Penang Air Itam Dam

Air Itam Dam, originally uploaded by stareternity.

Let me introduce you another nice place in Penang - the Air Itam Dam.

This dam was built for 4 years and it was completed at the year 1962. Officiated by the first governor of Penang, TYT Raja Tun Uda at 8th December 1962.

There is a path circulating the dam, which now most people jog and cycling along the path. Situated at the top of Kek Lok Si temple, however couldn't have a view of the temple from here. Instead, a spectacular view of the Georgetown can be seen.

This dam provides drinking water for Penangnites besides the dam in Teluk Bahang and Mengkuang Bukit Mertajam.
