Banting, Selangor

Jalan Sultan Alam Shah, Banting (6 July, 2016)


Banting (GPS: 2.81209, 101.50255), (Traditional/Simplified Chinese: #19975;津; Pinying: Wànjīn) is the main town in Kuala Langat district, on the southern part of Selangor. The town is perhaps best known for being the hometown of the Sidek family of badminton players. Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad and Jalan Sultan Alam Shah are the two main roads through Banting. The main shopping centre in Banting is a local Econsave hypermarket.

The main part of the town is located on the west side of Sungai Langat. Jambatan Banting goes across the river, taking Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad across the river to connect the main part of Banting to Telok Datok, its neighbourhood which is on an oxbow meander of Sungai Langat.

For tourists, there isn't much to see within Banting town itself. If you like the beach, you should head to Pantai Morib, while if you like history, visit the Old Royal Town of Jugra.

About this website

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
