About 100km south-west of Kuantan lies Lake Chini, Malaysia's second largest natural lake. It teems with a variety of freshwater fish, and the surrounding wilderness is home to unique flora and fauna. Primates such as White-handed gibbons, Long-tailed macaques, Pig-tailed macaques and Banded langurs have been sighted here.
At certain times of the year, the lotus-filled lake is an awesome sight to behold. Legends and folklore enshroud the lake with a mystical aura. Lake Chini is said to be the site of a submerged Khmer City, guarded by a mythical creature.
A host of activities can be enjoyed here, including boat rides, fishing trips and jungle trekking. For a fascinating experience, visit the Jakun settlement, one of Pahang's indigenous peoples and take home a unique handicraft. Overnight visitors can enjoy a stay in the solitary lakeside resort.
