chemperai-jering-lornie trails
today, walked the boardwalks of chemperai and jering trails and returned by way of the well-used lornie trail. the distance of this route is slightly longer than the prunus-petai boardwalk, about 4.8km.
this stretch hugs the water-edge all the way. however, it does not seem to be as popular as the prunus-petai trail. the chemperai trail is longer than the jering. along both walks, you will come across the tinfoil barbs; at chemperai, they are found near the start of the boardwalk while at jering, they are found at the end of it. in the shallows, i also saw a 45cm aruan -snakehead fish - swimming about nonchalantly, with no fear or regard for humans.
along the chemperai, there is a tree overhanging the water and they have modified the walk to accommodate this leaning tree. they have erected supports for the trunk of the tree and because it is so low, they have lowered the height of the boardwalk at this point.
somewhere, in between the two boardwalks, there is an old chinese tombstone built right at the water edge. some chinese characters carved on the vertical slab reveals the year of death as 1876 and the surname of the deceased as fan. it has been there for around 130 years.
