Located approximately
9km from Taiping, Bukit Larut (Malaysia's oldest and smallest hill resort)
stands at 1,035m above sea level. Accessible only by government-owned
four-wheel-drive vehicles, the road up twists and turns through tropical
virgin jungle with the fresh green fragrance and cool air greeting you
as you ascend. At the summit, one is greeted by a spectacular view of
the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The hill abounds with groves of
evergreens and vibrantly colored flora and fauna. Roses, dahlias, daisies,
pansies, petunias, lupins, and marigolds abound in profusion. The cool
climate also favors golden sunflowers with reputedly the largest variety
in the country.
