Besides having fun in the sun and getting in touch with nature, you can also soak in the state's captivating history and customs.  The state is heavily influenced by Minangkabau culture brought centuries ago from Sumatera.  The influence can be seen today in the upswept roofs, shaped like buffalo horns on traditional houses and modern state buildings.  The food is also very rich and spicy, and the dialect is thick with Minang, which is spoken by people across the straits.

Seremban, the state capital that was once known as Sungai Ujung, is a busy town thriving with activities.  Here, you can visit the Seremban Lake Gardens.  It is so beautiful park in the heart of the town surrounded by interesting buildings like the State Assembly, the State Mosque, the State Library and Istana Hinggap ( the city palace of the State's Ruler).  There is also a Bird Park here.

The State Cultural Complex, located near the second exit from the North-South Expressway to Seremban, stands out among the Minangkabau architectures in Seremban.

Another architectural wonder is the Seri Menanti Royal Museum.  This former palace was built without a single nail!  It was put together using only wood pegs.  Built in 1908, based on traditional concepts then used in Minagkabau, its remains sturdy until today.  The palace is now a Royal Museum and is open to the public.

Pedas Wet World Resort, which is a water theme park, is popular for its hot spring.  The streaming hot water is believed to have medicinal properties.  The resort also has various recreational facilities such as a water playground and a man-made pool for children and adults.
