February Highlight: Genting Highlands Day Two

Day Two of my first Genting trip! Programme for the day: Chin Swee Temple, Strawberry Farm and Mushroom Farm. Yes, more pictures. They just say it all xD

Chin Swee Temple

Good morning! View from hotel room.

We are travelling by cable car down. Gulp!

The cable car experience is okay but I'm paranoid I guess. Nice experience though! Can ride on good weather days.

Yep. See how high it was? Lol...

Mushroom Farm

On our way down, we paid a visit to the Mushroom Farm and had our lunch nearby too. More pics!

Lunch. Bak Kut Teh. Not bad!

Off to the Mushroom farm. Honestly I had no idea mushrooms are grown like this. Hehe.

More pictures taken just outside the Mushroom Farm. Some sculptures and statues outside.

Strawberry Farm

Further downhill we stopped at the Strawberry Farm too. I heard the strawberries are better in Cameron Highlands. Still, this is my first Strawberry Farm ^^ At this height we can already slowly feel the heat xD

Besides strawberries, they also exhibit some other stuffs like bees, honeys etc.

After going around the farm and buying some strawberry products, we completed our journey back to the city. It was afternoon when I got back into my room and I felt like I just came back from another world. It's easy to see why people opted to go up to Genting for some quick getaway from the city; it gives you that sense of escape from reality and allows you to be a kid again.

February Highlight: Genting Highlands Day One

Thanks to the generosity of my friends for their invitation and accommodation, I had the chance finally to go to Genting Highlands! Heard of this place for a long time already and finally had the chance to go there! So we all went there for the Doraemon event that was happening at the same time, also to look at the fireworks display at night in celebration of Chap Goh Mei xD

Some interesting structures along the way up

As we go higher it's cooler, foggier and cloudier. Mountain feel FTW!

We finally reached and had a walk in the First World resort, and it's wonderful. It's a whole different world up here. Mini theme park, and everyone dressed in their warm clothes due to the cold. Awesome! And the casinos are in there too.

We actually queued for quite a long time outside for the Doraemon entry because of the huge crowd so we were all freezing because of the wind, despite the sun. However, we finally got in after more than 1hr and started our Doraemon tour.

Then we went and ate dinner and then walked around more in the First Resort. Then time to go out for the fireworks. It was awesome! :D

Again another 2hrs of standing outside but getting high. xD Afterwards we got some coffee then went back hotel to rest for the night.


Next up: Day Two!
