Lucky Valley

I studied in Muadzam Shah for 5 years but I never heard of this place called Lucky Valley until my final year of study.

Lucky Valley's Chinese name - 乐居岭

My friends who have been there told me that Lucky Valley is just a few kilometers away from Muadzam Shah and they said that I should go there and take a look because it is kind of special. They also told me that many city folks like to go there during weekends to meditate. My first reaction was: “Meditate???!!! In the middle of the jungle?!”

So out of curiosity, I decided to go there and check it out.

The bumpy road to Lucky Valley

The entrance to Lucky Valley is not a proper road, it is covered with rocks and mud. What makes the journey even harder is that the road is the combination of many steep uphill and downhill slopes. Obviously the road was made for four wheels drive vehicles like Mitsubishi Pajero, but the curiosity to find out about the place made me continue the journey with my mom’s SLK (Super Little Kancil).

4 people in a Kancil, driving on a road like this wasn’t fun. After a long bone-cracking journey we finally arrived at the gate of Lucky Valley. To be honest, the gate looks creepy, it’s like the entrance to an old castle.

When we arrived, there was nobody there. So we decided to look around. There were small offices, a canteen, a nice lake and a hostel, which were all empty. Weird thing was that all the doors were not locked. Maybe they think that no thieves will want to steal things in the middle of the jungle.

We walked around the compound and thought that there’s nothing special, just a school-like facilities where people meditate by the lake. So we decided to go somewhere else to discover the place.

We drove deeper into the compound of Lucky Valley and found something amazing.

There’s a pyramid-like building in the middle of the jungle.

The shape of the top of the pyramid is like one of the roundabouts in Kangar

We were excited and quickly went down to take some photos. I got to admit that the place was peaceful and a perfect place for the meditation “kaki”. People can meditate outside to enjoy the fresh air in the jungle and when it’s raining or too hot, they can continue meditating inside the building.

We were amazed when we got inside the building. It was like an air-cond room even though no fan was turned on, I couldn’t figure it out why, the heat from the outside never reach into the building.

Too many jargons, if you understand please explain it to me

A quick look around inside the building and we found out that this place got something to do with magnetic field. Meditating inside a good magnetic field for the body can achieve peace of mind blah blah blah… I don’t understand the reason because I studied accounting, but as a conclusion it’s good for u lah.

A few hundreds meters away from the building is a small deer farm. I don’t know whether the deers were meant to be food for people or as pets. But if there were raised for their meat then they were not lucky enough to be in Lucky Valley.
