When in Kuala Perlis, you will not missed this bridge. It is unique high arched white bridge connecting the town to "Kampong Nelayan" (Fishermen's Village). Its height allow residents to cross the Perlis river while allowing boat to pass below.
Approaching Kangar from Kuala Perlis, we saw two mosques appearing back to back. The larger one in the background with the grey domes is the famous Masjid Alwi or known as Masjid Kangar. It used to be the State Mosque. The new state mosque is gold domed and located in Arau the Royal Capital of Perlis.Back to Masjid Alwi. It has a long history being built in 1910 with its beautiful Moorish style. It is a pride of Kangar folks although many new buildings has been built in town.
It is fun to walkabout Kangar along the riverside pavements. The main river "Sungai Perlis" has tributaries of other rivers, "Sg. Kechor", "Sg. Korok", "Sg. Repoh" and "Sg. Gial". So there are also many small bridges to cross in downtown Kangar.You will walk by the major important places of Kangar including State Museum and Heritage Hall, the Chief Minister Residence, Central Market, Wholesale Market, Alwi Mosque and Perlis Islamic Center.Also you will see a giant sculpture of a keris and sword with the Perlis State flag and the limestone hill in the background.
About 10km north of Kangar is Tasik Melati - a popular local attraction to walk around the lake or over the many bridges. In the early morning or late afternoon, it is particularly nice with the balmy breeze.There are many small islets of sand bars with big trees which is unusual and cool.Admission and parking is free. You can rent different fun small boats to go around the lake.
All over Perlis, you will see rice fields here and there. Rice planting is an important industry. Roads are built across rice fields and so driving along the road, you will see rice fields on both side of the road. Depending on the season of the year, you will green saplings growing in flooded fields, yellow loaded grains waiting for harvest or brown stalks after harvesting.
There is a thriving fishing industry in Kuala Perlis. You can go to one of the boat jetty and check the fish catch of the day.Possible to buy fresh fish, crabs or prawns. Negotiate the price and of course, make sure you pack enough ice to get it home fresh or cook it soon as barbecue or at a restaurant.If not, great photo opportunity.
