Cameron Highlands: It’s all about flowers, butterflies, strawberries and vegetables

If you are a nature lover, then you will definitely love Cameron Highlands. Besides tea farm, Cameron Highlands do have more to offer to the tourists. Because of its cold weather, you can find many other kinds of flowers and plants which are rare in the cities.

Whenever I visited Cameron Highlands during holidays, I can see many city folks looking at those weird but beautiful flowers and went “uuu… ahhh…”

uuu... ahhh... vegetables...

It was funny to see that kind of face but I when I think back the moment when I first set foot in Cameron Highlands, I had that kind of face as well.

Cameron Highlands is a very peaceful place to be in, in fact, I even thought of moving there after I retired. Many retired Japanese chose to stay in Cameron Highlands under the Malaysia My Second Home program by the government so when you walk around in town you can spot a lot of Japanese.

There are many tourists destinations in Cameron Highlands but most of them are basically the same. Almost all the tourists spots are full of flowers, strawberries and vegetables. Although it’s almost the same, but you can find it relaxing and interesting to see those beautiful things in a cooler environment.

Even cactus look nice there

Maybe the flowers there were planted by professionals, or I never see beautiful flowers in my entire life, when I went there I couldn’t stop myself from taking photos of those beautiful plants.

Lavenders

The flowers there were so perfect and beautiful, at one point I even thought they were fake flowers from China.

Malaysians are too poor to buy a piece of paper

But too bad some of the plants were attacked by some inconsiderate humans. Vandalism on plants, only in Malaysia.

Cameron Highlands is also the home for many species of butterflies. In Butterfly Farm, you can find many species of butterflies flying around you.

It's hard to capture the photos of butterflies, they'll fly away when you are too near

A bisexual butterfly, weird huh?

Sometimes some tame butterflies will stop on your shoulders or on your hands.

A strawberry farm

Strawberry farm is also one of the reasons why people come to Cameron Highlands. The weather there is very suitable to grow strawberries so everywhere you go you can find strawberries, or some other things related to strawberries…

Strawberry bags, strawberry clothes, strawberry shoes, strawberry pillows... you name it.

Cameron Highlands is a nice place if you want to get off the work or study pressure. The average temperature there is on a rise due to the world climate change, the vast commercializing of tea, strawberries and vegetables business also add up to the heat. I hope that our beloved government can do something about it. And for us tiny little citizens, go there and enjoy the cool breeze before all the developments begin.

When you had enough of flowers, you can always go feed those hungry fishes

After posting so many photos of flowers and butterflies, I feel so gay right now. I must do something “man” before it’s too late. Time to surf some “manly” websites now.
