Sungai Manjung is one of the major rivers in Perak. It got its name from the district of Manjung, formerly known as Dinding. As such, the river is also called the Dinding River or Sungai Dinding. Compared to Sungai Perak, Sungai Manjung is quite short. However it is very wide for much of its course.
Sungai Manjung is formed when two of its major tributaries converge. These are Sungai Segari and Sungai Raja Hitam. These two are quite big rivers in their own right, and each has its own system of tributaries. Flowing southward, Sungai Manjung receives other rivers into its course, among them Sungai Siah Lip, Sungai Gapis, Sungai Pasu, Sungai Ayer Tawar, Sungai Batu Undan, Sungai Sitiawan and the two Lumut rivers, Sungai Lumut Kiri and Sungai Lumut Kanan.
Throughout its course, there is only one bridge crossing it, which is, Jambatan Raja Permaisuri Bainun, which holds the distinction as being the longest river bridge in the country.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
