The Pasir Panjang Segari
Turtle Sanctuary, is located just
a couple of miles from the town
of Lumut in the state of Perak.
Visitors get the opportunity to
learn about the turtles in their
natural habitat. Run by the
Department of Fisheries, this
hatchery and research center is
a quiet stretch of beach and
main landing area for the Green
Turtle, Olive Ridley Turtle and
Painted Terrapin. Due to the
decline in turtle landing over the
years, the sanctuary provides a
heaven for baby turtles who
struggle to survive against their
natural predators and trawler
nets.
At the sanctuary, visitors can
watch turtles being hatched and
hold newborns in their hand.
Visitors can also feed rescued
turtles their favorite food - fresh
cucumber. Peak nesting
season is between March and
June.

Kuala Kangsar is a well preserved, old Royal Town in the state of
Perak. Stop at the Istana Kenangan (Istana means palace), home to
the Royal Museum of Perak. Construction of the palace began in
1926 and it was completed five years later. Shaped like a sword, the
entire palace was built without a blueprint and not a single nail was
used. The walls are made of woven sliced bamboo and patterned in
diamond motifs called "kelarai".
