Sg Lembing - Part 1 ~ Rest house

I went to Sg Lembing, Pahang, recently. The town is located about 30km from Gambang Toll, East Cost highway.

Sg Lembing used to be a tin mining town. During it's heyday (around 1900's), it's was known as the El Dorado of the East. It's mines are among the largest and deepest in the world.


# Arts on the wall ~ the SRJK(C) Sg Lembing



# Sg Lembing town in the evening (top) and morning. They have the smallest petrol kiosk in Sg Lembing or probably in the West Malaysia? One can only buy petrol from (if i remember correctly) from 7.30am to 12.00pm and 2.00pm to 6.00pm. I bought RM15 of petrol before I left the town on the second day.



# On a wet day. Not much activities during the day time. Most of the wooden shops have already been closed down. At night? Lagi teruk... The most you can find a few snooker centers and kopitiams. The mines were closed down in 1986 due to high operational costs and dropped in the world tin prices.



# The above is the rest house where I have stayed for 1 night. The rate can be considered reasonable ie RM40 for twin bed. If you have 4 persons, you can add RM20 extra for an extra bed. This rest house is located in the town area and very near to the market (for breakfast or lunch) and Panorama hill.



# This rest house is just like our home. You can almost find anything inside there.



# Want to play mahjong, UNO or 'Chor Tai Dee'... it's not a problem. Guests can watch Astro too. The only cons: No PS2 or Xbox... hah hah. Plus, each room has it's own split air-con.
