Bujang Valley, Archaeological site in Kedah, Malaysia.
The Bujang Valley archaeological complex spans 224 square kilometers near Merbok, containing ancient temples, artifacts, and architectural remains from early civilizations.
Excavations initiated by Colonel James Low in 1864 led to the discovery of numerous temple structures and evidence of maritime trade dating back to the 3rd century.
The valley holds over 50 temple ruins called candi, reflecting strong Hindu-Buddhist influences and the adoption of Indian cultural models by local ancient rulers.
The Archaeological Museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, displaying stone caskets, metal tools, ceramics, and religious artifacts found during excavations.
The Sungai Batu complex within the valley contains a clay brick monument from 110 AD, marking it as Southeast Asia's oldest recorded man-made structure.
