#summervacay Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan – A Malaysian Marvel with a Tilt The Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan, also known as Menara Condong Teluk Intan, is one of Malaysia’s most unique historical landmarks. Located in the town of Teluk Intan in Perak, this striking pagoda-like structure stands proudly as the town’s iconic symbol and is often dubbed "Malaysia’s own Leaning Tower of Pisa." Built in 1885 by a Chinese contractor named Leong Choon Chong, the tower was originally used as a water tank to supply the town during dry seasons and to provide water in case of fire. The clock tower was also used to keep time for the local community. Standing at 25.5 meters (84 feet) tall, the tower has eight levels—though from the outside, it appears to have more due to its tiered, Chinese-inspired design. Its tilt is due to the soft ground on one side and the weight of the water tank at the top, giving it its iconic slant. #travel
