The rustic esplanade by the mighty Pahang River

and had since lost most of its significance
with other mode of land transport taking over.

Mesmerizing evening by the lake

I have been here 3 times
and this muddy ex-tin mining lake never fails to deliver.
The lake is beside Taman Putra Perdana and D'island residence Puchong.

Pekan Museum

The Pekan's Sultan Abu Bakar Museum
is a very attractive one
especially for the kids with outdoor exhibits like
the wooden drift wood horses,water birds,
a Wasp helicopter and an Army's APC.

Wooden horses and water birds made from pieces of drift wood
and branches imported from Indonesia.
