Klang Railway Station
The railway line from Kuala Lumpur to Klang was one of the first to be built in the country, There has been a railway station at this site on Jalan Besar since 1890, although the current building is much newer. This station is of a traditional design. It may not be around for much longer. There are discussions underway to relocate the station to a new site 400 metres away on Jalan Raya Barat which is where the proposed Light Rail Transit (LRT3) route will stop.

Istana Alam Shah
Klang was the former Royal capital of Selangor and is home to Istana Alam Shah, one of the official palaces of the Sultan of Selangor. It was built in 1960, replacing the earlier Makhota Puri place which occupied the same site. One of the outbuildings at Istana Alam Shah bears the sign Royal Automobile Gallery and would be a fascinating place to visit if it were ever opened to the public in the future.

Gedung Raja Abdullah
This historic building is over 150 years old. Being located close to the river it would have been used as a godown (I wonder if the word godown originates for the Malay term gedung, meaning warehouse, or could it be the other way around?). It was converted into a tin museum for a time but it has been closed and unutilised for many years. It will be needing another restoration if it does not find a permanent use soon.

Revive Klang River Wall Art
Underneath the bridge an artist has painted a call the revive the area around the Klang River, showing its varied history and colorful past. We climbed up to the upper deck of the bridge where there is a pedestrian path. From the path you have a clear view of the North Klang Royal Town Mosque built right on the banks of the river. Its gold dome and unique minaret are worth the climb up to the bridge, especially if you can frame your pictures without the enormous hotel in the background

Taman Pengkalan Batu
This is basically a riverside park with a number of gazebos, a fishing deck and a kiddies playground. I’m not sure I would want to eat any fish caught in the Klang River which, for decades, has been a dumping ground for all sorts of toxic pollutants. Efforts are underway to clean up the river, especially the stretch running through KL, but it will take time to see results.

Thian Hock Keong Snake Temple
This interesting temple is decorated with numerous sculptures of snakes, coiled around columns, adorning the roof and even wrapped around the altar. I believe it is a Taoist temple and it looks fairly recent although I could be wrong. There are a few real snakes inside the temple but thankfully they are safely caged, unlike the snake temple in Penang where they allowed to slither loose.
