Klang
Klang is Selangor's royal town: a former state capital whose colonial-era shophouses, mosques and the Sultan's Istana Alam Shah sit close to Port Klang, one of Malaysia's busiest container ports. The result is a compact, slightly rough-edged town that mixes palace heritage, Little India markets and renowned bak kut teh stalls with the working rhythm of a major port city.
