Kuala Selangor Attractions

If you like nature and the outdoors, Kuala Selangor and the vicinity is a good place to spend a day or two to visit. It was the old royal capital of Selangor and was a place of great importance during the colonial times. The Malawati hilltop was conquered by the Dutch in 1784. Later on the British came and built a lighthouse which is still being used today.
