Kuala Sepetang near Taiping

We took a drive from Taiping to the small town of Kuala Sepetang (Port Weld) recently to try out the seafood. Our lunch was at Restaurant Tepi Sungai which perched out to the river. It is located on the first floor of the building while the ground floor is the docking area for the fishing boats.

Here are some of the photos taken of its surroundings.

It is indeed a heaven for photographers and bird watchers.

One can have a good view of the scenery of the river, the jetties, the fishing villages and the fishing boats. The river is busy with activities with the boats plying up and down with the catch.
