  • Surrounding Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is Selangor - the most populous and wealthiest state in the country. Having visited almost every state, I realized I had never been to Selangor before and hadn't heard of any attractions there. So, it was time to explore, starting with the former capital of the Sultanate - Kuala Selangor, which was once under British and Dutch control.
    On the way to this small town, I took a boat into the Malacca Strait to experience Sky Mirror - a strip of sand in the sea that emerges only during low tide. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! In Kuala Selangor, I explored Bukit Malawati (Malawati Hill), its colonial architecture, and hipster cafes. I also tried eagle feeding and firefly watching, which have been very popular here since the 1980s!
    The following day, I decided to head north to Sekinchan, whose Paddy Fields have the highest rice production in all of Malaysia. Don’t forget to try its seafood and make a wish at the Wishing Tree!

    i think your information about Malaysia rice production is wrong.. the biggest rice producer is Kedah state up north.. not Selangor..

      Yes it is still Kedah, contributes 70% of the country’s rice production.

      You are also wrong about rice exports.
      Malaysia has always imported 70% of its rice since independence

      Kuala Selangor town is scattered not just the small area that you visited. If you have drone you can see that there are areas near the Kuala Selangor District Mosque and another one on the other side of the river. You can actually use you bicycle to explore. Next time come back again here and explore more..

    The museum should not kick out visitors at malawati Hill. Just rotate the work shift. No one kicks out visitors in a museum during lunch time.

      It seems like it was a shortage of stuff that day. Google and reviews doesn’t mention any lunch break. I guess I was just a bit unlucky that day 😅

    Hi Andrew,
    1. which travel agent that you booked for your sky mirror 🪞 tour?
    2. How did you get around Sekinchan? Did you use grab to move around?

    • @SoAndrew
      @SoAndrew  Месяц назад +1

      Hi Sahiful,
      1. I went with "Sky Mirror Fun Life" agency, they seem to be the best there, based on the rating and price;
      2. By own car. I guess Grab situation is not good in that paddy field area since it's so spread out, so it might be troublesome to get around there without own car...
