One of Peninsular Malaysia’s largest states, Perak used to be a tin-rich region. It extends from the Thai border in the north and runs lengthwise down to meet Selangor in the south. The state has changed its focus to tourism, sprucing up its cities and even small towns to draw in the crowd despite the fact that the tin mines, save for a handful, are all but gone. Cycling enthusiasts benefit from this as it has created more engaging, vibrant environments to ride in.

You will arrive at a Buddhist temple with a sliding metal electronic gate at the conclusion of this lovely stretch. A bridge that crosses the Sungei Pinji is on your left. It is customary to leave the Buddhist Temple’s gate slightly ajar to accommodate motorbikes and bicycles. After the Buddhist Temple, turn right and proceed down the roads of the housing estates, keeping the hills directly to your right. After this road comes to a conclusion, turn left to head into Taman Chempaka. Until you see the market, cycle along the lane leading to Jalan Chempaka Sari, the main road.

After you reach the end of Pesiaran Brash, turn right into Jalan Brash. You’re riding a bicycle around the Polo Grounds. You have reached Jalan Raja Dihilir (Jalan Tambun) at the end of this street; turn right into this street using the divider’s break. You now find yourself back at your starting place after pedalling downhill till you reach the crossroads leading to Jalan Canning Garden on your left.
