The tourism narration collage highlights the historical and adventurous storyline throughout our site - Sg. Lembing. One primary principles adopted in this project is “Tourism�. The layout of Sg.Lembing is separated into 2 major locations, the heart of the town and the borderlines of the town. Tourists used to visit the main attractions including the museums, tin quarry, flower gardens, photographies, river sports and other outdoor activities, while settling for accommodation on the opposite side of the river. In other words, the river became a crucial connectivity element within the site anchored by series of bridges. Without consistent preservation of this connectivity, tourist began to desert the vicinity, hence eventually becoming a ghost town.

During the 1900s initially, the village opposite the heart of the town across the river is a Malay based rural area. As the tin mining industry around Sungai Lembing began to develop in the past, many Chinese workers began to migrate into Sg. Lembing in order to get an employment opportunity in the business. Periodically, the village began to assimilate and adopt influence from various beliefs, becoming a multi-cultural and multi-religious community. Today, the majority of the population adopts Buddhist, Islam, and Christian beliefs.
The rural settlement embodied the behavior and local culture away from modern technology. Enriching their lifestyle and business including numerous food and beverage business like mamak and kopitiam serving local food such as : Sg. Lembing Mee, Mee Jawa, Coconut Biscuit, Tofu Hua, Tofu Cheesecake, and the well renowned roasted pork. Additionally, the village is a mix of both Malay and Chinese community living together harmoniously, with Cantonese and Hakka as the common language within the Chinese community present there. Several house typology can also be categorized into : • Traditional house -Timber construction, shophouses style, vernacular architecture • Commercial building - timber and bricks hybrid construction, colonial style • Accommodations - Contemporary style The village has amused numerous visitors with the distinctive beauty of the natural landscape. Hills and valleys surrounding the village provide stunning view of the sunrise. The village organized along the river allows a perfect soil profile for agricultural purposes. Therefore, people took advantage of this natural condition and begin deforesting nearby forests to be replaced into a mass palm oil farm. As a result, sedimentation gradually accumulate by the river causing the area to be vulnerable to flood.
Many elderly who are mostly former tin miners live a more slow-paced lifestyle in the community, while younger generations living a more active lifestyle in the town. To sum up, Sungai Lembing is a memory of history from the old generation along with old buildings as they attempt to remain the essence of the originality.
