Leaning tower of pisa


We cant fly to italy on Sunday so we drove to Teluk Intan instead :)
Our dream is to take picture in front of the leaning tower of PISA .

Anyway, we ended up in TELUK INTAN instead.
Teluk intan leaning tower aint that bad afterall ,because the tower still LEAN anyhow
Best of all: admission is FREE
Main purpose is to step our foot on the leaning tower of teluk intan.
45 minutes journey from kampar and we reached around 4.30pm with a proper direction given by darling trishal.

The tower is built in 1885 and from the exterior, it looks as if the tower consist of 8 stories building. When we climb the 110 steps to the top ,the only we knew that it actually has 3 stories only.

History behind this tower
Erected by Leong Choon Chong, a chinese contractor and the main purpose of this tower is to store water tank during the dry season.
Notice the clock, well, J.W Benson of Ludgathehill london contributed the clock to the local people so that they can keep track of the time. NO JOKE!
The material of this tower is made from bricks and woods.
The structure of the building is influence from the Chinese pagoda as the majority of the people here are Chinese.

The reason why it lean?
because of the geographical aspect: soft ground on the base and the weight of the water tank .

The pagoda style structure has been greatly influenced by Chinese architecture because the majority of the population of the town at that time was Chinese. Each storey has a height of 5 metres and you will need to go up 110 steps to reach the top of the tower. The reason for the leaning are because of the soft ground on the base of the tower and the weight of the water tank.

We totally hate the u-turn to the Giant, as we had to take 2 times to reach the correct entrance, its pretty confusing without the proper entrance signboard.
Amazing road trip with sok yee, trishal and ezra.
