Today I drove back to Penang but not without visiting the beautiful city of Kuala Kangsar. Just the scenery between Lumut and Kuala Kangsar was embedded in tropical greenery consisting of mangrove, banana trees and many other beautiful exotic flora. Unfortunately I forgot to charge the battery of my camera and there are not many photos of this beautiful place.
Kuala Kangsar is located in the middle of beautiful hills and forested areas. The combination between ancient royal architecture and nature is something that nobody should give a miss. The government put much effort in this city, a for Malaysian standards perfect walkway with beautiful plaster, all the heritage sites marked with illumination, man-made gardening all over the heritage walk.
I would recommend anybody to stay here for at least one night to do the walk in the morning or evening when it's illuminated. Kuala Kangsar is not yet well-known among tourists and therefore it is quite a local town with very cheap food prices. The tourist information is not too well organised and don't even provide maps. A very friendly library worker took the effort to draw a little map for me. This only happens when places are not swamped with visitors......
