Chin Swee Caves Temple is a Taoist temple that’s set on a 28-acre plot of rocky forested land in Genting Highlands, where locals often frequent for religious rituals and enjoy the serene atmosphere. It was erected in honour of Reverend Master Chin Swee, a Buddhist monk from the Fujian Province who was renowned for his ability to summon rain and drive away evil spirits. One of the temple’s most recognised landmarks is a nine-storey Pagoda, which is fitted with images of Buddha and thousands of blessing lamps. Visitors are allowed to climb the steps towards the top of the pagoda, where they are greeted with panoramic views of the mountain. Within the temple grounds are gigantic statues of Buddha and Kuan Yin, as well as intricate sculptures of animals and inscriptions of ancient Chinese traditions and beliefs. Visitor can see this temple from the cable car on the way to the top.
Gunung Bunga Buah is a mountain in Gohtong Jaya, a satellite town of Genting Highlands about 40km away from Kuala Lumpur. At 1,430m, it offers a moderate one to two hour climb as the trail itself starts high up in elevation, Gohtong Jaya being approximately 900m. Popular with visitors from the Klang Valley due to its easy accessibly by highway, the entry point can be found at the lone farm behind Gohtong Jaya's stretch of shophouses. The path is located on a steep slope facing some vegetable patches; ask the locals around for directions if you're not sure. A steep but short muddy ascent later and you will find yourself on the old trunk road to Genting. Visitor can see this mountain from the cable car on the way to the top.
Known as the first hilltop Premium Outlet Centre in Southeast Asia, there are about 150 internationally-renowned brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Superdry, Aigner, Coach, Furla, Hugo Boss, Michael Kors, Moschino, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Kate Spade New York. Located just opposite the Awana Skyway, guest can shopping around while waiting for cable car.
Genting Skyway is one of the two cable car systems serving Genting Highlands, travelling between Gohtong Jaya and the peak of the highlands. While Awana Skyway serves as the main method of transportation, Genting Skyway operates when the former undergoes maintenance and during busy periods, such as weekends and public or school holidays.

We had a very enjoyable day trip to Genting Highlands, and everything was smooth and well organized from start to finish. Our driver, Mr. Kumar, was punctual, friendly, and drove very safely throughout the journey. The highlight of the tour was definitely the scenic cable car ride on the Awana SkyWay, which offered beautiful views of the rainforest and mountains. It was a great experience and something we would highly recommend. Mr. Kumar made the trip comfortable and stress-free, making sure we had clear instructions and enough time to enjoy the different stops during the day. We appreciated his professionalism and kindness. Overall, this was a fantastic way to visit Genting Highlands and escape the city for a day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur.
Great day trip! The ride up to Genting Highlands was smooth, the guide was friendly, and the cable car views were incredible. Plenty of time to explore, relax, and enjoy the cool mountain weather. A fun, easy escape from KL, highly recommended.
Great trip if you want to focus on shopping but we wanted to see more scenery. The gondola was great

Albinhar bin Mohd fikal was my driver for the day. He was professional and very informative and everything in Malaysia. This made my experience so memorable. I had the best day and will definitely book with him again. The cable cars are a must see even perfect for a family. The shopping mall and them park were next level.
Good experience to be try out in kuaka lumpur . Our driver Albinhar was quite professional and diligence with the requested services Recommended
The experience was very beautiful and driver was so friendly, This experience worth if you want to escape from the hot climate in the city.
It was an amazing experience. Our captain Saravanan and guide William kept the entire tour engaging. Overall it was a smooth and fun journey!!
A ride to remember for ever. I am amazed at how efficient this acitivity is, we stood in a small line that moved so fast to the cable car, went half way up and got out to go see the Chinese temple, escalators everywhere in the middle of nowhere on a mountain so high up, u got to see it to beleive it, and the temple is magnificent, do not miss this highlight of Maylasia, then back up to the cart to the theme park, u go right into the clouds, it's like a dream, u believable that you can be so high up, and up there is theme parks, shops and food, coming down is quite an adventure, because u so high up and it goes fast but amazing, come down and it's retail shops all branded with discount prices. Amazing experience
The place is definitely an engineering marvel. Nice place to be. The shrine is a must to see before the resort.
I did not recommend this ride as it is not as per the expectation it’s like cab service not a tour..
