Kuala Kangsar, Royal administrative center in Perak, Malaysia.
Kuala Kangsar sits at the meeting point of Kangsar and Perak rivers, approximately 25 kilometers northwest of Ipoh and 235 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur.
The town gained prominence as the first British administrative center in Malaysia, serving as the residence of James W. W. Birch from 1874 until 1875.
The Ubudiah Mosque presents architectural elements that combine Moorish designs with local influences, featuring marble floors and geometric patterns throughout its structure.
Multiple transportation options connect visitors to Kuala Kangsar, including regular intercity buses and train services at the central railway station.
The first rubber tree in Malaysia, planted in 1877, remains standing in Kuala Kangsar, marking the beginning of the country's rubber industry.
