CAMERON HIGHLAND

Cameron Highland is just an hour drive from Ipoh, and more or less the same too from Tapah. The Ipoh route is more favourable since it is a new link and the roads are much wider and safer. I have been to this hill-resort many times and always love to visit again. Not only it is very beautiful and cooling up here but also being the only hill-resort which has many facilities and covered a large area to visit. There are several towns up here too and they are never short of lodging facilities too.

Cameron produces much of the high quqlity vegetables for the lowlands and some of the veges are exported overseas too, especially Singapore. Apart from the vegetables, there are varieties of beautiful flowers grown here. The blooms are sold locally and also exported as far as Japan. Since the weather is temperate and cooling up here, many species from the temperate countries are grown successfully. The variety of colours from the flowering plants definitely make Cameron as a big beautiful garden.

The famous Raja Brooke Butterflies, are found abundantly in the Cameron's environment. Grapes of both varieties, green and red are also grown here successfully and the strawberies too. The market place at Brincang are always crowded with visitors making their purchases for the fresh vegetables of Cameron Highland.

With all the beautiful blooms, fresh vegetables, fresh and cooling air make Cameron an ideal place to visit or to stay for a few nights here. Normally, I stayed a night whenever I made the trip to this hill-resort.
