Ho and
Bro tout their hometown attractions…
.
Ho: I recommend you go to
Ipoh. Heritage buildings, street murals, balanced multiculture. But mainly, go
to see the limestone. That’s most of all.
.
Bro: Karst landscape. Rugged
beauty. Majestic verticality. But my town, Taiping. Aah! A town built around ten lakes fringed with rain trees. Serenity. What more can you dream of?
.
Ho: But karst has a natural
grandeur. It is so old. Three hundred, four hundred million years of rain
carving. Taiping’s lakes are only a hundred and fifty years. Holes carved by
tin-mining. Not so natural.
.
Bro: But Taiping’s rain
trees? That’s nature!
.
Ho: And the age of the
trees? 100 to 200 years? Cannot hold a candle.

Voice-over
Cliffs carved by rain over
millions of years. Lakes carved out of tin mines run dry. Geological grandeur
vs botanical beauty vie for visitor viewings. Such might be the summary of
sights in Ipoh and Taiping.
