The Mines Wonderland

For more than half a century, Hong Fatt Mine was the world's largest open cast mine ever known to man. Today, the miners have gone and the machines have ceased operations. And at that abandoned place now is a 150-acre man-made lake. Surrounding the blue lake is a resort city that sprawls over 1,000 acres. The Mines Resort City is presently home to the Seven Wonders of Malaysia. It is the country's latest destination. Destined to be Asia's most amazing destination. The mines Resort City has played host to Head of States and International events.

The theme park , The Mines Wonderland is the first of the seven Mines Resort City components. The Mines Wonderland was establishes for education and recreation purposes. With this in mind, every scenic spot, garden and fun ride within the park has its special purpose and meaning. Ice factory with a temperature of between -10°C to -15°C filled with interesting learning facts and fun excitemen, the open-air musical fountain theater incorporating light, musical and water, special performances by the Kadazans dancers, animal kingdom with various kinds of animals, light fantasy on the lakeside, dragon sculptures, coin garden, unity train, road train, garden boat, vintage car, water taxi and more."

Back to last year Christmas Eve, 24 December 2006, my dear and I though of going a place for celebrating our very first Christmas together. We decided went to The Mines Wonderland with the mind of The Mines Wonderland is the first winter wonderland in Malaysia beside surrounding the blue lake that sprawls over 1,000 acres. However, we found out that it's a education and recreation trip custom made just specially for family with children, it's not a romance or adventure trip for singles and couples. So, singles and couples that planning to go there for a romance or adventure trip, my advice is, "It is not that romantic and adventurous as what you had though of! Yet, it will be no problem to have a walk there just for recreation or fun!"
