Kampung Mambang Di Awan - Kampar, Perak

If not for its name, Kampung Mambang Di Awan (Fairies in the Clouds) would have simply gone unnoticed except for the occasional lost tourist on his way to Gua Tempurung.

The residents are accustomed to the catty comments associated with their village’s name.

The legend goes, while gazing at the clouds after a tiring day of labouring at the mine, a group of men began seeing fairies in the clouds.

The miners befriended the sylphs whom they quickly learned could shift the clouds around to shelter them from the sweltering heat.
