Hilir Perak District - Where The River Meets The Sea

Peace Be Upon You
Assalamualaikum

Selamat Datang!
Welcome to The Land Where The River Meets The Sea

Hilir Perak is a region you shouldn't miss while in Perak. This is the district where the mighty Perak River meets the open sea of the Straits of Malacca. Among the many interesting places to visit are Teluk Intan, the administrative centre of the district, rich in local and colonial history. Then there's the famous Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan, Malaysia's own equivalent to the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, a pagoda-style structure which is a timeless masterpiece. The World War II Memorial, a giant boulder, stands at the main road entrance to Teluk Intan. 

The Teluk Intan Boatyards bear testimony to the boat building skills of the people of Perak. The estuarine village of Bagan Datoh with its picturesque countryside is the heart of Perak's coconut country. Beting Beras Basah, an important venue for the installation ceremonies of Perak Sultans, and Hutan Melintang, famous for its prawns and boat building industry.
