Finally, the main attraction in Kuala Selangor during the day time.
Bukit Melawati is another historical site and is very much the heart of the history of Selangor. But then again, I won't bore anyone with the detail, there's a museum up there for those who are curious. Suffice to say, this strategic area was the main fort used to defend against Dutch and British invasions and also a site of many wars.

| The clock tower at the foot of the hill. |
 |
| The tram for tourist to tour the hill. |
 |
| The view of the Straits of Malacca from top of the hill. It looked like a storm was brewing, how appropriate to get into the feel of history. |
 |
| Cannons used to defend the fort. |
 |
| Silver haired monkeys forever eager for tit - bit. |
 |
| Entrance to the museum, a must - go if you want to appreciate the historical sites better. |
 |
| More cannons! |
 |
| The famous lighthouse, still used nowdays to guide the ships. |
 |
| The royal tombs. |
