Setiawan 品仙祠大伯公

妈妈说她要到Setiawan 拜大伯公,她们一行40多人特意来霹雳州拜拜。 我没听说过 Setiawan 实兆远这地方，就上网查查。原来这是一个新崛起的旅游点，从KL去不会太远，就约朋友出发了。

星期六早上9.30就驾车往Setiawan 前进， 我们都不晓得如何去，就只是参考其他网友的意见。
他们的资料很齐全：  
Jalan Pasir Panjang
Kampung Pasir Panjang Laut, 32000 Sitiawan, Perak
GPS ： 4.163475,100.688934

有人说从Kuala Selangor去很近，但是对Kuala Selangor并不熟悉，我们还是选择用Plus Highway。可以从Sungkai，Bidor 或 Tapah Exit。我们选Tapah Toll 出，跟着 Tapah Road 走，后一直跟 Teluk Intan 路牌。一路上都是Kampung小路，你问我这是不是最好的路线？就见仁见智了。一路上全靠GPS，我个人认为没GPS单靠地图还真难找到。 我们花了约3小时的路程抵达Setiawan品仙祠大伯公庙。 

路途中还遇到一辆啰哩翻车了。

过了大桥，就看到一大片的空地停放着很多车辆与旅行巴士，停车场不收费。

我们先到庙里拜拜，这儿有品仙祠大伯公和观音堂，相比之下大伯公的香火较为鼎盛。多数人到这是求财、保平安，我当然也不错过。（庙内的香一束RM4）

 这有有四大金刚、18罗汉、12生肖、8仙等大大小小的石雕：

这最有名、特别的当然是64尺高的大伯公神像金身，宏伟壮观地面向大海。

在大伯公神像金身的左边写着花果山，这其实是一片沼澤森林。

回前还可到摊位买买逛逛，可买到 Setiawan 出名的面线，红糟，福州饼、粽子、小食等等。

看到很有趣的厕所标记：

 回程我们先到Setiawan吃午饭，我们用不同的路线回KL。我们以为走一段小路就可出Highway，可是我们约走了2小时的小路穿过Teluk Intan，往Bidor从Sungkai Toll 出回Plus Highway。虽然不同路线，但全路也是3小时。
