CAMERON HIGHLANDS 金马崘高原

Cameron Highland

 

Cameron Highlands is Malaysia 's premier hill resort located in the State of Pahang , on the Main Range of Peninsular Malaysia.Situated at 1520m above sea level, this is Malaysia's green bowl supplying vegetables to the major cities of the country and to Singapore. The cool climate makes it an excellent tea growing area and indeed the Cameron tea is highly prized in the world market. With temperatures ranging between 25 and 10 degrees Celsius, this place is popular all year round with tourists. It is the largest of the Malaysian Hill resorts.

 

Much of its appeal lies in the neat sprawling tea plantations, which date back to 1929, as well as the terraced flower gardens, strawberry farms, orchards and vegetable gardens. Being a popular hill resort, Cameron Highlands is well developed with visitor amenities, tourist attractions, activities and a range of accommodations for a comfortable, leisurely holiday in cool invigorating climate. Places of interest are the Robinson Falls, the Rose Garden nurseries and the strawberry and vegetable farms. A visit to the tea plantation is well worthwhile, to see how one of the world’s favourite beverages is processed fresh from the plantations. Stroll around and admire the old colonial buildings such as the Old Smokehouse. This hill station is surrounded by jungles and trails are marked for jungle trekking. There are various villages inhabited by Orang Asli. There is also a golf course.

 

Cameron Highlands consists of a series of little townships, which include Ringlet, Tanah Rata, Brinchang, Tringkap, Kuala Terla and Kampung Raja. The total population is approximately 30,000, the majority of whom are employed in agriculture and the leisure industry. The best tourist amenities are sited in and around Tanah Rata, the administrative center of the highlands, but Brinchang is fast catching up with a number of hotels, apartments and restaurants.
