Attractions in Negeri Sembilan

1. Jeram Toi Waterfalls

    The Jeram Toi They were discovered by the British in 1895 and became a popular place where young people and families like to swim in the natural pools and enjoy a picnic or BBQ next to refreshingly cool waterfalls amid a forest reserve area.

The waterfalls are easy to get to and do not require a long trek through the jungle, although there is a hiking trail if you want to. The trail peters out beyond the 4th level and the facilities that used to be here, such as the toilet block for the camping area, are now dilapidated and the area is overgrown.




2. Kampung Orang Asli Bukit Kepong

     Kampung Orang Asli Bukit Kepong is recognised as one of the most beautiful villages in Malaysia. It is a small village of just 150 inhabitants and 44 homes. The population are Temuan people, classified as Orang Asli. Some are a mixed-race with Chinese. I was told that there are a few Muslims here but mostly they follow their own animistic cultural beliefs.

They certainly take pride in their clean and tidy village. The gardens of their simple wooden homes are beautifully maintained and decorated with orchids, cacti, flowering bushes and coconut trees. The village was founded in 1914. The village was previously known as Kampong Mati.

3. Centipede Temple

       Centipede Temple is the nickname given to Then Tze Temple which is located in Jalan Temiang in the northern part of Seremban. The temple is over 140 years old and its beauty and fame attract visitors from all over the world. Devotees have to climb 264 steps to reach the temple.

The temple, also known as Then Tze Khoon, sits on a ridge at the top of Wu Gong Hill (Bukit Jung) about 127 metres above sea level. From its vantage point overlooking a green and pleasant countryside, the temple enjoys the breeze from both sides of the hill. There is a three-storey pagoda with a laughing Buddha statue on the top floor. Although Then Sze is a Taoist temple, it does contain Buddhist images as well, in common with many Chinese temples in Malaysia.

There are a number of statues of deities including the Eight Immortals seated on the rocks amid the trees. There are a lucky tortoise pool and a koi pond overlooked by the statue of Guan Yin.

There is also a pavilion dedicated to Guan Di and a golden toad statue with a coin in its mouth, believed to protect wealth and guard one from bad luck.
