Historic Structures Since 1936 (by British)

  • Giant Well
  • River on River
 
To access to these 2 locations (which is along the same river), it is quite challenging by car, as the access road is only fit for single vehicle to access and there is no way to make a turning back (not easy though) until you reach the end of the road.

For those interested, GPS location of main road to access to these 2 locations:

Giant Well ("Telaga Gergasi" in Malaysia Language)
  • The height of this giant well structure is about 100 feet or 30 meters high with a diameter of 20 feet or 6 meters.
  • The British technology originally served to move tin produce through the river, but the modern features of the construction could indirectly prevent soil erosion from settling in Bukit Merah Lake.



River on River ("Sungai Atas Sungai" in Malaysia Language)
  • "Sungai Atas Sungai" is a water canal that is diverted from Ijok River and across the Redang Panjang River which flows beneath it.
  • This bridge was built in 1936 across the canal and remains intact today.
