Kuala Lipis

Kuala Lipis was a gold-mining centre before the British arrived in 1887. In 1898, it became the capital of Pahang within the British-administered Federated Malay States. During this colonial era, grand buildings, such as the imposing district offices, the Clifford School, and the Pahang Club, were built. The hilltop house of the British resident is now a hotel and museum. The town grew and prospered with the coming of the railway in 1924. However, in August 1955, the state capital was shifted to Kuantan,^[2] and Kuala Lipis fell into decline.^{[citation needed]}

Kuala Lipis has its own nature park, Kenong Rimba Park. It is a forest reserve, which is about 10 km away. Getting to the park requires a bus or cab to Tanjung Kiara Jetty – once there, activities in the reserve are involved, such as trekking, caving or off-roading.

A train station operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) is located near Jalan Pekeliling which is the main road of Kuala Lipis. Pahang Lin Siong express buses connect Kuala Lipis to Titiwangsa LRT/MRT/Monorail station in downtown Kuala Lumpur.
