Wang Tangga is a valley on the opposite end of Gua Kelam from Kaki Bukit. The name "wang" which is also sometimes written as "awang" refers to a hollow valley with the sky above. Today Wang Tangga is a popular picnic spot. There is a stream that runs through it with a few man-made cascades across it.
Wang Tangga, Perlis.
Wang Tangga today has been nicely done up as a park. Footpaths are available for people to stroll around. There are a couple of bridges across the stream, and they are quite scenic. Further away, there is even a place for camping. I visited Wang Tangga with my fiancée Chooi Yoke as we documented the sights in Perlis for AsiaExplorers.
