Pangkor Trip.. Pt III

There are very few interesting places to visit in the island.. maybe foreigners might be interested and curious about these places, but for us, we have seen better and nicer ones.. but since we have so much time in hand, and we have already rented ourselves a car, it would seemed a waste not to, at least, go around the island once, exploring..

Fu Lin Temple
Just another Chinese temple..


The supposedly "must-see" mini Great Wall is such a let-down..

Views from some of the pavilion behind the temple were good..

Dutch Fort
Didn't even bothered to come down from the car.. just took this photo from the road side.. from afar, it looked so new that it seemed fake to me..


Hanging Bridge
My sis and I were very excited when we saw a signboard from the road, saying "Jambatan Gantung".. We thought we could go on an adventure.. so we followed the path..


first, it was a paved path.. and we kept walking..
then, the paved path was gone.. yet we continued walking..
finally, we came to this.. a path covered with fallen branches and overgrown bushes...
Seemed like the place has not been upkeep for a pretty long time.. we were pretty disappointed, but not surprised.. cos this is yet another "typical" occurrence in the country..

Next up, one of the few good (but freaking expensive) restaurants in the island..
