Negeri Sembilan






Welcome to Negeri Sembilan

Port Dickson Bearch
The popular beach of Port Dickson is also a town in itself. Years of development has blunt its glitter but the quaint place still has some magic left to uncover. Visitors can still enjoy the usual swimming and water sports but those after untouched spots should head to Tanjung Tuan, a beach accessible only by a 30 minute trek through coastal forest or the Blue Lagoon, a scenic and peaceful beach.


Sri Menanti Royal Museum
The charming town of Sri Menanti houses the Sri Menanti Royal Museum which was built at the turn of the century with only wood – no nails or screws. Incorporating 99 pillars soaring at 65 feet each, the museum is an architectural marvel. Inside, the regalia of the Negeri Sembilan Royal family are stored along with costumes, weapons, bed chambers and documents on the Royal lineage.

Lukut Museum
The museum commemorates Lukut’s golden era as a bustling tin mining area. Artifacts from a sunken Dutch-East Indian battleship from 1606 are also stored here. Other attractions include the nearby Lukut fort built in 1847 to protect the town’s former tin trade.
