Known as ‘The Land of Grace’, Perak was once a wealthy tin-mining state. Its name, meaning ‘silver’, is believed to have been derived from the tin-ore deposits that were once abundant in this state. Today, it greets visitors with a wealth of unique attractions and cultures. Among Perak’s delightful cornucopia of wonders are intriguing cave temples, the country’s oldest museum, Malaysia’s very own Leaning Tower and the country’s rst night safari.
