Cameron Highlands
The colonial hill stations and tea plantations high in the hills on the
Malaysian peninsula offer a temperate contrast to tropical beaches.
British surveyor William Cameron founded the colonial settlements in 1885; the
Cameron Highlands is now a centre for the production of vegetables and flowers.
At the turn of the 19th century the British Colonials designed the hill stations
to resemble English villages with country inns, churches and bungalows, many of
which still are still to be seen today. The beauty of the region with
waterfalls, misty mountain peaks and tea terraces makes the area a popular
getaway and a favoured destination for honeymooners.
