WEEKEND SIGHTSEEING
Thursday, 2 July 2015 | 09:00 | 0 candie blossom
What do we do
during weekend? Movie? Shopping?
Dining out with family and friends?
Cleaning? There are a lot of
activities that can be done during weekend.
We don’t necessarily need a lot of money to be allocated for a short
sightseeing during weekend. This
activity is fun and can strengthen the relationship between family members or
friends. Some people think that we need
to allocate a certain amount of money for a holiday. I might say no. We can go for a short trip holiday or
sightseeing during weekend at a low cost.
It is just how you spent the time and not the money.
You don’t have to think of long distance destinations to be going for a short trip sightseeing. I believe that there are a lot of places that
you haven’t discovered yet. I can
suggest you a few interesting places to be visited. Historical site, modern building, places of
worship, parks and garden, nature’s park and a few more. If you are interested in historical places,
you can choose to go to Klang. Klang is
a district that appeared earlier than Malacca.
Klang has many waterways that are made out of rivers, including Sg.
Klang, Sg. Bertek, Sg. Pinang, Sg. Binjai and few others. Klang fire station is also very interesting
place to be visited. Built in 1890s, the
fire station with Victorian style architectural design is located at the
junction of Jalan Tunku Diaudin and Jalan Tungku Kelana. Ask permission from the officer to pose as a
fireman and snap photos especially selfies!
Are you a food
lover? Chong Kok Kopitiam @ Jalan
Station is one of the best places for breakfast. Toasted bread with kaya and butter spread
with coffee can kick start your trip.
And for lunch, tasty banana leaf rice at Kawasan 1, Klang is highly recommended. After food, we continue sightseeing, not so
far to Klang, I might recommend Carey Island.
It is an island in northern Banting.
It is a huge island separated from the Selangor coast by the Langat
River. It was named after Valentine
Carey, a former British civil service officer in Malaya long time ago.
To those who want to embrace the nature, let us go to the Selangor State Park. Taman Negeri Selangor or known as Taman Warisan Negeri Selangor is the third largest park in Peninsular Malaysia.The park area, rich in flora and fauna, is significant in maintaining existing levels of biodiversity resources.The wealth of biodiversity of the Park also contributes to Malaysia’s classification as one of the mega-biodiversity countries in the world.Very interesting right? I have one more beautiful location to be introduced, which is the Templer’s Park. Only 6km away from Rawang, this forest reserve consists of multi-tiered waterfalls, jungle streams and trails. Several amenities are available in this forest reserve, such as picnic grounds, fishing spots, parking lots, public toilets and stalls.
I am so excited
to tell you about everything but not to forget few waterfalls located nearby
only which are suitable for sightseeing or outdoor activities. Chilling Waterfalls are probably the most
beautiful waterfalls of Selangor. It is
located just after Selangor Dam. Then I
would also want to introduce Pisang Falls not so far from Kuala Lumpur, Lata
Medang near Selangor Reservoir, a side road leading to Kg. Pertak.Next is the Lolo Falls at Gunung Nuang which
can be one of the must visited place for sightseeing or outdoor activities.
Well, we don’t
actually have to spend a large amount of money for a short sighseeing or
holiday trip during weekend. Happy
discovering what we have nearby us!
