Chuping

Chuping

Chuping is a small town in Perlis, Malaysia. It is located to the northeast of Kangar, the state capital. The town has 22,000 hectares of plantations[1], which consist of rubber estates and the largest sugar cane plantation in Malaysia.[2]

Chuping's name may be taken from a limestone hill in the area called Bukit Chuping. There are many limestone hills in the area, and several caves containing bats. The guano used to be collected for use as a fertiliser, for crops such as rice, as it contains nitrates and iron(III) phosphate.

The highest temperature in the country was recorded in Chuping on April 9, 1988 at 40.1 °C (104.2 °F).[3]

Accessibility

Chuping is accessible from a trunk road bound for Kangar and Koding. The trunk road is situated after the Jitra Selatan exit of the North–South Expressway. Buses that travel along the Kuala Perlis-Kangar route pass through this town.[1]
