Sights in Kuala Kubu Baru
Edit ThisA visit to the famous country of Malaysia would be incomplete without experiencing the few Kuala Kubu Baru Sights. Malaysia, one of the most renowned tourist spots in Southeast Asia, boasts a well loved town named "Kuala Kubu Baru," or simply, KKB. A great flood struck this town in 1883, destroying the whole town, so what you see today is a town that has been rebuilt after the flood. Its carefully documented history shows through in certain landmarks and artifacts, which attract many tourists each year. Several tourists also come to Kuala Kubu Baru simply to relax and have a quiet time in this small town, but if you are interested in seeing the sights, here is a list for you to look over before you plan your trip.
Old Town Site
One of the things you can see while in Kuala Kubu Baru is the old
town site. This is the town that was destroyed by the flood, which
occurred when the dam nearby broke. Though most of the old town was
destroyed in the catastrophe, there are still some structures that were
salvaged, including a mosque and a Buddhist temple.
Chiling
Waterfalls
Considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls
in Selangor, the Chiling Waterfalls is one site you must not leave out
of your itinerary. With only a few miles of driving and a little walking
past the bridge, you find yourself in breathtaking scenery of nature at
its best. The trekking might cost you some sweat, but it's well worth
it once you get a view of the waterfalls.
Old Railway Station
The
Old Railway Station is famous among photographers who want to get a
shot of the town’s life and history. Not only does the architecture of
this site bring story to their photos, it also inspires a splendid work
of art that continuously attracts tourists to visit. Don’t get left
behind--take your own pictures of this beautiful sight.
The Sungai Selangor Dam
Take a trip to the Sungai Selangor Dam while holidaying in Kuala Kubu Baru. This dam is on the way to Fraser's Hill, on the left side of the road. You will be able to find a sign that says "Splash Information Center." The dam is the main source for Selangor. The water comes from several lakes and rivers, and is treated at the water treatment plant. The information center provides information on the history of the dam and its creation.
