There are plenty of things to do in Sekinchan and below are just some of our favourites:
Photo Ops
Make your way to Redang Beach to make some wishes at the Sekinchan Wishing Tree. With thousands of red ribbons hanging from branches containing people’s individual wishes, you can bet that it’s also a great place for an Instagram-worthy photo shoot. If you’re interested to have your wish on the tree, you can make a small donation to the nearby temple before you get the red ribbon to write your wish on.
There are also other places where you can take a picture without having to pay! Sekinchan is famous for their vast paddy fields and some of them provide the perfect background, with clear blue skies and verdant fields to invoke envy from friends!
Outdoor Activities
Sekinchan is a popular spot for kite flying as the winds are quite strong. You can purchase kites from the local vendors and get started on learning how to fly one!
Visit the fishing village to witness first-hand the lives of the local fishermen at Fisherman’s Wharf.
Educational and Cultural
With the small town known for its rice production, you can learn all about how the rice is processed at the Paddy Processing Factory & Gallery. You will be charged a small fee to enter but it’s a great experience, especially if you’re a family with children.
You can also choose to visit temples, as there are plenty in Sekinchan. The most famous temple is the Nan Tian temple.
Firefly Tour
Kuala Selangor, famous for its night firefly tour is a short 30 minutes drive away from Sekinchan which is easily doable after a day tour.
