    Apart from Sg. Lembing’s museum, there are other nearby attractions as the area is endowed with mountains, waterfalls, and rivers. It is worth climbing Bukit Panorama, especially to see the glorious sunrise over the surrounding green hill slopes.

    Many visitors come here just to do this, especially at weekends, and liven up the otherwise dead town. However logging activities are having a detrimental effect on the eastern hills of Sg. Lembing.

    Some 16km from Sg. Lembing is Gunung Tapis Nature Park, where one can camp, fish, and shoot the rapids. Gunung Tapis itself is 1,512m high. On the way to Sg. Lembing is Gua Charas, a temple cave that is a popular tourist destination. Sungai Pandan Waterfall, 29km from Kuantan, is easily accessible from the road and is a nice place for a picnic.

    The Sungai Lembing Museum pay tribute to the town of Sungai Lembing's as Pahang's richest manufacturer of tin, before the drop in the price of that commodity in 1984.

    The museum is located in the former residence of a mine manager - the building still retains its British architectural features.

    The museum give you the history of the mines and the town during its glory days.

    The underground tunnels are not stable now and no longer safe for visit. I guess I was considered lucky to born as a tin miner daugther and to visit this mines.

    The deepest tunnel is the Myah Mines which measured 700 meters below ground The Taibeto mine is 500 meters and the distance between each tunnels is about 30 meters and the overal length of the tunnels is about 332 meters.

    Sungai Lembing was one of the largest, longest and deepest subterranean tin mine in the world.

    It was mined by the Pahang Consolidated Company Limited (PCCL) a British company from 1906 until 1986.

    The miners of Sungai Lembing were not given any uniform but they were given a hard hat, a carbide lamp and a batter-operated lamp. It was hard works and I remember my dad coming home tired and his cloths were dark and dirty.

    Sungai Lembing town is fresh and green with its lovely waterfall and local fruits. I am not bragging but the durian here is one of the best I have tasted especially from the jungle.

    You can also go fishing in the river here and birdwatching.

    Sungai Lembing town is very quiet now. Most of the residence are in their late 50 to 70. The younger generations have move to the big city for work and come for visit only in the weekend.

    Take the road beside the library and then follow the trail to the top of the hill behind the town.

    The misty morning when we arrived revealed pleasant scenes. There were busloads of tourists, and whole families were hiking up or down the narrow track.

    Rainbow Waterfall

  • It only costed us RM30 per person. The meet point was at Sungai Lembing and we took off on a 4WD which was included in the tour at around 6.45am and the 4WD drive took around 1 hour to reach the hiking point. We past thru streams and bumpy roads and great sceneries along the way.

    We stopped at a point where the four wheel cant go any further and we started to go on foot. The guide leaded us. We walked past a stream which was waist high to the other side. The hiking begins. We walked on rocks especially slippery river rocks, muds and we had to climb across dead trunk trees a couple of times. Be careful on your footwear. Very important!

    After hiking about 30-45 minutes, we reached the waterfall and it was gorgeous and it was worth all the walking. Once we reached the waterfall, we saw the rainbow and it was breathtaking. Right now, there arent so many visitors as of the inconvenient accessibility but because of this, it protects the undisturbed nature and beauty of the waterfall :)

    The tour also provided us noddle in cup where they boiled it at the waterfall. How cool is that! :) Take a dip and the water is very cooling.. very very cooling indeed. Strenous but you will love the outcome which is the magnificient view.

    I've been to Panching Waterfall which is nearby Sungai Lembing also but Rainbow Waterfall is taller and much more beautiful :)
