Kuala Kangsar (population 39,300) is the royal town of Perak, Malaysia, located at the downstream of Kangsar River, where it flows into the Perak River. It is the main town in the administrative district of Kuala Kangsar. Two bridges now connect Kuala Kangsar to Sayong. Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Bridge is made out of concrete and is located near the town while Sultan Iskandar Bridge is farther upstream and is made out of steel. Kuala Kangsar is easily accessible via the North-South Expressway and by train.
A nearby village called Sayong is located on the opposite bank of the Perak River. It is the production center of the famed labu sayong - a traditional earthenware container. Small villages in the Sayong vicinity include Kepala Bendang and Kampong Bendang Kering.
Kuala Kangsar is a relaxing town where visitors can have an enjoyable day with few worries about the daily schedules.
