Dried Shrimp and Belacan Making -Kuala Gula

 Wanna see how dried shrimp is made? You get to see lots of that in Pulau Ketam.  But visit the Chinese Fishing Village near Kuala Gula, and you'll see deep orange dried shrimp, and Belacan Making. Certainly interesting and fascinating. :) To get there, follow directions as going to Kuala Gula, but instead of turning into Jalan Bersatu 1, you go another 100 metres until after the shophouses then turn left... Go straight and you'll come to the village.

Kuala Gula- Perak

Kuala Gula, situated in Nothern Perak consists of mangrove, mudflats and estuaries. It's really a lovely place for bird watching. Highly recommended that you book a boat with a guide to enjoy your trip. :) We went as part of our study on  Mangrove. (Please visit link to read about the whole trip, this page is just an excerpt.)

Directions as given by friend :
From Jalan Kamunting Lama heading towards PLUS highway, turn right onto Route 1 (trunk road) instead of the toll booths..
After driving for almost 8 km, turn left onto Jalan Gula (signboards will be there).
After 17 km ++, turn left onto A196.
After 4 km ++, turn left onto Jalan Bersatu 1.

One can easily spot egrets and herons there
