Perlis-Kedah State Gateway

The Perlis-Kedah State Gateway is a scenic landmark situated at the border between the states of Perlis and Kedah, near Bukit Kayu Hitam along the Changlun Highway. Serving as a clear geographical marker between the two states, the gateway is frequently referenced by locals and visitors alike as a notable transition point when travelling along the north-south route in the northern corridor of Peninsula Malaysia. The site has become a popular roadside stop for motorists and travellers who pause to rest, take photos at the state border marker, or simply enjoy the flat agricultural landscapes and open scenery surrounding the area. The surrounding countryside features views of rolling hills and paddy fields, providing a pleasant atmosphere for a brief break. While modest in scale, the gateway has gained traction on social media as a quirky photo-stop, with visitors sharing images of themselves at the state border as a fun travel keepsake. Visiting in the early morning or late afternoon ensures the best lighting for photography.
