welcome to sungai lembing

Sungai Lembing town was build more than 100 years and it has a small museum showcasing the tin mining industry in the early 1900s. Sg Lembing used to be a busy mining town. Now everything is just so quiet in the town. I would recommend to start here first before exploring the small town. In the centre of town and try the local cuisine. Time stood still here and remnants of pre-war shop houses still visible. There are many colonial villas for rent and one night stay is sufficient.

Highlight of Sg Lembing is the tin mining cave tour. Entrance fee is RM15 per adult, you will get an 80 meter mini "locomotive" ride which was nice entering the cave. Then you can walk another 500m to explore. Air inside was cooling and there is a guide for your disposal. You will get useful facts only when you ask questions. The tour lasted approx. 30-40 minutes.

 If you are the one that really interested with history, I recommend you to have a visit to Muzium Sungai Lembing because in there you can get many information about the history of Sungai Lembing

Muzium Sungai Lembing

The Sungai Lembing Museum was built to re-live the glorious days of Sungai Lembing as Pahang’s richest manufacturer of tin. Once, this city was even dubbed the Malay States’ very own El-Dorado as it was here that a special settlement for British officers was located. Beginning in 1984, though, all that prosperity and riches gradually dwindled as a result of tin’s price drop.The uniqueness of this museum lies in the fact that it is situated in what used to be a residency of a mine officer. The residency itself still retains its British architecture features.
