Cameron Highlands
A cool upland district in the northwest corner of Pahang, about 200 km north of Kuala Lumpur. Tea estates roll over its hills, strawberry farms and vegetable plots crowd the valleys, and trails climb into mossy cloud forest.

Fraser's Hill
A small hill station in the Titiwangsa Mountains, about 100 km north of Kuala Lumpur, which began as a tin mining camp opened by Louis James Fraser in 1890. Its stone cottages, clock tower and quiet forest trails draw birdwatchers from around the world.

Genting Highlands
A hill resort around 1,800 metres up Mount Ulu Kali in the Titiwangsa Mountains, straddling the line between Pahang and Selangor. A long cable car climbs through rainforest and cloud to a cool summit of hotels, theme parks and Malaysia's only casino.

Genting SkyWorlds
An 11 hectare theme park at Resorts World Genting, high in the cool mountain air. It was planned as a 20th Century Fox park, and after Disney bought Fox it opened under its own name, keeping some film-themed zones and reworking others.

Tioman Island
A densely forested island 20 km long, lying 39 km off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Seven villages sit along its shores, and the coral reefs around it make it one of the country's favourite places to dive and snorkel.
