Tourism Ministry official briefed us of the Tourism Hunt activities. |
Bukit Gambang Resort City, Malaysia -- When you talk of
Malaysia, the first thing that comes to mind is Kuala Lumpur and its famous
Petronas Towers. Until recently, I’ve never
really seriously thought of coming back to Malaysia after my first
not-so-pleasant trip in 2008 with a mad cabbie.
Yes, I enjoyed pretty much of my trip – the
hotel was very nice, food was fabulous and the best part, shopping at KLCC
during the Merdeka celebrations was unbelievably low. But other than
that, I thought Malaysia was so much like the Philippines and I didn’t really have
to travel here to enjoy what I already enjoy back home. But thanks to an invitation from Tourism
Malaysia-Manila, my view of Malaysia has completely changed.
Malaysia is definitely more than just Kuala Lumpur and Petronas. Or good food and shopping. As a participant
in the on-going Malaysia Tourism Hunt 2012, I’ve been awed by the beauty of
this country. The well-built and wide
highways makes driving across the country more fun. We took off from Putra Jaya
last Thursday from the Tourism Ministry grounds, with no less than Tourism
Minister Dato' Sri Dr. Ng Yen Yen doing the flag off.
Day 1 of our road trip, Sept. 21. (Officially
Day 2 of the Tourism Hunt) We headed to the east coast and the first stop was
at Kuala Bharu, a charming small old town.
We pretty much created traffic jam in an otherwise sleepy little town.
After a short historical walk hunt, we proceeded to Fraser’s Hill which is one
of Malaysia’s popular mountain resorts.
Unlike Genting Highlands, Fraser’s Hill is a quiet get-away where
families can bond with nature. It has a
golf range, a lake where one can ride boats, and best of all, it has a forest
with rich fauna and flora. One of my
team mates and I did a little adventure in a 1,000-meter trail where we saw
(and hear) birds of different species.

Off to the east we go. |

That's our car, during a short stop to stretch and have a leak break before the long drive. |
|
Our first pit stop: Kuala Kubu Baru. We went around the town for a historical walk. |
