Malaysia: 13 Spots Inside Mines Wellness City
History
The story started a hundred years ago when a Chinese immigrant Chan Wing came to Malaya and discovered tin ore in a site abandoned by Europeans earlier. This became the largest open cast tin mine in the world. Mining in the area left a gaping hole of 2 kilometers long, a kilometer wide and 200 meters deep. Gradually rain waters began to fill the crevice and thus was the humble beginning of the two great lakes you can see today.
