#TRAVELWITHME: XCAPE RESORT | SG. LEMBING (KUANTAN) - 2 DAYS 1 NIGHT

A sleepy town lies deep in Kuantan hinterlands, which was once  the second richest tin deposit and biggest underground tin mine in the world in the early 1900's. SUNGAI LEMBING , 42 kilometers away from Kuantan was the centre of attraction because of its tin ore. Its shafts and subterranean tunnels reached depths of between 450 meters to 650 meters, reputedly the deepest in South East Asia and was estimated to be some 322 kilometers long if joins together.  However, when tin prices fell sharply during the late 60's, SUNGAI LEMBING was being abandoned and most of the town folks left for a greener pastures.  Thinking back, I couldn't even remember when was the last time I visited Kuantan. Maybe 10 years back then, I supposed. Can't be more excited for my sweet escape, I am saying goodbye to the bustling city life and "Rock n Roll" with crazy adventures and beautiful scenery.  Hello nature, here I come! Without taking any sleep, our journey to Kuantan ...
