Trip to Bukit Tinggi (Berjaya Hills)

This was my second trip to Bukit Tinggi Resort, which is now known as Berjaya Hills. My first trip was 5 years ago which was quite memorable. However, we did not manage to take any photo during the first trip due to faulty camera. This time was a chance to shoot whatever we had missed out. Furthermore there were supposed to be new attractions since we last went as there were still some on-going development during our first trip which appeared to be none!.



It took us about 7 hours ride from Penang to reach Berjaya Hills inclusive of stops for breakfast at AutoCity, lunch in Ipoh, few rest stops along the way, many cars in highway, heavy rain, lost in Sg Buloh area etc... Since we reached there quite late, we only manage to visit the french village and ate dinner at one of the restaurant there as well. There's French Castle nearby but it is closed for public due to some "private event" which makes us very disappointed.

No longer an ugly duckling



The next morning, we left for Japanese Garden & Botanical Garden. The landscaping and scenaries were breathtaking. The old folks that travels with us was unable to enjoy the track much due to their wobbly legs. Luckily we took some video of the scenaries so that they can watch it when we get back.



Our final stop was the Rabbit farm. The rabbits had reduced tremendously since we first went there, and the place for feeding petting was partitioned into one small area. We suspect it could be due to the unbearable torture that the rabbits had to endure from children that we had seen during our first trip (pulling the ear, swinging & throwing the rabbit here & there...). It was a shame that the Rabbit farm was reduced in such a state, else it would be a nice place for families to enjoy themselves, just that we need to ban all those "naughty" children.
