Sungai Relau

Sungai Relau, Penang (23 March 2013)


Sungai Relau is a river that flows through Relau, Penang. It comprises two streams, Relau A and Relau B, which merge south of Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim.

Sungai Relau B begins in the hills of Paya Terubong. It is visible in parts such as near the Metropolitan Park, where it flows beside Relau Villa. Here the river separates the villa from the Shrine of the Jade Emperor. A couple of pavilions are built for people to enjoy the scenery. From there, Sungai Relau flows south, in places following Jalan Paya Terubong.

After merging with Sungai Relau A, the combined river continues south, curving to the east as it approaches Jalan Tun Dr Awang. This section onwards is canalised. It follows Jalan Mahsuri until the intersection with Persiaran Mahsuri, where it makes a sharp bend to continue south.

After passing under Jalan Tengah, Sungai Relau curves to the east, just behind Telekom. It then flows into Sungai Ara, and from there the two rivers become Sungai Keluang.
