Teluk Intan Leaning Tower


Teluk Intan Leaning Tower – The main attraction of the Malaysian town of Teluk Intan is the leaning water tower erected in 1885 by a Chinese builder, Mr. Leong Choon Cheong. It started to tilt four years after its construction finished due to an underground stream. The tower had a clock at the top, and still rings every 15 minutes now. Today, it is seen and used only as a local tourist attraction, and no longer stores water.
