Located in Larut district in Taiping municipality, Matang is all about mangrove swamp. It covers more than 40,000 hectares of world renowned well-managed mangrove swamps and habitats to species of birds and marine life. Rent a boat and a guide to explore more of this swamp. Just don't forget to look around when approaching those mangrove trees as snakes can always be seen hang out on tree branches but I doubt there are crocodiles around.
Other treats:
Other than mangrove trees, visitors to Matang can also enjoy the scenery of fishing village of Port Weld as well as old-school charcoal ovens used to produce charcoal from mangrove trees. Also famous in this area is Mee Udang (Prawn Noodles), a spicy yellow noodles in broth of fresh prawns.
