" Once in a while, it's good to slow town & enjoy the Simple Pleasures in LIFE" 

July weather in my home state of Selangor (including Klang Valley) is hot & humid but may experience high rainfall on a particular day especially in the late afternoon or night ! As I do not have an overseas travel plan in July 2025 (however, come late August 2025, I will be doing a free & easy visit to Southern Xinjiang, China together with a travel buddy), I thought it would be a good idea that for this Sunday weekend (not a Sunday blue but a shining Sunday brightening up my day !) hence together with my wife & 3 sisters, our group made a visit (self drive) to Rawang, a suburban town approx 35km from Kuala Lumpur City Centre for a 3 in 1 style visit ie a little sightseeing, Chinese temple visits & a little eating ! I have not really "step" on to Rawang town for quite some years (despite the close proximity) hence a strong desire to go ahead on this staycation visit ! Nearby to Rawang, there are a few tourist attractions you may like to consider visiting ie Taman Rimba Templer, Selangor Fruit Valley, Taman Eco Rimba etc.

Rawang Town - a suburban town in Gombak District, Selangor, approx 23km northwest of the city centre Kuala Lumpur, due to its close proximity to Kuala Lumpur, the town has experienced rapid growth especially in the SMI industries & residential sector during the last decade !
