- Teluk Intan was once called Teluk Anson in honor of the British planner who drew up the city layout.
Teluk Intan is a minor transportation hub, and buses occasionally let passengers off here for changeovers. Accommodation is sparse and consists mostly of quaint inns in the city center. But few opt to stay for the night, heading instead for Pulau Pangkor or Ipoh.
The main tourist attraction is the city's leaning clock tower, built in the style of a Chinese pagoda. Tourists can climb the tower for a view over the city, admiring the modest collection of colonial homes and Chinese shop houses. The ruins of Raja Muda Palace are interesting but unfortunately off limits to tourists.

Teluk Intan sits in the southern reaches of Perak Province and is within a short drive of Kuala Lumpur where a well-connected airport shuttles international passengers to and from Malaysia. Buses depart Teluk Intun from a lot near the clock tower and reach Kuala Lumpur's Pururaya Station in 3 hours.
