Kerian District Background And History

A Simple Land, With Simple Folk And Attractions That Leave Lasting Impressions

Smallest of Perak's nine district, Kerian occupies an area just 958 sq.km. in northern Perak, bordered by Pulau Pinang and Kedah. It constitutes only 4.6% of the total area of Perak, with about 150,000 people comprising mainly agricultural folk, making up 7.9% of Perak's total population. Its landscape is almost all flat terrain and peat soil, with Bukit Merah, the highest point, rising to a mere 387 metres, in Mukim Gunung Semanggol. Kerian's most famous fresh water stretch is Tasik Bukit Merah, a huge lake you'll find enticingly attractive, renowned for its fish and of late for its more popular Bukit Merah Laketown Resort.
