Confluence of 3 rivers in Teluk Intan...

God lord... I feel so tired but I just got to let this go off my system. Here goes...


After Lumut, I went to the place where my father was born at which is in Teluk Intan 60km south-east. Among the places visited there is part of the Perak river besides Kampung Terengganu east of town. In the picture is the Bidor river flanking the kampung (village)...


The Bidor river runs from as far as the town of Bidor over 40km away south-east of Teluk Intan...


Its waters merged into the mighty Perak river at this point... The Perak river on the middle of this picture, part of the Bidor river estuary to the right...


Part of Kampung Terengganu west to where I was standing at...


Look to the east slightly to the north and you can see the mouth of the much smaller river Tungku while the Bidor river on the right runs into the Perak river. So you could say here is the confluence of 3 rivers...


And finally a look at the bend of Perak river going inland northwards to Kampung Gajah some 20km away. Both the Tungku and Bidor rivers are on the right outside this picture. Ends! :]

  1. Rasanya MS patut ambik gambar sungai di kampung durian sebatang di depan kedai2 cina lama (tak pasti ada lagi ke tak kedai ni), kerana disitu lah tempat bahtera sultan mendarat ataupun bertolak untuk ke beting bras basah.

  2. Kedai2 Cina tak da dah... Yang ada tokong Cina tapi kat dalam tokong tu ada gambar "Latuk Melayu"...
    Depan tokong tu ada pokok Jejawi besar yang banyak akar, ada kedai apa entah sambung ngan pokok tu lepas tu depan sikit ada warung... Ada singboard tulis Jalan Mak Intan...
    Kat tepi sungai ada jeti, ada signboard UMNO Kampung Durian Sebatang
