Chini is a fantastically
shaped lake, surrounded by forest, and connected to Sungai Pahang by
the beautiful jungle creek Sungai Chini (see Satellite
Photo). |
|
|
 |
| It
is not only a place of
natural beauty, |
 |
 |
 |
| but also a place the Orang Asli depend on. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| It is famous for its bunga teratai
(lotus flowers), whose seeds are edible. |
 |
 |
 |
| Thickets of Rasau (Pandanus helicopus)
are fine hiding places for fish, turtles, and an occasional geriang (big
monitor lizard). |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
| The
lake offers an enchanting scenery, a unique ecosystem and rich flora
and fauna.
