Cameron gateaway

Cameron Highlands is one of the most popular highlands retreat in Malaysia and normally this place will be swamped by a lot of tourists either from other states or other countries. This place is surrounded by lush untouched greenery with a climate reminiscent of a cool spring day, is the perfect place to gain sweet relief from the pressures of the city with the one you love.

We took a short walk of 174M up to the BOH Tea viewing point where this is a place to allow us overlooking the magnificent tea filled valleys, while enjoying the cool breeze. Take a stroll through lush tea bushes with non-stop of photo taking. Unfortunately due to its rest day on every Monday, we were unable to discover the process of transforming tea leaves into a delicate brew that tantalises the palate. We went on the wrong day!

Cactus Valley is one of the biggest and most popular tourist destination located at the cool mountains of Brinchang, Cameron Highlands. Not only cactus, there are also a lot of varieties of flowers are available for sales. Have a look! If you're not intend to buy, it's ok, just stop by to take as much as photos you like.

When the night dawn, after having steamboat dinner, we visited the chrysanthemum farms. I learned something new when the local farmer lead me through the farms. To enter into the private farms, one must drive a 4x4 car to go through a rough and narrow trunk road. Sound adventurous huh!

To make the chrysanthemum grows faster and taller, they have to be grew under the yellow light bulbs at nite. It took about 3-4 months to grow tall and ready to harvest. This upcoming batch are preparing to be supplied for Chinese New Year.

Flowers are ready to be distributed to the market. A sea of flowers which consist of many colours. I was so excited!

This kind of vegetable is famous among the locals and its easy to be found along the road side. This is nice to cook with balacan or white fermented tau-fu. On top of that, you must also try the cameron sweet corns. Can eat it raw without putting them into the wok. Yummy!

Cameron is famous for its big and sweet strawberries. We bought 2 packets at RM10. We finished all on the way back home.

Steamboat in the cool spring day is something enjoyable. They are plenty of shops which offering steamboat with all type of soups such as herb, tom yam and so on. Finally,we decided to try the charcoal steamboat.


I enjoyed the 2 days holiday gateway in Cameron Highlands. Frankly speaking, i found the hard time to travel up to Cameron as the journey is too tough and too many turning points. Luckily, i didn't vomit throughout the journey.
