Cheow Lake

Reservoir Dogs

Imagine building a hydro dam inside a National Park flooding pristine jungle habitat and then marketing it as a tourist destination. Cheow Lake is 100 meters deep set inside massive limestone mountains. It is true that the man made islands are eerily beautiful but dodging the giant dead trees sticking out of the water is rather unsettling. It is hard not to think about the irreversible destruction below.
