Bukit Melawati, the hill overlooking the town.
It provided an ideal site for monitoring shipping in the straits of Melaka, first by the sultans of Selangor, then by the Dutch and British.
It is now also a place for sighting the "New Moon". A latticed structure has been constructed for the purpose of sighting the new moon to determine the date of fasting month of Ramadhan.
There is also a lighthouse, a wooden resthouse, and several monkeys on the hill.
You can walk up or there is a road that does a clockwise loop.
