GREAT VICTORIA BRIDGE, KARAI

I love posing with the beautifully preserved Victoria Bridge – a great place for photography session.

Victoria Bridge is a single track railway truss bridge located in Karai, Perak.

It is a popular tourism spot for a photography session – showcasing its beautiful scenic designed of the bridge as its backdrop.

HISTORIC VICTORIA BRIDGE

It is one of the oldest railway bridges in the country constructed between 1897 – 1900 by the Perak Government Railway as a crossing over Perak River to serve the tin mining industry.

The bridge remained in use until 2002, when a girder bridge was built parallel to the old bridge to take over the rail traffic.

VICTORIA BRIDGE SIGNBOARD

To date, the old bridge's footbridge serves as a route for motorcycles and pedestrians to cross over from one village to another.

The state government had occasionally maintained the bridge to retain its structure.

Visited : Victoria Bridge on August 16, 1998.

MINIATURE PULAU KETAM

It is the first and last time I ever visited Pulau Ketam (Crab Island) with a friend Karina, back in 1999.

The most memorable subject that I remember was the sight of the “floating houses” - miniature, traditional and colorful.

One can easily peep into the house and observed the livelihood of the fishing residents, here.

PULAU KETAM

The “floating houses” perched on wooden stilts 1 to 10 m above sea level. The main thoroughfares are the narrow concreted pavements, while in the residential areas, the older rickety wooden plank bridges can still be seen. There are no cars on the island, except bicycles and motorbikes as main means of transportation within the villages.

Other than the floating houses, visitors can take a walk around the island and enjoy the breeze slapping onto your face. One can also notice small shops selling packed seafood items, dried cuttle fish and souvenirs.

Pulau Ketam (Crab Island) is an island located off the coast of Port Kelang, Selangor, Malaysia.

The island is the intertidal zone and the chief vegetation is mangrove.

The main economic activity on the island is fishing and also a tourist destination.

Pulau Ketam is featured as the filming location for the movie entitled “Paint My Love” (2015)
