- We visited the popular getaway from Kuala Lumpur: Genting Highlands!
We left the city for an overnight to visit a theme park in the clouds, a chinese temple and a peek into what the mountains of Malaysia look like.
We have heard mixed reviews of Genting Highlands. Some describe it as a tourist trap, others highly recommend it to visit with kids!

Genting Highlands is the go-to place for the locals if they want to cool down or to enjoy the entertainment centre in the clouds. It's also a place to go food hunting if you know your way around. By the way, it looks like everyone had a great time there, which is well.... priceless! 😊
We had such a wonderful time! I was considering not going at all, I'm so happy that we did. I can see why locals recommend it!
@NewFoundLands Ya, I did recommend this spot in one of your previous vlogs. I'm glad you and your family liked it!😄
Genting resort world is place for family vacantion.
This was a totally worth it day trip / overnight trip from KL if any families are considering it
I imagine the fingerprint entry/exit is also intended to prevent child abductions and runaways. very thoughtful.
They didn't fingerprint us on the way out, just in! The extra security certainly does not hurt!
You should go to Cameron Highlands next and Perhentian Islands !
That's on the list next time we go to Malaysia! Thank you!
Hahaha..temperature at GH is a bit cooler..good escape from the heat..i love it..
I liked the weather! What a nice break from the heat
Well your travels are really wonderful! Great job editing Jenny. Look like a great tourist attraction.The children will have great memories.
Thanks Marg!
What an awesome video! I follow lots of travel channels, and New Found Lands is certainly one of the best!!!! You guys are so enthusiastic, and I love your attention to detail! I love seeing how excited the kids are! Awesome job! Can't wait for the next video!
🥰😍 thanks Rose! This one took me way too long 😆
Hi. Genting highlands is 1.8km high from sea level (over a mile high). More often than not you are in or surrounded by the clouds.
When it rained though, there would be fog which will make visibility super low.. like 1 to 2 metres only. Clouds come from the sky, fog from around the trees. Hope you did have fun.
Remember, you were in the clouds.
We remarked on being in the clouds a few times during the day. It was different from fog! I really enjoyed the weather! I wish we had brought rain coats though. It was a very cool experience!
That was cool hotel room! Kids must've loved it....
It really was! It's hard to find hotel rooms with enough space for everyone without breaking the bank. They had a lot of fun and we were really pleased!
Instant subs . Love 🇲🇾❤️
Thanks!
Ang ganda ng lugar enjoy sis sa pamamasyal salamat sa pagbahagi samin ng magagandang pasyalan
Really good to see that you and your family have had a good time at Genting Highlands.
Yes, thank you!
Malaysia has many hill stations. The oldest is penang hill from 18th century. 1789.
Others are fraser's Hill, Cameron highlands, maxwell hill.
Genting is the newer one. Mostly it is not fog you saw, rather clouds
Yeah it's quite expensive to buy food and other stuff there because of the transport cost to bring them up the highlands is high, so it's understandable..😅😅
So yeah, bring your own whenever possible 😂😂
The cable car ride is beautiful if it is a clear day, you can see the wonderful natural scenery there..
I would absolutely do it again and try to hit a clear day. It was so wonderful on a cloudy day, a clear day would be incredible
@NewFoundLands yeah, I've been up there on a clear day.. it was absolutely magical.. cool and comfortable
The outdoor theme park is just too expensive for most locals. It is unfortunate you did not book online which can save you plenty of ringgit. The money can be spent on culinary experience for your family(food)
Genting was built by a man's vision. He was named Mr lim goh tong. He passed away several years ago. It was built in the 1960s. There were more trees back then in 1970s 1980s. Virgin jungle.
Mr lim and his friends tracked up the jungle and spent a night at nearby chin swee and decided to build a temple there.
He successfully obtained a gambling license for a casino. Malaysia's one and only casino.
Thank you for this history!! That's so interesting. Thar must have been something else back then! It was really a cool experience going up into the jungle and then staying there. I am really happy we went
@@NewFoundLands fun fact. He only started genting when he was 50 plus years old.
Nice vlogs guys...subscribed..😇👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good vid
Thank you 😊
The familiar route to another site of entertainment.
4:35 A Wild Jeannie Appears
7:00 It's great that with a fingerprint you can come in and out of the park, but what about Interpol, won't they be able to track you down now?
The highlands look wonderful!
We've been fingerprinted so much lately that I think interpol would like a little less info on us 😆
Ofcause,it’s takes a crazy founder TS Lim creating this unbelievable dream of his.
You were wondering why the bottled drink is Kickapoo Joy Juice. If you are American, you may know of an American comic strip called Ll’l Abner who was a hillbilly (1934-1977). In the comic strip, Kickapoo was moonshine. You got the Malaysian version
Ah cute! We are Canadian but I suspect my parents might be familiar with it. I'll ask them 😆
Wow very happy family
Yes we are! Thanks :)
Wow welcome to kl🇲🇾🎉🎉🎉👍
Thank you!
You may want to check this nearby place to Genting called Janda Baik. It's a lovely place.
Next time, thank you!
Yeah, very glad that u guys very enjoyable at this trip
I’m Malaysian n me n family used to be there 😊
Thanks! 😃 It is a beautiful country with wonderful people!
People should stop feeding the monkeys and trashing the nature. Same as batu caves. Let the Monkeys find their own food.
Couldn't agree with you more! -Dom
@NewFoundLands look at that car, just throw food outside the car to feed the monkeys. Respect nature. Stop trashing the roads. Langkawi island too
Correct. We are making the monkeys dependant to humans and angry when they didn't get food
Foreigners from temperate countries normally do not appreciate places like Genting. For KL people thats the go to place to have a change in climate. The fog the tempreture we love it because we dont have snow.
I enjoyed it very much! It felt like home. I needed a break from the heat. I can see why locals enjoy it!
wow, the bathroom. one person can shower, another can do no 1 or no 2 & the other two can brush their teeth at the sinks.
Incredibly efficient! Hahahaha
You should try to take the cable car, the view are quite nice up there.
We did, it was lovely!
Monkey in malaysia had the most happier life... 😊😊😊
🤗🤗🤗👍👍TQ,,WELCOME MSIA SIMPLE LIFE
🐒🐒💕💕
🥰
What is important for us as parents is to give happiness and fun to our children. Children's happiness cannot be valued with money
You need to check the weather before traveling to Malaysia, it rains a lot here, i love Genting, go there at least once a month
I can see why! What a beautiful way to escape the heat :)
Kickapoo is a US brand from the 50's originally started as an alcoholic beverage
I loved Kickapoo. I used to drink it as a child in 1980s Singapore.
Ah, interesting! I grew up in eastern Canada, maybe my parents would know.
Welcome To Genting Highlands "The Las Vegas in South East Asia"
Thank you! We loved it!
Its not foggy. You are in the cloud. GH is 1,8 km above sea level.😂😂
@newfoundlands,did you leave from the mall back to town? U didn't have to go back to ur hotel room?
We checked out of our hotel room! Since we only went for a night, we only had backpacks. We still had an airbnb in KL with all our luggage.
What is the hotel name? It looks nice
Thank you for the poncho tips.
One of the best Genting video I’ve watched 👍🏼
Thank you! It was Genting Skyworld Hotel.
Roti canai is pronounced as "CHanai"...C in malay is never pronounced as K
Thank you!!
@@isnirashid9221 is this supposed to be a joke..coz itsnt funny
Correct . Like how Italians say cinquecento. Or seicento. Or lancia?
I've got a question
Do we have to stay the night ? Like is it not doable to go early and come back to the city center after we're done ?
Absolutely! The cab ride was a little less than an hour
@@NewFoundLands did you use grab? And how much did the ride cost?
@@imeneaitdahmane611 yes we used grab. It was 100RM /$21USD one way from Bukit Bintang in KL to our hotel in Genting highlands
@@NewFoundLands thanks a lot
@newfoundlands did U leave Gentin from the mall back to town? U didn't have to back up to the park? Please advise
I don't know why people bother to go to Genting. It is overated and the weather is always terrible.
better go to gunung jerai than this place... take a train from kl central to gurun... gunung jerai near gurun
Maybe next time!
You look like Alizee 😅
J'en ai marre!
Please do not feed the wild animals.. just stop and stare.. 😮
