โ โ โ โ โ Exhibition regarding mining. From the process, to the methods, equipment, everything were shown here. Including live experience in the mine as well. You can ride an old mine train for 80 meters in the mine. Then, walk through the mine for 500m

โ โ โ โ โ Historical site that brings you back to the old time. Majority part of the tunnel is well covered with cement mortar/ concrete for safety issue, only at certain corner that you can find original rock formation in the mine.

โ โ โ โ โ Sungai Lembing is home to the largest network of underground tin mines in the world. If all the cross-cut subterranean tunnels were put together, their combined length would be 322km!
The network reaches an incredible depth of 700m at the Myah/Mayah shaft, its deepest mine. Despite this, it is unable to lay claim to the title of deepest mine. That honour goes to the Dolcoath mines in Cornwall, UK with a depth of 1000m.
Sg Lembing however, has a far more extensive tunnel network due to the ocurrence of its tin lodes, which are wider and more evenly distributed than those of the Cornish tin mines.
DID YOU KNOW?
At 322km, the total tunnel length in Sg Lembing, Pahang is more than the distance from Kuantan, Pahang to Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia.

โ โ โ โ โ There are short distance antique train ride from outside the tunnel to inside. Once reach inside the train operator will inform you that you will need to wait for train again if you want to go out or you can use this way to exit (he will point the way). It is like one way road/street. You will need to come out using the same way you go inside. Very interesting, informative and historical. Worth your penny.

โ โ โ โ โ Interesting place with over 100 years of history. Sadly not much artefacts of items on display to engage visitors. Just a short ride into the mine with an old mining train and then a short walk inside with stories along the tunnel. Besides there is not much to see inside the tunnel. No tour guide at all, not sure if it is bcos of MCO lock down. Could hv done it up better with historical and interactive displays. Most would find it boring except the fact it is the longest combined subterranean tunnel in the world at 322km.
