Klang
Built around the Klang River and its historic port, Klang grew into one of Selangor’s principal urban centres. The city lies west of Kuala Lumpur in the broad Klang Valley, an intensely developed lowland shaped by rivers, canals and tidal waterways leading towards the Strait of Malacca. River trade helped make Klang an early administrative centre of Selangor, while Port Klang on the coast now handles much of Malaysia’s container shipping. The town is also Selangor’s royal seat: Istana Alam Shah is the official residence of the Sultan of Selangor. Older commercial districts, housing estates and industrial areas reflect Klang’s transition from river settlement to metropolitan city.
