If you are passing through the Malaysian capital, the small coastal town of Kuala Selangor is well worth a detour. Most tourists come here for a nocturnal boat trip to see the hundreds of fireflies that light up the mangroves. But this town has other attractions, and it would be a shame to focus only on the fireflies—especially if you are passionate about birdwatching. The avifauna in Kuala Selangor’s reserve is very rich, as is the coastline of the neighboring villages, which host thousands of waders.
