Tanjung Tualang, Perak

Tanjung Tualang with Timothy Tye (23 January, 2011)


Tanjung Tualang (GPS: 4.30241, 101.03988) is a small town on the southern part of the Kinta District in Perak. The town was the centre of tin mining activities in the early 20th century. As a result, the town is pockmarked with mining pools that today are given a new life as freshwater prawn breeding farms.

One of the tourist attractions in Tanjung Tualang is the Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge, a piece of heritage structure located in Desa Perlombongan, between Tanjung Tualang and Batu Gajah.

Tanjung Tualang is now also famous for its freshwater seafood. These come from the ponds and rivers in the surroundings. There are a number of restaurants in the town that cater to customers from as far away as Ipoh.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
