DANGA BAY JOHOR BAHRU :)

Hi this is my 5th blog. I want to share about Danga Bay. Danga Bay is such a famous places in Johor. There are many things to do in Danga Bay. There have waterpark, mall, petting zoo, beach, country garden and hotel. Danga Bay  is just a short 7 km trip from Johor Bahru's bustling city center in the central business district. It's located in south central Iskandar, stretching some 25 km along the Straits of Johor. Danga Bay boasts some of the best scenery, fun attractions and best tasting restaurants and cafes in all of Johor. This is one of the biggest attraction draws for parents traveling with children and perhaps the biggest reason people visit the Bay during daylight hours, as it's a budget-friendly alternative to the pricier Legoland Theme Park in Nusajaya. There's no high speed roller coasters hurling you a hundred feet in the air, at a hundred miles an hour. That's not what Danga World is all about. Here you'll find rides and attractions suited to children under 12, which are also great for couples in love to enjoy time together and soak up the scenery. That all about Danga Bay. Come and have a vacation at Danga Bay. Im truly sure you’ll be satisfied.

Overview, Kuala Perlis is a fishing town located at the estuary of Perlis River, the visit to the town will not be complete without tasting the local seafood dishes.

Kota Kayang Museum / Muzium Kota Kayang

Kota Kayang Museum is located around Kayang Hill, LambongPanah Hill and Menara Hill in Kayang vicinity, the oldest man-made canal in Peninsular Malaysia. Overview. it has a very long and rich history before it finally became a museum in 1991. This 4.84 hectare land which the museum currently stands belonged to Syed Salim as a gift from Raja Syed Alwi. At the end of 19th century, Syed Salim built his residence and stayed with his family until it was sold to the state government. After that, the building becomes the official residence of British Advisors. During the Japanese occupation, the house became the Military Administration until 1945, where the Thai Military Government took over

After independence, the government of Perlis took over and became the official residence to Chief Minister. Finally in 1991, the building was demolished and rebuilt, to be structurally identical to the previous building and converted it to a museum. The museum houses Islamic artifact, Perlis/Kedah craft and item belonging to the royal family. Hotels in Perlis are not luxurious, but suffice to provide a comfort rest with basic necessity.

Padang Besar

Padang Besar is a border town in the north of Perlis, the northern-most state in Malaysia. The Padang Besar border crossing is the only direct rail link between Malaysia and Thailand, and a quieter and less direct road crossing than Bukit KayuHitam in Kedah. The town on the Thai side of the border, in Songkhla province, is also called Padang Besar - however Malaysians differentiate between the two by calling the Thai town "Pekan Siam" or "Siamese Town". 

Much more tame and sanitized than its Thai counterpart, Malaysia's Padang Besar still attracts many Malaysians who come to shop for items imported from Thailand which are available in abundance at lower prices. The town is a "shopping heaven" and popular destination for Malaysians because of the duty-free shopping complex in between the border checkpoints of the two countries. The town attracts several thousand visitors from Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand every weekend and public holiday.

PERAK DARUL RIDZUAN

          Hye and Assalamualaikum everyone, how are you ? I hope you are in a good healthy. Okay, today I want to share with  everyone about my country that is Perak DarulRidzuan.

          First of all, I will tell you about my place which name is Taiping or it is famous with name Raintown Taiping. Taiping is the beautiful town situated in the state of Perak in Malaysia. Formerly known as KlianPauh, it was renamed Taiping to commemorate the end of the Larut War in 1874. With the signing of the Pangkor Treaty on the 20^th of January 1874, Taiping emerged to be the major  town in Perak. Taiping comes from the Chinese word Tai-Peng which means ETERNAL PEACE. And indeed with the decision of the British government to make Taiping into their administration center, the once slow-paced town has been transformed into a busy and development town compared to others in that era.

          Together with progress comes a string of historical firsts that has made Taiping into one of the oldest town in Malaysia. Today, more than 100 years later, Taiping unfolds the history of the making of this modern nation. Taiping was once a thriving mining town and used to be the capital of Perak. Its disused mining pools have been cleverly turned into the beautiful and famous Taiping Lakes Garden.

          Taiping receives the most rainfall making it the wettest town in Peninsular Malaysia. The average annual rainfall is about 4,000mm in Taiping, while the peninsula’s average is 2,000mm-2,500mm. How to get there ? Taiping is 88km from Penang, 80km from Ipoh and 320 km from Kuala Lumpur. It is about an hour’s drive from Ipoh via the highway. Penang is just one hour drive up north. There are frequent bus services from all major towns in Peninsular Malaysia and even from Singapore. But, if you prefer, you can get there by train.

There are places you should check out when you visit Taiping
