The Foremost Highland in Malaysia
Awesome and outstanding scenery. But make sure you arrive at the right place. As one of the highlands in Malaysia, Cameron Highlands (CH) is well known for its strawberry and tea farms (the other highlands are Genting and Fraser Hill....). As chill as Brastagi in Indonesia, CH offers natural tranquility that would make all your crowded mind left behind. Indulge your body at the spa and discharge all your negative ions away. Located at the heart of Titiwangsa range, CH is approximately 200km away from Kuala Lumpur or moreless 3 hrs drive from Kuala Lumpur Int. Airport (KLIA), Sepang. There are four roads that lead to this place; two from the west and two from the east. If you're from north, find the E1 highway (motorway in England) which heading to the south and take the Simpang Pulai exit. If you're from KL or south, take the E1 highway to the north and exit at Tapah. There are two small towns up here which are the Brinchang and Tanah Rata. Lots of resorts, high class hotels and budget hotels here, and there is a golf course too. Most of the hotels here offer 'steamboat' - sister to Mongolian's and Chinese's hot pot (I learned that when I visited Beijing). For those who are not familiar with it, steamboat is actually a dish where the fresh vegetables and sliced meat are cooked in the boiling soup in the pot. There is dipping sauce too to stimulate the taste. The soup might be Malaysian version of Chinese herbal soup or Thai's tom yum soup.
