If you are a fan of history, then you are in for a treat! Take a ride down memory lane on an antique mine cart in Sungai Lembing’s abandoned tin mines. As the death knell sounded for the tin industry, gone are the glory days in Sungai Lembing. Nevertheless, there is much historical significance in these mines, which have been recently restored for exploration.
As the train enters the dark tunnel, feel a rush of cold breeze brush and your heart thump quicker with each chug. Shrouded in mystery and rumours of supernatural phenomenon, the eerie tunnel is ghastly yet captivating. Fun fact: these mines are more than 300-kilometres long and 700-metres deep – that’s the height of 14 storeys!
These decrepit mines tell the tales of blood, sweat and tears of young men who laboriously slogged in these dangerous mines, some never to see the light of day. More importantly, they also encapsulate the tenacious spirit of Malaysians who struggled to bring the bread home for their families – a single aspect that forms the cornerstone of Sungai Lembing’s identity.
