Sungai Lembing - Day 1

in #travel3 years ago

Took a trip to Sungai Lembing for a short break, took the bus + public transport. Sg. Lembing is a small town near Kuantan, Pahang. It was founded as a tin mining community when mining operations began in the 1900's.

Distance between Kuantan and Sungai Lembing

Starting at the capital of Kuala Lumpur, I took a express bus from KL to Kuantan. That cost me rm20 (about USD5), and 4 hours travelling time. It was smooth and comfortable. The express bus terminal in Kuantan however, is located quite a distance from the city center, so I had to take a local bus to the city center first.

From Hentian Kuantan, I took another local bus to Sungai Lembing. In short, my journey to Sg.Lembing was KL > Terminal Sentral Kuantan > Hentian Kuantan > Sg. Lembing.
