Paradise born of a quarry closure


AN ABANDONED quarry in Kampung Guar Petai Penang has become a tourism hotspot with many netizens singing its praises on social media.

Located about 15km north-east from Butterworth town, the 800m by 800m square-shaped site which is also known as Bukit Katak (Frog Hill). It boasts of a blue-coloured lake surrounded by red cliffs which many say originated from past excavation works.
