Admire one of Malaysia's most beautiful royal mosques, famous for its striking golden domes and elegant Moorish architecture.

(photo stop only) Visitors are allowed to view this beautiful architecture from the outside only. Istana Iskandariah is a royal palace and the official residence of the Sultan of Perak after its completion in the year 1933. This beautiful and historic place is situated at the royal town of Malaysia, Kuala Kangsar. The construction of this building is based on the architecture of West Asia. This royal building is facing the sunrise and river. Istana Iskandariah is designed with a royal dining room, audience halls, royal rest chambers, ladies’ cloakroom music hall, and the royal council chamber. The onion-shaped dome and minarets give it a fascinated look.

It was constructed by the government of Perak in the year 1897 to 1900. It is a nostalgic charm that reminds you of the railways in the old classic movies. That was inaugurated by Sultan Idris Murshidul Azzam Shah. This bridge was named after Queen Victoria. It is the single railway bridge to cross Sungai Perak at Karai. Now the bridge is no longer in use since the year 2002. The bridge at her peak was an important structure during the boom of the tin mining industry as well as linking the western Malay states with each other and the port of Penang. The bridge is said to be similar to the “bridge on the river Kwai” and Guillemard Bridge in Kelantan.

It is one of the 4 major bridges in Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia also known as Sultan Iskandar Bridge. It is the longest steel arch bridge in Malaysia with a total length of 308 meters and width of 10.2 meters. It was constructed in the year 1932 by Messrs James Craig Ltd. This bridge was officially inaugurated by late Almarhum Sultan Iskandar of Perak and is one of the most frequented Kuala Kangsar tourist attractions.

It is situated across the road of Malay College Malaysia. It is a three tiers building build for the royal families in the year 1930. The royal families used to watch polo matches nearby in comfort. Earlier, it was used as a recreational center for court officials. After renovation, it becomes a part of Public Park and you can visit here. It was built under the instructions of Sultan Iskandar Shah and is occasionally referred as “Pagoda of Malaysia”.

Another famous Kuala Kangsar places of interest are the oldest rubber trees of Malaysia. These trees were planted when Malaysia was first introduced in the year 1877. And even till today, these trees continue to attract thousands of travelers from all over the world.

In front of the Post Office, on a small roundabout, stands a very elegant clock tower with a golden dome. According to the dedication plaque, the clock tower was erected in 1939 to commemorate the coronation of King George VI (which took place in 1937).

Nearby, standing guard over the town, is a Malaysian Airforce McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk mounted on a white plinth. This plane was presented to the Sultan of Perak in 2004 and put on display here. In the same vicinity is a landscaped public space, named Dataran Putra, with a fountain, some decorative arches and an old-fashioned British red phone box. The phone box has even been vandalised, making it look even more authentically British! There is also a tourist information office here where you might be able to obtain a Kuala Kangsar Heritage Trail map.
