Homestay at The Mulberry Peaceland, Lumut Perak

We had a very enjoyable 2 days trip at Lumut. All this thanks to Mr Wang Tao (王涛), the owner of the Mulberry Peaceland (憩园桑林) Homestay.

The house is a British Style house which was build during the British colonial era

Although the house is old but it is very spacious and comfortable to stay.

This room called 'Juliet and Romeo'. I wondered why Mr Wang Tao give this name cause Juliet and Romeo is such a sad love story and I think no one will actually want to be like Juliet and Romeo after staying this room.

The house also have a very big backyard

When I wake up in the morning and walk around in the backyard, the feel was so great. I just sat at the tree and look to the sky, it was relaxing. Thanks to Mr Wang Tao again for arrange such a wonderful trip.

I had conquered Bukit Ungku Busu

I heard people said Bukit Ungku Busu is not very hard to climb, so I decided to give it a try.

But when I was climbing it, I think those people was lying to me

It not easy at all

I almost faint on the half way

But with the help of my friends

I finally make it to the top and the feeling was damn good.

After this climb, it really had give me a big motivation to me for the next climb. But before that, I must train hard first to increase my stamina.

The Mangrove Forest Park of Lumut

The Mangrove Forest Park (Taman Paya Bakau) is another attraction of Lumut.

You no need to worry about getting wet or dirty while you are in the Mangrove Forest Park because they have a walk way for people to walk around.

In Mangrove Forest park, of course you can see a lot of mangrove tree but you also can see some animals which living in the mangrove forest.

For example like lizards, monkeys and crabs.

Please don't stay too near with the monkeys here because they are not friendly at all. They will grab anything from you which they think is food or water.

The park also have a hanging bridge.

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

Incredible View From A Paddy Farm

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.

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.

Lukut Museum at Negeri Sembilan

There are nothing much you can do in Lukut except visit the Lukut Museum.

Lukut used to be an important tin mining area during the 19th century.

In the museum you can see a lot of historical things about mining in Lukut.

The museum is located at the hill.

You can go on the top of the hill and enjoy the view of Kota Lukut.

It has a very great view when you can see the whole Lukut area from the hill.

Eat Seafood at Pulau Ketam

It is not very far from Kuala Lumpur to Pulau Ketam. If you take Komuter from KL Sentral to Port Klang, it take about one hour.

From Port Klang, it take about another half hour to reach Pulau Ketam by ferry.

The ferry is just cost RM 7.00 per way

It can fit around 80 people and the ferry also have air-condition.

We went there on Labour day and it was damn lot of people.

Pulau Ketam basically is a fishing village, so don't expect you can find white sand beach or bikini girl walking around.

At Pulau Ketam, to rent a bicycle is quite cheap. Only RM 5.00 per day.

Here you can see a lot of crabs, i think may be this is the reason why it called Pulau Ketam.

Actually nothing much you can do here. You can walk around to see the fishing village and 1 day trip will be more than enough.

But one thing you must do here is to try the seafood.

You can find a lot of seafood here and it also quite cheap.
