3 weeks agoVery nice interesting historic place for you to indulge your curiosities of one of the deepest and longest underground mine in the world. Ticket price is around RM 16 for Malaysian adult. Place looked a bit empty maybe due to current pandemic situation (Covid-19). But overall the place is a must visit if you went to Sungai Lembing.
