Negeri Sembilan, which is just about 50km south of the nation’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, is one of the earliest tourism draws of the country. Thanks to the existence of a beach resort known as Port Dickson, it has received countless streams of visitors seeking fun and splash under the sun. It offers more than just beaches. There is a little bit of everything for everyone, from the history buff right to the nature lover. A first time visitor to Negeri Sembilan would perhaps be drawn to the significant feature of a great majority of traditional houses which have the distinctive style of the Minangkabau people who had migrated across the Straits of Malacca from Sumatra centuries ago.
