The capital of the strictly Muslim state of Perlis.It is present in the northern peninsular Malaysia.
major landmarks are:
- EPF Tower, one of the highest point in Kangar
- kubu hill recreational park.
- lay World Weaponry Museum
- Medan Mountain
- Perlis Craft Cultural Complex
- Perlis State Mosque
- State Museum and Heritage Hall
- Syed Alwi State Mosque, the former state mosque built in 1910
The state makes an interesting little stop as you either head into or out of Malaysia, though most travelers tend to only see it as a transit point either to Pulau Langkawi or Thailand. It’s easy to get around and is also cheaper than many other parts of Malaysia.Spectacular limestone outcroppings similar to those in Thailand rise from the flat rice paddies that stretch across much of Perlis’ landscape. These outcroppings are part of the longest continuous limestone range in Southeast Asia, the Nakawan, which extends along the national border like a great wall. Due to the majority of people here being Muslim and alcohol practically nonexistent. The only really busy-by-night area is near the express bus station, where shops and a handful of food stalls stay open until late.The small town square together with Pasar Raya shopping complex is the most happening area, with banks, a post office, small roadside restaurants and a crowded KFC that’s open 24/7.
