| Pahang - Kuala Lipis |
|
|
Kuala Lipis is a small town in Pahang. It is located in a district of the same name.
Kuala Lipis was a gold-mining center before the British arrived in 1887. In 1898 it became the capital of Pahang. During this time, grand colonial buildings, such as the imposing District Offices and the Clifford School (where the sultan studied), and the Pahang Club were built. The hilltop house of the British Resident is now a hotel and museum.
The town grew and prospered with the coming of the railway in 1924. However, in 1957, the state capital was shifted to Kuantan, and Kuala Lipis fell into a decline. It is now a sleepy and picturesque town with reminders of a once important past.
