Taman Rekreasi Tasik Melati (GPS: 6.50681, 100.24322) is a public recreational area in Perlis. Its main feature is a lake that has been beautified for public use. There are pavilions over the water linked by walkways. It is a beautiful place to go for a stroll, and looks particularly scenic on a clear day.
Tasik Melati was created out of wetland which was handed over by the Perlis State Government to the Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia, which is under the Minstry of Natural Resources and Environment, for development. It actually serves as a reservoir. An embankment was built so that the retained water can be used to irrigate the surrounding paddy fields, which is about 350 acres.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
