Penang Ferry

Bagan Lalang, Sungai Pelek (Sepang Selangor)

HighWay - 高速公路

每一个飞速过的影子都带着相聚与分离奔驰在高速公路。思念往往都在超速，心情随着靠近而欣慰；远离而惆怅。

以前很喜欢靠着巴士窗口，看着景色迅速后退，从一个小岛往南方的大城市迈进，但我却常常把心遗留在后方。每一次走过大挢，都不会忘记向她道别：我要走了！其实我不很想常回来，因为舍不得，不想拖着脚步离开她，不想重覆太多次。我常想人长大了是否会走得更远?寻找更美好的梦，慢慢的才发现心却拴在一个圈里。所以毕业后我选择回来。。。。

Mengkuang Dam

Mengkuang dam is the biggest dam in Penang, 23,639 million litres of storage capacity but it is not the main water supply source for Penang, almost 80% of treated water was come from Sungai Muda, Kedah.

Penang has 3 dams
Mengkuang Dam (mainland)
- The biggest in Penang

Teluk Bahang Dam (at island)
- Newest dam, built around 1999 by China company
- 7 times larger than Ayer Itam dam
- Near to Penang Butterfly farm

Ayer Itam Dam (at island)
- Opened in 1962
- 700 feets above sea level, near to Kek Lok Si Temple

In Penang, dam is place for recreation and tourist attraction (actually I don't think so, seldom see any foreigner around the areas). Place for jogging, hiking, sport (dragon boat) and also good for family day, too. Since the places are far from urbanized area and close to catchment zone so the air is quite fresh, the scene also quite charming. You can take a visit to the places when you are in Penang, close to mother nature and learn to appreciate them, especially the precious water.
