Known as 'The Land of Grace', Perak was once a wealthy tin-mining state. Its name, meaning 'silver', is believed to have been derived from the tin-ore deposits that were once abundant in this state. Today, it greets visitors with a wealth of unique attractions and cultures. Perak's delightful cornucopia of wonders include intriguing cave temples, the country's oldest museum, Malaysia's very own Leaning Tower and the country's first night safari.
