Explore Malaysia's royal town, where the Sultan of Perak maintains his official residence in the magnificent Istana Kenangan, a stunning example of traditional Malay palace architecture built entirely without nails.

Visit the Royal Gallery displaying royal artifacts, traditional costumes, and historical documents chronicling Perak's sultanic heritage. Walk through the old town's colonial shophouses and traditional markets selling royal-approved handicrafts, including songket textiles and pewter items. Local restaurants serve authentic Perak cuisine, including laksa, tau fu fa, and traditional Malay sweets, while the town's position along the Perak River creates peaceful riverside walks past royal jetties and traditional fishing villages. The combination of active royal heritage and authentic Malay culture provides insights into Malaysia's constitutional monarchy and traditional craftsmanship.
