From here, it is about 30 minutes to Tin Dredge. Go straight on, till the end. Follow signs to Tanjung Tualang, which is a right turning. Then, drive on to Tanjung Tualang. The Tin Dredge is visible on the left, by the road side.
 RM6 for adult. RM3 for kid. 
There is a very small tin mining museum at the ticket counter.
One of the many photos that were hung on the wall. 
We were awestrucked by the colossal metal dredge. 
Visitors are allowed to view the ground floor.
After reading Lat's comic book which talked about this metal monster, the kids were excited to view a real one.
Looking at the series of solid metal buckets were awesome.
The wire cables and pulleys.
Huge rusty spanner seen hung at the side.
Tin ore sifters. The dredged soil are sifted here among the arrays, where heavier tin ore are submerged into the rectangular compartments for further process.
"Maximum production at low cost and no trouble" a tagline on the wall of the operation office room upstair.
 From this view, the kids said "It does look like a metal monster"
Such enormous and beautiful machine.
