervacay Scenic, calming environment. Many find the blend of spiritual architecture and lush views soothing. Merit-making rituals. Activities like releasing turtles or lighting lanterns offer meaningful cultural engagement. Rest spots. Generous seating, shaded pavilions, and sheltered areas make it easy to move at a relaxed pace. Surrounding Food Culture. The nearby Ayer Itam Market is a hotspot for long-serving local food stalls — this is another big draw for older Malaysian visitors and tourists alike. Sisters’ Curry Mee – run by elderly sisters since the 1940s, a nostalgic experience as well as delicious. #couplestrip #travel
