Terong - the Sleeping Town

Charcoal Factory @ Terong,Perak

This beautiful picture was taken in Terong which is in Perak, Malaysia. The photographer C'LAVIE (Flickr) describes the place as  'a small sleeping town 17km off Taiping. Hectic life is merely non-existent, as time passes indefinitely slow in this town which mainly produces charcoal. Other attractions are mangrove swamp fishing activities and friendly people.'

Perak is a state based in Malaysia and the name means 'silver' in the Malay language. The state is the home of the country's oldest museum and oldest zoo. Also, they have a factory which specialises in the production of cottages. And according to the source which I'm using they have a beautiful nature and offer some trips with a tent. Other industries in the state include emphasising on Oils Palm and fruit produce and growth, mining is in decline. 
It seems that the time has stopped there and they have some old buildings and rail system unchanged during the years. 

I managed to find some pictures of their cottages and a website of the company producing it. A cabin costs about 700$ and there are many ways you can pay including leasing as an option. The website is http://www.parkcabins.com/
