A quiet and tranquil Kolong Pahat

We visited Kolong Pahat a small village about 1km from Sungai Lembing town
famous for it's landmark suspension bridge.
What was once a pack village during the good old mining times
is now a quiet and almost abandoned as most of the younger generation
have migrated to the cities.

Wei Han,Shen and cousin Sin Yee.


Only two shop are still in business, a sundry shop and a noodle maker and someone turned the back of one of these old shop into a swiflet house.


This white cat belonging to the sundry shop is so lazy
even to open his eyes when touched.



This homestay is a nice place for those looking for an escape from the busy and hectic city life.






The century old suspension bridge is still strong and well maintained.


































Abandoned houses nearby.











An old tunnel just across the road from the bridge.

Panorama Hill in Sungai Lembing is a small hill about 260m high
and the four of us me,Wei Han,Wei Shen and cousin Amanda

considering the beautiful misty view awaiting us.

Trip to Panching caves & Sungai Lembing

Took my two elder sons to Panching Caves or Gua Charas half way on the Kuantan Sungai Lembing road since i haven't been there for 25 long years.
This is a 170m high limestone hill which have a main cave with a Buddhist and a Hindu Temple inside.
You will have to pay some donations for the upkeep of the place
eg lighting in the cave at the entrance before the ladder up.

Wei Shen praying.


Wei Han's turn.


Climbing up for a nice view.


One for the road.



This one is at Sungai Lembing ex-tin mine silo nearby the mining tunnels,
where all the tin rich earth are poured into it
and passed on the the mill below.


In front of a storage tunnel maybe for explosive.



The Sungai Lembing Museum displays things from the past underground tin mine.
Admission is free!
