Pahang Genting Highlands - 蓬莱仙境 | 清水岩 | 天坛 | 云顶高原

It was a half-day trip to drive up to Genting Highland in Pahang state with my parents-in-law and relatives. My last visit to Genting was 19 years ago - year 1990! Worth for this trip and managed to capture several interesting shots.

Several interesting shots shared: -

It was amazingly blue blue sky. The captures were naturally come out from camera. No editing and saturation level adjusted. No CPL attached. Truly beautiful and unbelievable stunning captures. I kept on pinching myself to make sure I was not dreaming :-) Check out the below: -

I climbed up 9 levels in spiral staircase. Feel very comfortable on top of 9th level to view the scene. Stunning view and I feel inner peace.

Location 2: 鲤鱼门(Lei Yue Mun)

This is an interesting suburban area that gives you the fresh air to breathe - less traffic. I love this particular place - just like the fishing village and I can see lots of seafood shops and interesting old building.

Was there during a very hot sunny day - this was the day I got severe sunbath :-)

Along the exploration inside the village - you can see lots of seafood shops...
We reached there for about noon time - those shop owners just opened up the shop and busy with the kick-start day to setup.
