I took these photos last Saturday evening. We stopped by at the Teluk Bahang Dam for a while before continuing our journey to Balik Pulau.
The scenic and beautiful
Teluk Bahang Dam, opened in 1999. Teluk Bahang Dam has the capacity of 19.24 billion litres.
Since 2002, the
Penang International Dragon Boat Festival (PIDBF) has been staged in Teluk Bahang Dam. The dam, located 1.2km from the seas off the northern coast of Penang Island, offers an ideal racing environment with scenic views of the hills and coastline. I am wondering whether
unker would enjoy himself kayaking in this dam?

sharl612,
yeah. Did u stop by this place during your previous during your previous company treasure hunt?
Must visit it when I am back next week.
you shuld try Tasik kenyir one day. one of the largest man-made lake in asia.
wah, nice nice pics..
from the angle you are taking the pictures, your photography skill have definitely improved a great deal! Congrats..
Had thought the dragon boat race was held in the open sea.. no?
BEautiful!!! Here in Belgium, beach is usually grey, cold, and ugly ;-)
I'm going to Penang this weekend for Cheng Beng to "visit" my grandfather. I'll try to get my parents to take me there...
cleaner than Selangor Dam lar..
it's my life story,
I presume u coming back next week for "Cheng Beng"?
err.. how come u choose the Teluk Bahang Dam as "a must visit" when u come back next week? I mean in comparison with all the other places since there are so many other nice places to visit :)
A fellow traveller,
Might be time to pay Penang a visit again? since this is your hometown (i presume) :)
slurp,
Tasik Kenyir.. Yeah, I have read about Tasik Kenyir in the past together with its limestone caves, but never visit that place yet. In fact, I've never been to Terengganu. Went to east coast once only.. that is to Kota Bahru, Kelantan including the Pantai Cahaya Bulan.
Robin,
hahha.. I thought what u want to say :D Belanja u one bowl of ais kacang with fresh fruits and ice cream when u come upnorth to Penang :)
Lrong,
I read about the dragon boat race being held in the Teluk Bahang Dam several times but I didn't really go all the way there to witness the event. Might be if I'm free this year, I will go there to have a look, and of course take some nice shots ;)
Thao,
Thanks. I will take some shots of Feringghi Beach in the future. Well, not all lakes or beaches in Malaysia are nice/clean. Some are very muddy and dirty as well... equivalent to "Milo" or "Teh Susu" (tea with condensed milk) ;)
Tibbar,
I Coming to Penang this coming weekend ? I presume there will be heavy traffic on the road this coming Sunday cos of "Cheng Beng". Yeah, enjoy the nice Penang hawkers food this coming weekend.
foodcrazee,
Selangor Dam ah? Dunno how it looks like cos never been there before :)
