Sungai Anak Bukit, Kedah

Sungai Anak Bukit is one of the major rivers that flow through Alor Setar. It is a tributary of Sungai Kedah. Sungai Anak Bukit flows into Sungai Kedah at the Alor Star Chinatown. The site of the confluence is called Tanjung Chali, and has been turned into a public square called Dataran Tanjung Chali.

Sungai Anak Bukit got its name because it flows through the Alor Setar suburb of Anak Bukit, which is the Kedah royal town. Upstream the river becomes known as Sungai Besar, before it meets Sungai Padang Terap.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
