Pictures of Klang, The Royal Town
Here are some pictures of Klang, The Royal Town in Malaysia, taken by me during one of my visits here. Known also as a port town, Klang is located some 30 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur City.
This former capital of Selangor state in Malaysia was short lived from the year 1974 to 1977 until Shah Alam became the current capitol.
Klang or Kelang as some people still refer to has been around for many centuries since the early Sultanates of Malacca and has always had a royal connection to the place.

Back in 1874, even the British administration had control over this place for a good six years. While current day people would know the place being famous for the great local food, it is also an upcoming urban dwelling area apart from being the main gateway to some of Malaysia’s busiest ports and access to some of the beautiful coastal towns.
Some may debate this matter but the reality shows that history was in fact right and has made southerners realize the truth. Another fancy fact is that people from all areas would drive hours just to eat this popular Hokkien dish here.
Apart from the many types of local delicacies here, one can simple explore the place with a camera and capture some beautiful photographs.
Below are some of the photos I took while I made my way on foot around Klang Town minus the food pictures.

For those seeking cooler situations, there are shopping malls which are very up to date. For those who plan to spend a day here, weekends are the best time to visit as the traffic is much more relaxed. Walking around would be one of the best methods to fully see the town area.
Just so you know, I am not a professional photographer as I only use a Nikon D60 DSLR Camera with standard kit lens.
I learn along the way and enjoy my time doing this. Seeing the actual thing in real life is always the best thing and pictures are to remind me of the beauty around.
The fun event took many photographers on a picture hunt around the old town here where over 150 keen photographers participated in this. With that, I managed to win a consolation prize with some of the pictures of Klang I took.
