Lake Chini is Malaysia’s second biggest natural freshwater lake, located in the state of Pahang. Located approximately 100km from Kuantan town, Lake Chini lies majestically among 12,000 acres of lush tropical wilderness. Lake Chini consists of 13 interconnecting water bodies, each with its own characteristics. With its well known myths, the Lake has attracted many visitors from various destinations. It is believed that it was once the site of an ancient Khmer city with a mythical dragon guarding it.
Enjoy a boat ride through a narrow river canopied by huge tropical rainforest trees. Thousands of white and pink water lilies blook from August through September, transforming the lake into a floating multi-coloured garden. On the fringe of the lake, there is a large concentration of aborigines from the Jakun tribe. Visit an Aboriginal Settlement and observe how a blowpipe which is their main hunting weapon, is used.
