Tin Mining and Horse and Carriage
Museum Sungai Lembing
During the December holidays we brought the kids to visit Muzium Sungai Lembing when we were in Kuantan. Sungai Lembing used to be a well known tin mining town back then. Since last decade the mines have been closed and this colonial building which used to house state officials has been turned into a museum.
Charts about formation of Tin
Within the museum visitors are able to learn about how Tin is formed and what items it has been made into.
Burlaps used to transport tin out of the mines
The kids got to see first hand how tin was collected and how a tin mine had been constructed.
Tin fragments
The boys got to see Tin in it’s raw form and how it has been polished into the pewter ware which we commonly see in shops.
Horse and Carriage Ride
After spending time at the museum we came across this ride on the way back to the car. R decided to let them try the ride as it’s not available back in Singapore and would be fun for them to try out.
The kids loved their short horse ride and it was the first time that they have ridden in such a horse carriage. It was certainly an interesting experience for them.
