Deerland
The Deerland Park is a privately owned and managed deer park in Lanchang, Pahang. The park has some 30 Indonesian deer (Cervus timorensis).

Visitors to the park have a chance to hand feed these gentle creatures and observe their behaviour at close hand. Other attractions in the 4-hectare park located at the edge of the Krau Forest Reserve include ostriches and a sun-bear (Helarctos malayanus) named Muda. There is also a section dedicated to the cultivation of traditional herbal plants, which has over 40 species of traditional herbs. A 200-metre wooden walkway runs through this area, leading up to an observation tower in the middle of Bukit Rengit.

Kuala Selangor
A strategic location, Kuala Selangor prospered during the early years of the 14th century. Brisk trading with seafarers and trade merchants made the town a household name and an important docking point. Trading route maps of the early Chinese merchants indicated the locations of the Klang River and the Selangor delta. It was believed that these were the maps used during the days when Admiral Cheng Ho (1405-1433) was sent to Melaka by the Ming Emperor to seal diplomatic relationships with the Malay rulers for a safer trading route.

With the strategic importance of the delta, there came a jostle for power. Kuala Selangor went through a series of transitions. Great battles were fought, blood of foreigners and locals alike were spilt for the sake of economic and political standing.

Today Kuala Selangor caters largely to tourists coming this way enroute to Kelip-Kelip at Kampung Kuantan or local travellers on a trail of seafood binging. Kuala Selangor town is not particularly big and one can easily walk around without a map or a guide. There are a number of cheap food outlets and a couple of fast food joints.

Kuala Selangor Fireflies (Kampung Kuantan)
Kampung Kuantan was once a humble little village, not unlike many during the early years. But as industrialisation set in later, this village suffered what many others did - young folk moved away, fishermen and farmers living off the land found it difficult to eke out a living and the highways took away any chances of revival in the area.

In the 70s, entomologists heard about the strange congregation of lights not too far from the village - a place where millions of little green lights twinkled in the shadows of the night. But the beauty of the place was kept a secret until almost a decade ago. These twinkling lights helped the villagers revive their little town.

Fireflies or “kelip-kelip” in Malay, literarily means 'to twinkle'. Twinkle is what these little creatures do. The kelip-kelip is more popularly known as fireflies, Fireflies aren’t flies but in fact, tiny 6mm long beetles which belong to the Lampyridae species. And they don't produce fire but a cool green glow in the lower abdomen. The visitor centre at Kampung Kuantan provides further interesting facts.

For an enhanced experience, night excursions during weekdays are ideal and preferably not when there is a full moon or during rainy evenings.
