The Bujang Valley is one of the most underrated archaeological sites in Malaysia and it is really worth a visit to spend. The Bujang Valley extends from the Gunung Jerai in the north to the Sungai Muda (river) in the south.
It is a large historic park like complex near the little town Merbok. At the entrance is a little museum (air-conditioned) in a building. The admission of the Bujang Valley Archaeological Museum is free. Inside you'll find many artefacts, which are found in this area. Relics include inscribed stone caskets and tablets, metal tools and ornaments, ceramics, pottery, inscriptions, Buddha Statues and Hindu icons. In the Valley Bujang you'll find remains of more than 50 Hindu temples, called candi.
On the grounds of the museum you'll find some of these temples. Archaeological research indicates, that there has been an ancient Hindu-Buddhist kingdom in this valley possibly as early as 300 CE.
