This lake in Johor (sorry Klang Valley people) will remind you of Kerid Crater in Iceland. While the mesmerizing blue lake is not suitable for swimming, it is worth a visit (at least for you to flex on 📸Instagram). This place can be quite challenging to hike, especially for beginners, but... we will do anything for a nice photo.. right?😏 (must persevere!).
📍 Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai, Johor

A mysterious sight to behold and can only be witnessed at nighttime (ouh sounds 💀spooky~ but actually not-lah). This phenomenon, commonly called the Blue Tears, is caused by a type of plankton called Dinoflagellates that emits a blue glow at night!
You can witness this phenomenon by riding on a 🚤boat. If you plan to capture the beautiful sight of the blue tears, make sure to bring a DSLR or some high functioning 📷camera. That is because an ordinary camera will not be able to handle it's beauty capture the beautiful blue glow.

When you reach the peak, you will find yourself surrounded by white clouds with sun rays trying to sip in and nothing else but the rocky ground below your feet with cold breezy air blowing your cheeks.

Located in Putrajaya, this is literally a concrete jungle in the city. Every single corner of this place is very instagrammable!
