Kota Lukut — Attraction in Negeri Sembilan

It's a historical place of Lukut. DO NOT come here if you have no interest in history and end up giving low rating. You will see nothing if you don't know how to appreciate history. For those who understand, and value the effort of the authority who did their best to maintain the place without any fee required from the public, please come and support this place.

Could be a metal detector hunters heaven but not sure if one is allowed to...

It's a popular jogging area complete with tracks. I was lucky to see a different species of monkeys, darker than the normal ones with white circles around their eyes.
