This legendary lake located some 80 kilometers from the major town of Kuantan, is  sandwiched between a low hill and the massive Pahang River. 

Occupying a flat lowland of 1200 hectares, the watery area comes in the shape of 12 lakes interlinked like a circle. Its remoteness, fuelled by a legend, visitors to this serene locality can sense an eerie feeling particularly at dusk. Perhaps it could be the dark colored water that continue to hide unknown secret that every visitor would like to know more. This place makes a perfect trip or day excursion for visitor landed in Kuantan. At certain time of the year, the entire lake will be coated with  field of pink colored Lotus flower interspersed with some white species.

Do not expect to see breath taking scenery from this wilderness. Nor this vast expenses of water being a haven for outdoor fisherman. There is none, as the lake is situated in a flat land and over the years, due to lack of control, livestock  of fishes in the lake was slowly depleted.

Having said that, the lake district is indeed a beautiful place to spend some quiet time together with nature. there are still many interesting plants and unusual scene
