Kellie's Castle
|
Kellie's
Castle - This
amazing leftover from colonial times is set by a small
river about 30 KM South West of Ipoh. The castle
referred to is in fact an old unfinished
mansion.
It was to be one in the mould of great colonial houses,
complete with Moorish-style windows & even a
lift. A wealthy British Plantation Owner, William
Kellie Smith, who lived in a splendid mansion in this
area in the early 19th century, commissioned the
building of the "Castle", which was to
be the home
of his (as yet unborn) son. The house was never
occupied, as he died before the castle could be
completed.
|
|
|
Leaning
Tower - The pride of Teluk
Intan, 84km from lpoh, is
its spectacular Leaning Tower. Reminiscent of the Leaning Tower
of Pisa this pagoda-like structure was built in 1885 by a
Chinese contractor, Leong Choon Choong. The dominating 25.5m
tower was once used for water storage in Teluk Intan.

Summit View @ Cameron
Highlands
|
Cameron
Highlands - Nestling
the borders of Pahang and Perak provinces are the Highlands,
Malaysia's most popular hill station destination. It is actually
an area of tremendous natural beauty, encompassing tea farms,
vegetable fields, flower gardens and challenging hiking trails
with rushing waterfalls. It also finds tremendous favor with
many budget travelers because of its cool climate which is in
stark contrast to the hot, humid weather in most parts of the
region.

Crawl
Passage @
Tempurung Cave
|
Tempurung
Cave - One
of the most majestic White Marble & Limestone formations in
Malaysia is the
Mountain. Concealed
within this limestone massif in an intricate system of
caves of magnificent proportions forming a honeycomb inside the limestone
hill. These caves are actually a breath-taking gallery of
Stalagmites, Stalactites, Rim Stone Pools, Curtains, Straws,
Flowstones, Crystals, Pillars & other amazing rock
formations, which are a sample of superb speleological wonders
found only in this part of the world. Tempurung Cave is the main
attraction here. The cave meanders under the limestone hill
forming a tunnel of wondrous and endless rock formations that
run from East to West with a stream running through it
nearly 1.9 KM in length. In early 1950 to 1960 this cave was
used by the Communist as a hide out as there are drawings and
writings (in mandarin) found on the wall at the Rolls Royce
Chamber and also you will see some tools left by Communist &
Miners (mining for Tin) in early 1970's at the Gergasi Chamber
and a beautiful hanging rock garden at Alam Chamber.
