An evening at Jugra

Sepetang di Jugra... taken with a Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX-II 11-16mm f/2.8 @ 11mm, f/10,

Jugra is a small town on the mouth of the Langat River in Klang Valley, Malaysia. A former royal town for the Sultans of Selangor, it is now just a quaint little fishing village that one goes to for seafood or a popular Chinese dish called Beggar's Chicken. In Jugra, most of the seafood restaurants are by the riverside, so you can watch the sun set over the mangroves on the Straits of Malacca and the fishing boats that go by as you enjoy your meal.

Good for:
  • Quiet seafood meal by the Straits of Malacca
  • Relaxed fishing
  • Watching the sunset over Carey Island 
  • Landscape photography
  • Romantic spot for lovey-dovey couples to hang out
Drawbacks:
  • Mosquitoes especially in the evening and at night
  • Nothing spectacular about the seafood
  • Poor cellphone coverage
