Teluk Intan

Juan and I spent Chinese New Year with his family in his hometown of Teluk Intan, a small town about 3 hours north of Kuala Lumpur. The landscape around it is beautiful, lush and tropical with expansive rivers and endless palm oil plantations.

The town also features a notable regional tourist attraction, a leaning tower (pictured.) There’s some kind of story. I can’t remember.

Juan’s family was extremely kind and generous – and insisted on feeding me about every 30 minutes. Language wasn’t an issue as my mouth with constantly stuffed with food.

Here are some photos. The second photo is a Hindu temple. The third photo shows the brilliant blue sky – nice to see after months of China smog.
