Don’t know where to go over the weekend? Well… lemme share with you places you can go (instagrammable too) for a weekend or 3D2N that is within 2-3 hours drive from KL. You won’t regret it.
Teluk Intan
1. Pulau
Bangau
Pulau
Bangau experience was one in a million. Pulau Bangau or Bangau Island is not
meant for us to visit, the highlight of Pulau Bangau is to capture the majestic
egrets flying home in V-formation, some fly high and some slightly above the
water. Seeing hundreds of them flying at dusk is certainly a wondrous moment. It is said that the island is home to more than 20,000 birds,
including 10 species of herons and egrets. Don’t think flying a drone at this time is safe
though.
2. Teluk Intan Heritage Trail
The Teluk
Intan Heritage Trail (you need drive around for this, not doable on foot) that
I partake is the standard historical sites that what we normally see and
experience but the river cruise heritage trail (Yup! RIVER) is simply
delightful, it was a heritage trail + eco-tourism combined therefore I highly
encourage you guys to give a try. Places that you will be covering are Old
Police Station/Central Station, Post Office, Hongkong and Shanghai Bank
Building, Old Court House, Church of St Luke the Evangelist, Madrasah
Al-Ihsaniah, Hock Soon Keong Temple and Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan.
3. Ladang MOCCIS
This place
is suitable for family and friends in my opinion, ativities around the complex
is suitable for family day, teambuilding and gathering among friends for
barbecue session. If you guys are wondering what type of activities available
here, there are plenty and you can do own tele-match game as well at the open
space. You can do the normal tele-match activities couple with kayak race, ATV
race, cycling race or perhaps do an Amazing Race type of game and include
fishing and cooking the fish as one of the task.
Bangan Datuk
4. Sunflower Garden
Instgrammable
spots are everywhere (the favourite for you Gen Y and after), from the
Staircase to Heaven to the Rattan Swing Chair and the Transparent Swing Chair,
Swing, Heart-shape frame and etc. You name it, they have it (well, most of it
lah). Aside from this, it is nearer and easier to reach than the one in Lopburi
AND it is definitely cheaper, a roadtrip with friends/family over the weekend
is a great idea to ponder upon.
5. Sky Mirror
The boat
ride took around 30mins or so from the jetty, before you know it, you’ll be at
the Sky Mirror. According to the operator, there are a few spots that gives you
this illusion and that it is highly depending on the tide. The one that we
visited was closer to the beach/island, and the operator will set it up for you
as most of the time, the tide is not on your favour.
6. Sungai Burung Aquarium
It’s a
privately own aquarium that is located in this quaint village. They have huger
garoupa, spotted gar, monitor lizards and etc.
7. Bagan Datuk Waterfront
Bagan Datuk
Waterfront is the new ‘in’ thing, coupled with the beautifully coloured town, I
foresee Bagan Datuk will draw visits from locals and be the latest
hot-lepak-place soon. The shophouses where built back in 1926 has now being
repainted (since 2018), the birth of the Tuminah Floating Mosque at the new
Bagan Datuk water front are gonna boom this place up.
Excited? Best kan… do plan a trip here.
