🏰 Real-life "Howl’s Moving Castle" 🏰

#springitinerary Stepping out from a Studio Ghibli fantasy, I was amazed by this giant tin dredge ship — the colossal TT5! ⚓️ This iron monster weighs 4,500 tons and has 115 digging buckets that can reach 22 meters underground to mine tin. Back in the day, Perak had over 60 tin dredges, but TT5 is the only remaining one in Malaysia, now preserved as an industrial heritage site of Perak. 🏭✨ Perfect for couples, besties, or family trips! Just a heads-up for those who dislike the sun — bring an umbrella when you get off the car! ☂️ If you’re good with angles, you can snap some epic shots here. 📸🔥 Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge No.5 🕘 9am – 6pm 🎟️ Tickets: 0-3 years: Free 4 years and above: RM21 #mustvisit #perak #ipoh #hiddengem
