Genting Highlands
The Genting Highlands holiday resort has none of the colonial
old world atmosphere of the other hill stations. Its main purpose
is to entertain Kuala Lumpur's more affluent citizens. To this end,
the Genting Highlands resort offers a casino, cable car,
four-hectare (10-acre) artificial lake, 18-storey hotel, theme
parks, horse ranch and a golf course. The hill resort is less than
one hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur and offers a welcome respite
from the city's humidity, standing at 6,562 feet (2,000m) above sea
level. Most Malaysians flock here on holiday to enjoy the vibrant
nightlife of dinner shows, discos and gambling.
