Enjoy Sunset at Pantai Pasir Panjang, Perak

Just outside the Segari Turtles Sanctuary, there is a beach which you can watch sunset.

The beach is quite isolated and not many people will go there.

We went there on Saturday but still not many people were there. It like the whole beach is for us.

Hang out with some friends at beach on Saturday evening, the feeling is damn good.

However the sun was blocked by the cloud that day, so we didn't watch sunset as we wanted to

Although without sunset, the view is still beautiful like a paint.

Hopefully i can come back here again in future.

Pasir Panjang Segari Turtle Sanctuary, Perak

About 20KM from Lumut, there is a turtle breeding farm run by the Malaysia Department of Fisheries .

The sanctuary is open for public and the admission is free.

There are two type of turtle here, Green Turtle and Olive Ridley Turtle. You are allowed to touch the turtle here and if the officers are around, you might allowed to play with the turtles too.

The sanctuary provideing a safe place for baby turtles from their natural predators.

The numbers of turtles land on Pasir Panjang to lay eggs is become lesser, so the numbers of turtle eggs this sanctuary can collect also getting lesser.

Turtles are a very beautiful creature, can't imagine if one day this creature is no longer exist on our planet.

The sanctuary is located beside the beach and you can see an island from there which the shape really look like a turtle. Simply amazing

Famous Chee Cheong Fun of Teluk Intan, Perak

For those who like to eat 'Chee Cheong Fun', you should try the 'Chee Cheong Fun' here in Teluk Intan.

The most famous 'Chee Cheong Fun' here in Teluk Intan is 'Liew Kee (燎記) and also 'Sam Siao Ye (三少爷)'. The funny thing about the 'Chee Cheong Fun' here is it doesn't sell in the morning, it only available after 6pm. So if you want to have 'Chee Cheong Fun' for breakfast, I'm afraid you are not going to get it. This is what happened to us when we first arrived at Teluk Intan in the morning and we were told by the local it only open in the evening. However it doesn't stop us, we try again when we heading back to KL and finally the 'Sam Siao Ye (三少爷)' just about to open when we get there.

People mostly 'da bao' and bring back to eat but we was having there. Having 'Chee Cheong Fun' for dinner was kind of weired to me.

The 'Chee Cheong Fun' here is not like the one we usually see. They got mix something but I not sure what is it.

'Chee Cheong Fun' with curry

'Chee Cheong Fun' with prawn and vegetables

Thump up for the 'Chee Cheong Fun'!!

After a short visit at Teluk Intan, we continue our journey to Lumut. We then stop by at one place when we were attracted by an amazing view - a very large paddy farm. Link

I like the view here, the paddy farm and the sky is the perfect match.

We all like it here very much untill we called ourself 'The Paddy Boys'

Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan, Perak

Leaning Tower is a place you must go when visiting Teluk Intan, Perak.

The tower is 25.5 meter high and it was built in 1885 by a Chinese contractor named Leong Choon Chong.

The opening hour of the tower is 8am to 5pm on weekdays and 9am to 6pm on weekend and public holiday.

I really can't believe I actually standing inside a building which over hundred years old.

The tower have total of 8 level but you only allowed to go up to the first few level

Although the tower is over hundred years old and leaning but it still very stable

Really amazing when they can build such tower hundred years ago.
