๐Ÿ“Alor Setar Old Railway Bridge โ€“ A Century-Old Hidden Gem in Kedah ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ

#summervacay Looking for a unique, off-the-beaten-path destination in northern Malaysia? The Alor Setar Old Railway Bridge is a must-visit for history lovers and photo enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽฅโœจ ๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ Built in 1915, this historic bridge is over 109 years old, making it one of the oldest railway bridges in Malaysia. It once connected both sides of the Kedah River, serving as a vital transport link. Though itโ€™s no longer in use for trains due to modern double-track rail upgrades, the structure remains standing and is still accessible โ€” now used by pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. ๐Ÿ“ธ Why Visit? Incredible photo ops with a rustic, vintage charm Quiet atmosphere, especially great at sunrise or sunset A piece of Malaysian railway history still standing strong ๐Ÿ’ช โš ๏ธ Important Tips: Walk carefully โ€” itโ€™s an aging structure and no longer maintained for heavy use Weekends and public holidays can be busy with locals and travelers Use Waze and search: Alor Setar Old Railway Bridge #alorsetar #kedahheritage #oldrailwaybridge
