HOLIDAY IN CAMERON HIGHLANDS
During
Labour Day public holiday I and my family visited the smallest district in the
state of Pahang, yes I went to Cameron Highlands. It is the largest and mostly
known for its highland paradise much likely of an English village especially
the smokehouse , old buildings and the flower gardens around it, so beautiful.
We used an alternative road from Kuala Lipis to Cameron Highlands it was quiet
far from my hometown Kuantan, about 430 km. First I was so tired but upon reaching
Kampung Raja I could feel the cool breeze and saw a lot of flower and vegetable
farm along the way to Tanah Rata it really freshen me. My mum told me there are
4 main township and 2 small settlements in Cameron Highlands which are known as
Tanah Rata, Brinchang, Kea Farm, Tringkap, Kuala Terla and Kampung Raja.
Finally at about 1.00 pm we check in
at Pines Resort , Tanah Rata it was a big and beautiful resort with a small
fish pond around the corner of the resort and a park across the road.
After
our lunch we went to Mardi Agricultural Technology Farm it’s a place where
research is done on plants so it can bare more fruits , more resistance to
insect, parasite and healthier. Two
wonderful things I saw here are the apple trees with fruits and grape wine.
There were a lot of different farms in it vegetable farm, daisy farms, rose
garden, fruit farm, orchid farm and cactus farm. We left the farm about 5.30 pm.
As
we were tired of the long journey the night we spend at the resort. The next day, Saturday we planned to go to
Brinchang , Big Strawberry Park and Kea Farm.
The weather was very cool and towards noon it started to rain heavily so
we had our lunch in Brinchang which is famous with a lot of food court and
restaurant. Then we spend some time at the Weekend Open Market my mum bought
some fruits and vegetables there.
At 3.00 pm we left Brinchang to
Kea Farm due to holidays the road was quite jam it took us more than one hour to reach there. I saw a lot of
stalls selling fresh vegetables ,fruits, souvenirs , products of locals, potted
plants and flowers. I bought some key
chain's and other souvenirs for my friends before returning to our resort at 7.30
pm.
My
mum said we will check out at 12.00 noon on Sunday but before that we will
visit Rose Valley in the morning and on the way back home we will stop at Bee
Farm and Bharat Tea Plantation. On
Sunday morning we went to Rose Valley in Tringkap. The were so many different type of roses and all
of it was so beautiful and colourful
felled like I was in wonderland, flowers
and the fragrant of the roses , wow! You
have to feel it by yourself.
By
the time we checked out form the resort at 12.30 pm it started to drizzle and
it was raining heavily as we reach Bharat Tea Plantation, we waited for a while
but no sign the rain going to stop than my uncle suggested we should make a
move home, I was so frustrated but he cheer me up by saying that we will visit
Cameron Highlands again in December. I just manage to take some picture of the
tea plantation from the car. Although it was a short holiday but I was very
happy. Thank you
