Located in Perak
Leaning tower is one of the attractions
It was erected in 1885 by a Chinese builder, Mr. Leong Choon Cheong. It started
to tilt four years after its construction finished due to an
underground stream. The tower was originally used as a water tower
supplying the area of the town. It had a clock at the top, which still
rings every 15 minutes. The tower also served as a beacon to guide ships
into Teluk Intan Port. Currently it is a local tourist attraction, and
no longer stores water. The area around the tower was paved with bricks
and became a plaza. The main street at the centre of Teluk Intan, Jalan
Ah Cheong, is named after Leong Choon Cheong to commemorate his
contribution.
This might be the last vacation we went together~
