Lenggong, located in northern Perak, may not always be on the top 10 list of recommended places to visit in Malaysia. But this quiet, quaint town has so much to offer visitors, like the Perak Man.

The Perak Man is South-East Asia’s oldest, most complete human skeleton that has ever been discovered. It is considered one of the world’s most important archaeological discoveries.
