[2025 Lumut Attraction] Travel Guide for City Mangrove Park (Updated Jul)

#gohiking Location: Taman Paya Bakau, Lumut One of the popular attraction site for tourist in Manjung, entrance to this park was RM3 per pax. If you asked any locals from Manjung, they would probably tell you it is packed with monkeys! We visited at 11am, which was not the typical meal time of monkeys, so there were only a few monkeys spotted. Try to come around 5-6pm, you might get a better sight of monkeys. Park is huge, with cement paved bridge nowadays. I remembered my last visit roughly 10 years ago, the bridge was still made of wood. There are boards explaining different types of trees in the park, for those with inquisitive mind. Otherwise, you could enjoy the breeze and fresh air just like what I have done. Along the path, we managed to spot crabs at the floor of the mangrove forest. After about 10mins walk, you will see a long suspension bridge. Be sure to climb up and enjoy the view! As a general rule to parks, covered clothing and mosquitoes repellent are highly recommended. We stayed for 20mins at the park for general sightseeing. Good educational trip for the young one as you will get to see the habitat of mangrove forest!

#summervacay Setiawan offers a charming one-day escape where culture and nature come together effortlessly. Start with a visit to the Sitiawan Settlement Museum, where you’ll explore the rich Foochow migrant history in a quaint, restored parsonage full of artifacts and nostalgia. After a simple local lunch, head out for a mangrove river cruise, where the real stars are the wild macaques. These cheeky monkeys swim up to boats—expect them to beg for peanuts or even hop aboard! It’s playful, close-up wildlife fun in a calm, scenic setting surrounded by lush greenery and quiet waters. From vintage stories to monkey mischief, Setiawan delivers a compact, refreshing getaway filled with memorable moments. City Mangrove Park is not just a peaceful nature retreat—it’s also home to a cheeky and charming group of wild monkeys that add a touch of liveliness to your visit. These playful creatures often roam near the entrance and parking area, casually observing visitors or swinging through the trees. Watching them in their natural habitat, surrounded by the dense greenery of the mangroves, adds a fun and spontaneous element to the trip. The park itself is beautifully maintained, with wooden boardwalks leading you through cool, shaded trails beneath tall mangrove trees. It’s the perfect place to escape the summer heat, listen to the sounds of nature, and spot wildlife like crabs, birds, and dragonflies. But the highlight for many—especially families—is the unexpected and up-close monkey encounters that turn an ordinary walk into a memorable summer adventure. Tip: Hold on to your snacks and bags—the monkeys are cute, but curious! 📍 Address: Jln Pundut Raya 5, Desa Manjung Raya, 32200 Lumut, Perak, Malaysia  🕰 Opening Hours: Daily, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
