kluang
Kluang is in the center of the Malaysian state of Johor. It is geographically located at 110km north from Johor Bahru, east-southeast of Batu Pahat, west of Mersing and south of Segamat. This district is the only district that does not have a sea front, as it is surrounded by all other districts namely, Johor Bahru, Pontian, Batu Pahat, Segamat, Mersing and Kota Tinggi, except Muar district.
The name Kluang comes from the Malay word keluang, which means a type of flying fox or rather a type of fruit bat. Alas, the critters have almost completely disappeared, and some suspect that the town was named after two mountains that resemble the head and wing respectively of a bat from a distance.
It is said that the famous coffee shop at Kluang Railway Station serves the best coffee in Malaysia. Gunung Belumut and Gunung Lambak are popular with jungle trekkers. Besides,you can enjoy horse riding activities at Gunung Lambak.The area of Machap (on the road between Simpang Renggam and Air Hitam) is well known for its pottery and porcelain.
Also noteworthy is an authentic coffee shop located in no. 56, Jalan Lambak by the name of Tong Fong Cafe (a.k.a. Eastern Cafe) which was very popular with the British soldiers during the heyday when Malaya was still under British rule. The operator is a second generation descendant of the owner and the coffee shop has been operating since 1954.
Besides that, there are few shopping malls in Kluang town, like BCB Plaza and Kluang Parade. The latest opening one is Kluang mall.
