Teluk Intan is located in the south west corner of Perak. It’s the gateway to Perak in the north and Selangor in the south. Pangkor, for example, is 72 km north from Teluk Intan, while Ipoh is 90 km north east and Klang and Kuala Lumpur 145 km south.
The city has a long history, known at least around 600 years. The old name Teluk Mak Intan in hour of a trader. The British renamed it Teluk Anson and in 1982 it finally got it’s present name: Teluk Intan
I was visiting a few days ago, for the 4th or 5th time. This time I spend more time exploring the sights of the city, still the 3rd in size in Perak. Apart of the famous Leaning Tower, there’s more including the Raja Muda palace ruins, the Hock Soon Keong (Hock Soon Temple) and many Chinese shophouses. Around the city you can find more trails of the glorious past in the form of old bungalows.
I would say, Teluk Intan is worth the time spending…
