Genting Highlands - A Resort in the Sky

Some people pronounce Genting as gun-ting, some jenting, some ghenting with the hard G. But whatever the right pronounciation is, I must say that I love it there.
Upon arrival, we were welcomed with the 3.38 kilometers of skyway. The longest cable ride in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. It is also the "World's Fastest Mono Cable Car System". The air was crisp all the way up. We were on top of the rainforest but it was dark so we were not able to see how spectacular it was. I took this photo on our way down the next day.
It was almost 8:00 in the evening when we arrived. We ran fast to our hotel because it was fogging and so cold but I'm loving it because it is so hot in my country. I never thought that it could be that cold in Malaysia. But yes its cold, Genting is at the top of the mountain.
We stayed at The Theme Park Hotel formerly named Highlands Hotel, the first hotel In Genting that was opened in 1971.

No airconditioned. I think all hotels don't have AC because the weather is too cold but they have fan to make the air circulate inside the room.

In the morning, fogs were so thick. We cannot see anything below. We strolled and waited for the sun to shine. And God is so good, He gave us the sun. He wanted us to appreciate even more of His creation. We rushed to the park of The Theme Park Hotel.
It's awesome. The breeze was cold and the greeneries soothed me.
They have a maze garden.
The misty flowers were amazing.
The view below was spectacular.
Everything is perfect! 

Some went to the casino, some enjoyed the rides while we enjoyed the nature.

Our skyride was not enough on our way up to the mountain. We decided to take the skyway on our way down.
After our cable ride, a very hospitable and accomodating cab driver toured us to the strawberry farm and the chocolate store. The strawberry farm is unique.
They grow tomatoes too. 
The chocolates are expensive but until now I'm wishing I'm rich to buy all the chocolates there.

Genting Highlands Resort or Resort World Genting is a place not to be missed when you visit Kuala Lumpur.

It is a place to return to...
