Teluk Intan Leaning Tower


There may be the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, but in Malaysia, we have our own version too. Known as the Teluk Intan Leaning Tower, the 25 meter tower is shaped like a pagoda and was built in 1885 by a Chinese contractor, Leong Choon Choong. It located at Teluk Intan, one of a town in the state of Perak, 160km northwest of Kuala Lumpur. It started to tilt four years after its construction finished due to an underground stream.
