Unit 8, cities in Selangor

Do you knows about Kuala Selangor. I want to tell some imformation about this cities.
Kuala Selangor is a town located in Selangor Malaysia, and is capital of an administrative district of the same name.
many tourists coming this way to look Kelip-Kelip at Kampung Kuantan village or local travellers on a trail of seafood binging. Kuala Selangor town is not particularly big and one can easily walk around without a map or a guide. It is also possible to walk to the Kuala Selangor Nature Park and Bukit Melawati for a visit.
Kuala Selangor is an old royal capital of Selangor. It was conquered by the dutch in,1784 when they successfully attempted to expand from their base in Melaka to control the tin trade of Perak and Selangor.
Bukit Melawati is a hill overlooking Kuala Selangor and theStrait of Malacca. The Dutch destroyed the existing fortifications on the hill during their 1784 invasion, and built a European-style castle, naming it Fort Atlingsburg after their commander. The fort was fought over repeatedly by the Dutch, Sultanate of Selangor and later the British, until all that remains today are some scattered ruins.
Who are interesting about old fort and other local history are welcome to visit Kuala Selangor..That’s all..
