Bukit Tinggi

Our final sight-seeing stop was at the Berjaya hill resort at Bukit Tinggi. As this was a place that we had not visited before, it held some considerable interest for us. The cool, cool weather was the obvious attraction. Plus, it had been drizzling lightly as the bus was making its way from the strawberry farm at Genting and this added some wetness to the place.

However, it is to be noted that the replica Colmar Tropicale there is as fake as the showcased French village at the Ba Na Hills on the outskirts of Danang, Vietnam. Still, if you can ignore this fakeness, there are things to keep you busy. Believe it or not, I was mesmerised by the three swans.

From the Colmar Tropicale, we were then transported to the replica Japanese Garden. There was an initial climb up a long flight of steps followed by a 100-metre walk before reaching the entrance into the attraction. I've always have a liking for nature, and my impression was that the Japanese Garden was so much more interesting than the replica French village. Others, of course, may harbour a different opinion.
