Continuing from Temerloh signboard and the current extended sandbank...
Next I went to Chenor about 30 km east of Temerloh to look at the preparations for a certain festival there. On the way to old town Chenor there is a place called Kampung (village of) Bunian. I have been curious about it for some time and decided to have a look.
You see, Bunian is a Malay word referring to supernatural creatures much live elves in English and European folklores. They are reported to live in another dimension which could not bee seen by humans being but could be accessed by those with knowledge.
However there are many stories about of people accidently entering the Bunian world and spending time before they were returned to the normal world. The stories always mention the existence of Kampung Bunian. which could literally be translated village of the elves!
So how do you expect a Malay like me to react when there is a place officially called Kampung Bunian in Chenor? I have passed the entry point a number of times on the way to Chenor old town but this is the first time I decided to explore.
What I found was large tracts of plantations and few houses situated quite far from each other. It is only when I reached a part closing in on Chenor new town that the houses are situated close to each other.
Anyway I entered via a small rural road but came out from another road closer to new Chenor.
Not satisfied I ventured in again to catch the following pictures...
