Perak, State in northwestern Malaysia

Located on the western coast of peninsular Malaysia, Perak extends across 21,000 square kilometers between the Strait of Malacca and mountain ranges.

During the 19th century, Perak developed into a major global tin mining center, attracting thousands of Chinese workers to its mineral-rich valleys.

The Ulik Mayang dance performances in Perak coastal areas combine traditional music with movements that reflect the connection between local communities and the sea.

The North-South Expressway connects Perak's main cities, providing efficient transportation links between Ipoh, Kuala Kangsar, and neighboring Malaysian states.

The Royal Belum State Park contains a 130-million-year-old rainforest, making it older than the Amazon and home to multiple endangered species.
