Kampar: UTAR Grand Hall Has A Cool Chinese Architecture – Visited UTAR (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman) at Kampar a week ago and found out that there’s a cool building in the campus – the Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik Grand Hall. It has a super duper Chinese-orientated architecture design like those Chinese temple roof, red bricks, water features which makes you feel as if you are in China, minus the cold.

| The grand hall that looks like a Chinese temple from far. LOL, that’s why most UTAR friends told me. |
 |
| The street lamp, beautiful Chinese pattern. |
 |
| Love red bricks a lot. |
 |
| A bit of contemporary design here at the lobby. |
 |
| Semi-circular rounder arch entrance to the hall. |
This is something different and awesome when comparing to my school – Taylor’s University which has a modern minimalist design.
 |
| Check out the water features too. Must be something to do with feng shui, I guess. |
 |
| Chinese words on the water. |
 |
| Chinese word as sculpture. |
 |
| There’s fishes in case you don’t know. |
UTAR, a very famous university among the Chinese-educated group of people, and founded by the MCA (=.=), guess this explains the very-ching-chong-Chinese design of this building. Anyway, I kinda like things like this, at least it stand outs among the many universities in Malaysia. Which campus has special architecture design? Do share with me, down below. =D
