Widely used during the British colonial era, the lighthouse’s beacon still shines and serves as a guide for vessels navigating the Straits of Malacca to this day.
- Bukit Melawati - At the summit of the hill, offering stunning views of the coastline, lies Kota Melawati, an ancient fort constructed by the Malacca Sultanate in the early 16th century.
Kuala Selangor eventually fell to the Dutch in 1784, who fortified the fort with cannons and renamed it Fort Altingburg after Willem Arnold Alting, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1780 to 1797.

Surrounded by a grand decorative wall, entry into the temple is through a magnificent Rajagopuram (multi-tiered main gateway shrine). Standing at 74 feet tall, the 5-tiered Raja Gopuram proudly showcases the architectural wonders within.
- Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park - Kuala Selangor is a quaint coastal village northwest of Kuala Lumpur. Along this river, visitors can observe the famous fireflies (Kelip-Kelip in Bahasa Melayu) during the evenings and nights.

Fireflies, also known as ‘Lightning Bugs,’ shine brightly at night to attract a mate. They can shine during the day as well, but it is not visible to humans.
