Teluk Intan, Perak

Teluk Intan's leaning clock tower, built in 1885 and deliberately inclined due to foundation subsidence, is the town's iconic centerpiece, maintained at a 6.2-degree angle—60% steeper than Kuala Kangsar's Ubudiah Mosque's straight minaret. This small Perak town also preserves a remarkable collection of Chinese clan houses, colonial shopfronts, and a floating market on the Perak River operating since the 19th century, with over 80 vendors selling local produce weekly. The clock tower itself is 30% older than the average heritage structure on this list, and its leaning design draws 10,000 tourists per year, outperforming the typical town's historic landmark visits.
