Wang Tangga, Kaki Bukit, Perlis

Public park at Wang Tangga (1 November, 2009)


Wang Tangga is a valley on the opposite end of Gua Kelam from Kaki Bukit. Most people simply regard it as an extension of Gua Kelam, and some call it the Kaki Bukit Recreational Park. The name "wang" which is also sometimes written as "awang" refers to a hollow valley with the sky above. Today Wang Tangga is a popular picnic spot. There is a stream that runs through it with a few man-made cascades across it.

Wang Tangga today has been nicely done up as a park. Footpaths are available for people to stroll around. There are a couple of bridges across the stream, and they are quite scenic. Further away, there is even a place for camping.
