Rasa is a very quaint and secluded town that does not get a great many visitors. It is a peaceful location that is yet untouched by the hectic city life. But it serves as the perfect stop-over spot en route for those visiting on ahead towards popular holiday destinations such as Chilling Waterfalls (about 30 minute drive away), Genting Highlands (about 50 minute drive away) and Fraser’s Hill (about 1 and a half hour drive away). Many shop houses can be observed with small eateries and stores.
Places of Attraction
The main attraction Rasa proudly presents is the abandoned Tan Boon Chia Mansion. It was built in 1918, by Tan Boon Chia, one of the pioneers of tin mining in Selangor. As he rose from rags-to-riches, he built his stately home sprawled over 1 hectare of land. During the Japanese invasion in 1941, the family abandoned their home and fled, leaving everything behind. The derelict building was restored back to its former splendor and is now preserved as a historical site. It showcases the architectural remains of a bygone era such as archways with Chinese inscriptions and pillars and frames with plasterwork of floral motifs.
