| Situated at the confluence of Sungai Lipis and Sungai Jelai, Kuala Lipis is one of the earliest settlements in Pahang. In its heydays, it was the commercial hub and capital of the state. Being the oldest town in Pahang its heritage is evident in its historical buildings. Istana Hinggap Perched on top of a hill, it commands an excellent view of Kuala Lipis town. This palace of Moorish architecture, built in 1926, was once the court of royal pomp and splendour. Istana Hinggap still remains a faithfull servant to the Pahang royal family. Lipis District Administrative Building. Completed in 1919, it was the administrative centre of Pahang and housed the offices of the Chief Minister and State Secretary.

| Although the grandeur of its glory days have all but disappeared, the club retains a handful of loyal members who while their evenings away in the bar, just down the hall, to the right. There is also a snooker room and a badminton court, which is frequently used by several of its 60-some members. Outsiders are welcome for drinks at the bar and some food. A good time to go would be from 6pm - 8pm when the regulars turn up for their happy hours. They can whip up some great stories about their town and are happy to chat with visitors through the night. Dwindling members and poor funding is a big setback for the club for it is at an advanced stage of disrepair |
