Mystical Tasik Chini

Tasik Chini, a lake mystified by it's dragon and sunken Khmer city
and the only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Malaysia
but yet it's slowly dying,
by the human hands who is suppose to protect it.

    1. lina,
      it's dying because of land clearing,logging,mining,plantation around the lake
      and some wise guy dammed the outlet river of the lake.
