Journey to Negeri Sembilan. On to Kuala Klawang and what's around...

Continuing from the posting Journey to Negeri Sembilan. A new chapter begins... From Jeram Gading, me and my friend decided to take the old twisting road on to Kuala Klawang...



After sometime veering through the jungle, we came across the first settlement in Titi Kenaboi...


It is a quite area with just a few shops around...


We went on and at the end of the twisting old road we enter into a better built one... And thus this sign-board shows 10km to one of our main destinations in this journey, Makam (the tomb of) Moyang Salleh..


Soon enough, we arrived at the town of Kuala Klawang, the main town in the district of Jelebu...


Saw this Muzium Adat or museum of the local culture...


Decided to go in and see what's inside. Video clips of our venture here are shown in the blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU , under the posting Kembara Negeri Sembilan: Asal usul nama Jelebu? Serta lawatan ke Muzium Adat di Kuala Klawang! ...


Here, right in front of the museum is one of the more interesting sights around... A hall depicting the local Minangkabau culture in the designs of its roof, pointing up at the sides like buffalo horns.

Sorry, the picture is skewed. That's what happens when one takes a picture using my cheap digital camera from inside a moving car!



Before long it's time to head for our main places of destination, at the outskirts of the town of Kuala Klawang...


One of it is the mosque of Kampung Dulang. For a short story on it, do have a look at the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART) , in the posting Masjid (mosque of) Kuala Dulang, Negeri Sembilan ...

Next, we went to the Makam Moyang Salleh...


Here is the tomb. Have a look at the posting Makam (tomb) of Moyang Salleh...


That's when we realise, there's another interesting place just besides the tomb, on top of a small hill...


For here lies a cannon of certain significance... Have a look at Meriam (the cannon of) Datuk Undang Abdullah...

Anyway, a 15 minute video clip on the visit to Masjid Kampung Dulang, Makam Moyang Salleh and this cannon is being uploaded for use in the blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU even as this sentence is being typed. Then again, it is still in the process of uploading since almost 3 hours ago... Hopefully it will be completed soon enough. Do have a look there later OK! Cheers... :]
