远离尘嚣的肯逸湖 Kenyir Lake

整个小岛包括旅客都不上20人，这里没有城市一般的设备，手机也无用武之地，我们就像到了一个与世隔绝的原始部落。 这就是登加楼州肯逸湖Musang度假村的情况， 少一份喧哗，多一份宁静。

肯逸湖在1985年建成，为全东南亚最大的人造湖，在国内不算是闻名旅游区。这也可理解，这里除了钓鱼，便没有其他活动。如果不是为了拍摄风光照，也不会兴致勃勃地开车400多公里来到这里。

但我并没有失望，肯逸河河水平静如一面镜子。天空，枯树，山丘和其倒影，併成一幅美丽的自然景观，置身在如此大自然，有另一种体会，是我们平日生活中无法领略的宁静。是天，地与人合一的感觉？能确定的是：一切都是那么样的和谐和平静。

晚上，度假村来了特别的访客，一头野象静悄悄地来到我们下榻的度假屋前，推倒几棵香蕉树，逗留多时才离开度假村。根据工作人员说：她每年都会来，就像这里是她必经之路，度假村的人也没有加于为难。短暂的邂逅，人和兽都相安无事。其实，这里原本是他们的地盘，她才是森林的主人，我们岂可反客为主？

肯逸湖虽然不是旅游胜地，我却爱上她那纯朴的美和那一份宁静。

We spent two nights in Musang Kenyir Resort last month. This resort is located in the northern part of Kenyir Lake. Though the resort is not really far away from Kuala Berang in Terengganu, it looks as if we were staying in a very remote village without electricity supply and out of reach from all types of telecommunication systems! It is really ‘back to nature’ as stated in the web site of the resort.

Kenyir Lake was created in 1985. This is the biggest man made lake in South-East-Asia. Judging from the small number of tourists who visited this area, it cannot be considered as a popular tourist destination in Malaysia. Besides fishing, camping and mountain trekking, there are not many other activities here to attract visitors.

This is my first visit to Kenyir Lake, with the intention of taking landscape photographs. I was not disappointed as I enjoyed the peaceful environment and the spectacular scenery. The water is crystal clear, the tree stumps, the hills, the sky and their reflection in the water create an awesome natural landscape painting.

At night, we had a strange visitor, an elephant came right up to our door step. It turned out to be a friendly one!
