The Icons Of Cameron Highlands.

The Alurement of  Cameron Highlands



When the words Cameron Highlands strike your mind, what is the first icon come to your mind?  Flowers.  Strawberry.  Tea.  Highland,  The winding road.  The cool temperature.


Cameron Highlands is a district in The States of Pahang  in Malaysia.  There are five major towns in Cameron Highlands located at 1.100 meter to 1600 meter above sea level.




It is about 60 km from my house. Because of the steep and winding road , the driving time to Cameron Highlands took me more than one hour.






The first town in Cameron Highlands from my house is Ringlet,  Here the the beginning of Cameron Highlands attraction items such as fresh vegetable,fruits,flowers and souvenirs are sold.  I  can feel the cool temperature.



Before arriving at the administrative town , Tanah Rata, the first astonishing view is  the vast tea plantation.





I have chance to visit the tea factory.  Here I come to know what is green tea, brown tea, Oolong tea and the how tea is produced and processed.


After the concise briefing I took a rest at the Tea Kiosk.



  Have you tried the honey ginger tea.  It is very nice to be taken in  the  cool weather.


The popular proverb  here is Anytime is Tea Time.


Packaging the tea is according to market demand.  There are many fruits flavored tea.



You can buy strawberry flavored tea or fresh strawberry.  So do you remember Cameron Highlands for it's tea or strawberry.

Magnificent Paris Seine River Cruise.

The Unforgettable Boat Cruise.

If you visited Paris you must go to see the Eiffel Tower.  That is very common thing to do.  But another thing you must not avoid is the fascinating boat cruise.  The Paris Seine River Cruise.


You can see the prestigious monuments of France from the boat rides.


I was in Paris six weeks earlier then the heinous attacks on Paris took place,






The iconic bridge Pant -Neuf.



From the boat cruise you can see many architectural wonders such as Louvre Meseum,, Hotel de Ville, Musee d'Orsay and Place de la Concorde.


The famous Catheral Notre-Dame.



  A pleasant evening with my wife.



My sister-in -law too on the enchanting Paris Seine River Cruise.


Of course the well known Eiffel Tower is clearly on sight.


The windy and breezy weather is very conducive in the twilight evening.




These prestigious monuments along the Seine River is The UNESCO World Heritage Site.
