Took a trip to Sungai Lembing for a short break, took the bus + public transport. Sg. Lembing is a small town near Kuantan, Pahang. It was founded as a tin mining community when mining operations began in the 1900's.
Distance between Kuantan and Sungai Lembing
Starting at the capital of Kuala Lumpur, I took a express bus from KL to Kuantan. That cost me rm20 (about USD5), and 4 hours travelling time. It was smooth and comfortable. The express bus terminal in Kuantan however, is located quite a distance from the city center, so I had to take a local bus to the city center first.
Terminal Sentral Kuantan and city center bus hub (Hentian Kuantan)
From Hentian Kuantan, I took another local bus to Sungai Lembing. In short, my journey to Sg.Lembing was KL > Terminal Sentral Kuantan > Hentian Kuantan > Sg. Lembing.

Had to cross a river to get to my lodgings.
Finally arrived and this boring story will continue in day 2.
