FUN CITY ABOVE the CLOUD>>GENTING HIGHLAND






Genting Highlands otherwise known as Resorts World Genting is a hill resort in Malaysia developed by Genting Group. It is nestled on a mountain peak within the Titiwangsa Mountains on the border between the states of Pahang and Selangor of Malaysia. Resorts World Genting is operated by Genting Malaysia Berhad which also operates Awana chain of resorts & hotels. It is accessible by car from Kuala Lumpur in one hour, or also accessible by a cable car called Genting Skyway which at its opening used to be the world's fastest and South East Asia's longest gondola lift.

One of the popular destination in Genting Highland is Outdoor and Indoor Theme Park. The cool mountain air makes it an exhilarating experience to enjoy the many rides at the Outdoor Theme Park. Whether taking leisure drives in the Antique car or experiencing the adrenaline pumping Space Shot, it's a magical adventure of fun and excitement for the whole family. The example of game facilities of outdoor theme park are thrill rides ( Rolling Thunder Mine Train, The Waves, Cyclone and others), family rides ( Monorail, Astro Fighter, Boating and others), and children rides ( Kiddie Rides,  Rodeo Rides, Fun land and others. In the other hand, the example of game facilities of indoor theme park are thrill rides ( Euro Express, Flying Dragon, 4D Motion Master and others), family Rides ( Rio Float, Reindeer Cruiser, Mini Train and others) and children rides ( Junior Bumper Car, Carosel, Ride de Paris and other).




Genting Highlands offers a mixed range of entertainment and leisure activities beyond its theme park and surrounding tourist attractions. Casinos are undoubtedly the biggest draw here, as Genting is the only licensed gambling spot in Malaysia on land. It is not unusual to find large crowds swarming the casinos daily, especially from late night till wee hours of the morning. The casinos admit only non-Muslims aged 21 and above with a formal dress code, but these restrictions are highly relaxed at most times. Gambling is a great way to lose your fortune overnight, as many locals can attest having whittled away their savings at blackjack, poker and baccarat. 





The Genting Highlands Strawberry Leisure Farm is a recent attraction in Gohtong Jaya town, located right opposite the Mawar and Bunga Raya Apartments a short distance away on foot from Seri Malaysia Hotel. It's a straight import from Kea Farm in Cameron Highlands, where strawberries have proliferated into a kitsch industry spanning jams, chocolates, cushions, toys and key chains. The strawberry farm is free to enter, but only half is occupied by plants; the rest are dedicated shopping and dining zones. Strawberries are not the only fruits propagated here; mushrooms, bean sprouts and flowers are cultivated in adjoining nurseries.
