Genting Highlands is approximately 90 minutes by car from Kuala Lumpur, high in the Titiwangsa Mountains. It was established in 1965 by a Malaysian businessman. The main tourist attraction is Resorts World, a hill resort with casinos and theme parks. Our hotel was located at the lower part of the mountains so we took the cable car to the top of the mountain and visited Resorts World. The cable trip up the mountain is quite amazing and well worth the trip for the view and to visit the Chin Swee Caves Temple half way up the mountain. We were, however, not too keen on Resorts World as it seems out of character with the surrounding area.
