Perak - Bagan Datuk Colorful Wall Murals...

"Each moment of the year has its own beauty..." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

(Bagan Datuk, a small town by the river)

After spending almost an hour sweating buckets in the Sunflower Farm, we drove towards Bagan Datuk town to cool down and look for a place to have lunch. This is our first time here and we were quite surprised when we arrived at this small colorful township. Because of the movement control order, the shophouses look deserted and lonely. We managed to locate a restaurant in front of the Bagan Datuk Al-Quro' Mosque. Lunch was simple but delicious.

After lunch we drove around town to hunt for murals on the wall. Besides the impressive colorful shophouses and the Promenade, myriad of street arts became popular backdrops for taking photos. There are a collection of interesting and spectacular street arts in this tiny town, some of which depicts the modest living of its community.

Today we did not visit Pulau Sembilan with its ‘sky mirror’ and the ‘blue tears’. We will plan for the trip some other time when it is safer to travel.

Undoubtedly, Bagan Datuk truly possesses many undiscovered unique charms not to be missed.
