Hi Chris, I also gotta know after seeing explaination of a photo in Panoramio about Mount Korbu. Anyway, I really cant name the peak in 6-Apr-2009 post "Tasek Cement". Well, I will find it out as u just triggered my curiosity to know what exactly is this another remarkable peak that can be seen from Ipoh :-)
haha...thanks Chun Kee. Lately I develop an interest in mountains and when try to find out which is Korbu, I got contrasting views - whether the Tasek Cement one or this one in the post at the right. :) Let me know once you found out.
Ok Chris :) I am planning to find out as many mountain name as possible for those seen from Ipoh. Hopefully this will help Ipoh people to know more about the mountains around this "hill city".
Hi Chris, i have something for u. I found the name of the peak which appeared in 6-Apr-2009 post "Tasek Cement". It suppose to be Mount Chabang (Gunung Chabang) with coordinates 4°32'18"N, 101°16'4"E. If u enter this coordinates into Google Earth and view at ground level view with "terrain" turned on, u will see the mountain is similar to the image i captured ;-)
That's great, Chun Kee. I heard about Gunung Chabang last year where some hikers were lost there. Didn't know this is the name of this peak. Well, just to let you know that besides Korbu, is Mount Gayong which is visible from Ipoh too! Looking forward to see your posts on Ipoh hills and mountains.
Thanks Chun Kee. I heard of Gunung Chabang before, late last year where some hikers were lost there. Didn't know this is called Mount Chabang..haha... Look forward to your posts on Ipoh's hills and mountains. In addition, besides Mount Korbu is Mount Gayong!
Thanks Chris. Yes, the one beside Korbu is Gayong. And i also just gotta know few more names like Yong Yap, Yong Belar... I need to confirm how it looked like from Ipoh.
Ipoh, the capital city of Perak State, Malaysia, is the city that tin built. Located at the famous tin mining area, Kinta Valley, it used to be the world's largest tin mine since 19th century. Not only of its tin mine, but Ipoh also famous of its delicious food, beautiful mountain ranges, mysterious lime stone caves, attractive history & friendly citizen. Being the second in Malaysia that gain the status of city in year 1988 after Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is one of the major cities in Malaysia with the population around 700,000. Began as a small village in 1870's, tin mine industry had brought in Chinese and Indian that boosted the town development since 1890's. The rapid growing town later upgraded to be the capital of Perak during the Japanese occupation at World War II. The rich tin resource had brought prosperity to many Ipoh miners that even make it once known as the City of Millionaires. Today, Ipoh has grown to cover a large area including the neighboring township such as Bercham, Tasek, Jelapang, Menglembu, Pengkalan, Simpang Pulai & Chemor. The city is still developing continuously while maintains its beauty of nature and harmony.
We are living in a busy world. We often have no time to appreciate the moments in our daily life. Take a break, stop & look around. There are many beautiful things, although it is simple & humble. I learn to gain a better life by appreciation & would like to share the images in my world.
