Originating from an abandoned quarry in Kampung Guar Petai, this amazing piece of nature is thought to be a smaller version of China's famous Jiuzhaigou.
It is a secret lair of beautiful turquoise blue lake water intertwined with scenic views of the red dusty land of Penang's Frog Hill.
The climb to the top of this special natural area is not too steep, making it suitable for hiking with family and friends. Visitors will stumble upon an old red brick factory, signaling the right start to the journey. The trail is adorned with a red laterite road, creating a more picturesque atmosphere of the former mining site. As long as you wear comfortable and grippy shoes, your hike to the summit will be easy.
The reddish landscape of the trail begins to fade as you ascend. It is time to be mesmerized by the formation of rocks around your path with green wild grass and bushes.
The view from the top of the hill becomes a breathtaking album for your memory, with clear turquoise waters filling natural pools surrounded by splashes of red earth; providing amazing panoramic scenery that will take your breath away. The landscape is further enhanced by the green beauty of the rice fields, clumps of trees and houses, and the rare sighting of wild buffalo in the area.
Do you want to swim in the pools? Forward! The cold water will give you a refreshing experience, immersing you in the beauty of this magnificent natural wonder. There are also cliff jumping spots that will give you an adrenaline rush. However, remember to take precautions.
The small, secluded Frog Hill promises scenic views no matter the weather, but make sure you're well prepared for any conditions. The weather can be very hot and there are not many shelters. Therefore, it is recommended to bring a cap and sunscreen. On rainy days, be sure to keep all your belongings in a waterproof bag, or bring an umbrella with you instead. An umbrella can also be a camping staff to help you on your hike.
The edge of beautiful nature at the top of Frog Hill will make your short hike an unforgettable memory. So don't forget to add Frog Hill to your itinerary.
