About 15 km from Taiping, near Kuala Seputang (formerly known as Port Weld) is a row of five charcoal factories situated next to one of the largest mangrove swamps in Malaysia. Charcoal is made from "bakau wood" of the mangrove tree. Interesting place to visit if you have seen neither a mangrove swamp nor charcoal before :-) Best wishes to all, kayes.
