VISITING TAMAN ANGGERIK AT TAMAN TASIK SHAH ALAM - PART TWO

[CONTINUATION OF PART ONE]

   7TH DECEMBER 2025    ~ After looking around at the stalls selling all sorts of agricultural products, we then entered Taman Anggerik [TRANSLATE: Orchid Garden] Shah Alam.

The garden was just officially opened by the Queen of Selangor two days ago. That was the reason behind the festive vibe of this place seen from afar.

The orchids and other plants looked brand new. They were just relocated to this particular area because of the event.

The garden was adequately large and could be the place for people to come with their family members and walk around while admiring the flowers and green plants. Children would love to run around the place for sure. However, make sure your kids do not pluck the flowers or destroy any of the plants there.

There was even a glasshouse which should be the attraction of the garden.

Under controlled sunlight and temperature, bigger blooms could be found here.

It started to drizzle once we came out of the glasshouse and we later had to run to the car or else we would get wet. [The rain then turned into heavy downpour once I reached the hotel].

I would love to come back to this place one more time so I could spend more time looking and admiring at the colourful flowers. I just hope the authority would be able to maintain this place as a recreational spot for the public.

VISITING TAMAN ANGGERIK AT TAMAN TASIK SHAH ALAM - PART ONE

   6TH DECEMBER 2025    ~ There seemed to be an event going on at Taman Anggerik [TRANSLATE: Orchird Garden] at Taman Tasek Shah Alam. My friend, Mr. Norazman, had some time to kll before sending me back to my hotel, so we stopped by to see if there was anything interesting.

We first went to see the rows of tents outside the garden. There were people selling all kinds of plants and gardening related items.

This place was the spot where a gardener's could spend hours looking around and eventually shop for both necessary and unnecessary items.

The temptation was so great to at least but something but I had to remind myself that I would be flying home the next day, and adding weight [and living plants] to my luggage was not a good idea.

I successfully restrained myself from buying anything and was ready to get into the orchid garden.

WALKING AROUND THE ORCHID PARK IN KUCHING

  8TH SEPTEMBER 2022    ~ This was one place which was not in the planned itinerary. We had so much time to kill before our flight at night and did not know where else to go in Kuching so here we were - walking around the park, admiring the beauty of the orchids.

There was no entrance fee and we were obviously the only visitors in the park at that very hour.

We managed to observe some of the colourful orchids in the park. Most probably, it was not the peak season for the flowers to sprout.

The place did not look big but after walking around and up the hilly area, it was actually a huge area to cover. Even though I am not a fan of orchids and do not have any at home, still this park is an interesting place to visit when in Kuching.
