Taman Pertanian Bkt Cahaya, Shah Alam

Last week, I called Cai and asked her to join me to agricultural park (taman pertanian) located in Shah Alam on weekend since god knows how many times she mentioned about how fun cycling in the park, and caused a tingle in my heart.

Malaysian Agricultural Park, considered Malaysia's first and biggest Agricultural Park. Not only it serves recreational purposes, Malaysia's natural attributes are preserved here. It also places a research and information center which mainly focuses on agriculture.

The park spreads over 865 hectares and offers visitors with interesting sights including Paddy Field, Cactus Garden, Orchid Garden, Butterfly Garden, Garden of Herbs and Spices, a fishing pond and other preserved nature surroundings. The park is open for public and perfect for family outings and student's activities. [source]

Here I come, taman pertanian! As you read from the introduction, this is a huge park, walk or cycle? Your choice! By the way, you can also take free shutter bus.

Old bicycles are for rent at RM 3 for the first hour and the new bicycles are RM 5 for the first hour. To extend the next hour it is only RM 1. We rented a bike, and begun our journey! Biking is really really fun but your endurance and stamina are to be tested. The best part is when you sliding down the hill without applying brake, but do beware of vehicles coming to your way.

As you can see, I don't exercise much, so it's kinda tiring. Cai is consider semi-pro, she even warmed me from the beginning that she won't wait for me! You are so cruel! You see her face, she is so relax, compare to me, do i look like being forced to cycle with her?

There is a four season house in the park, which display different scene in different season. When the time i went, it's early winter, so, snow all over the place, the small river freeze. It was freaking cold inside, the temperature was like -2 to -4, u can imagine and I were in my singlet.

The other attractive part is the skytrex! I went there once with my CS buddies, and I am organizing one, in December, please leave your name if you want to join, RM35.00/pax with 2 hours trex in the air. You can visit to this site for more information.

We only managed to cover half of the park before I gave up. Challenging exercise, you guys must try! I definitely will go again.
