Awana SkyWay (Formerly known as Genting Highlands Premium Outlets Cable Car) is the main aerial route to and from the mountaintop resort area in Genting Highlands, Malaysia. Departing from Awana Central Station on the mountainside, it takes approximately 10 minutes to reach Genting Highlands Station at the summit, climbing over 600 m during the journey. The cable car spans the entire valley, offering views of the pristine tropical rainforest below, said to be over 100 million years old. As the cabins ascend slowly along the mountain ridge, mist often drifts through the sea of trees. On clear days, you can see the layered mountain ranges in the distance, and the temperature at the summit is noticeably cooler than at the base. The cabins come in two types: standard cabins, which are shared with other travelers and have higher capacity, and glass-bottom cabins. Among the over 100 cabins in operation, only about 10 feature transparent floors, allowing direct views of the rainforest and deep valleys below. Those seeking this "floating" experience should plan ahead. The route also includes a stop at Chin Swee Temple Station, where travelers can disembark with the same ticket to visit the hillside Chin Swee Temple and Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda before reboarding to continue the uphill ride—a highlight many travelers miss. The summit station connects directly to the SkyAvenue mall, with attractions like Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park just steps away. Mountain weather is unpredictable, so for clearer views of the expansive landscape, mornings are usually the best time to ride. • Take the Awana SkyWay (Formerly known as Genting Highlands Premium Outlets Cable Car) to enjoy the picturesque view of Genting Highlands and the breathtaking 360° panorama. • Overlook the 130-million-year-old tropical rainforest. • Feel the cool mountain air and enjoy an experience like flying high in the sky. △ Admire the 130-million-year-old tropical rainforest below, with breathtaking views in sight. △ Enjoy an extraordinary journey in the sky.Genting Highlands · 2.4km from downtown

Batu Caves is a cave temple complex formed by limestone hills and is one of the most famous Hindu pilgrimage sites outside of India. This karst cave complex contains over 20 known caves, with the larger Temple Cave housing the Hindu deity of war, Murugan. It is also the central venue for Malaysia's Thaipusam festival, which attracts a large number of Hindu devotees for pilgrimage every year. At the foot of the hill stands a gilded statue of Murugan, approximately 42.7 m high and entirely gold-plated, serving as an iconic landmark of the scenic area. Next to the statue is a colorful rainbow staircase, requiring a climb of 272 steps to reach the cave entrance. Flocks of pigeons often gather on both sides of the stairs, and the plaza is dotted with multiple Hindu statues and colorful decorations. After entering the Temple Cave, walking deep along the towering cave walls, sunlight pours in from natural openings in the cave ceiling, illuminating the rock walls and Hindu shrines, with exquisite statues of Hindu deities distributed throughout the cave. The Cave Villa complex at the foot of the hill consists of the Art Gallery Cave and Museum Cave, displaying statues and murals based on Hindu mythology. To the left of the main staircase is the Ramayana Cave - Suyambu Lingam, with a tall statue of Hanuman standing at the entrance, and murals inside the cave depicting classic scenes from the Indian epic "Ramayana." Stalactites, stalagmites, and other karst geological features can be seen on the cave walls, and the caves are also home to various bats and other cave-dwelling creatures. A rock climbing route has been opened on the northeast side of the hill, attracting many rock climbing enthusiasts to take on the challenge.Batu Caves · 23.9km from Genting Highlands

Genting Highlands is really popular among locals. It is packed with people every weekend and holiday. There are several hotels all over Genting Highlands, including three-star, four-star and five-star hotels. Moreover, the hotel group is very generous and provides free rooms (but certain conditions must be met). This "free" strategy can also attract tourists to come and consume frequently.

Went on a Friday, literally no queue. Very enjoyable but the roller coaster is still not functioning. Otherwise all other rides are fun and i even brought my 66year old mom on the thrill ride. What a memory

Definitely worth the experience and achievement of climbing the stairs. Monkeys are intimidating and although I had no food, one jumped onto my backpack while I was climbing the stairs. Nature inside the cave is lovely.

One of the must-visit places in Kuala Lumpur. The towers are even more impressive in person, especially at night when they are fully illuminated.We also went up to the Skybridge and Observation Deck on the 86th floor. The views over Kuala Lumpur were fantastic, and the whole visit was well organized. I would definitely recommend booking your tickets in advance, as the popular time slots can sell out.If possible, visit around sunset or in the evening so you can also enjoy the towers and KLCC area after dark. Definitely worth experiencing at least once while in Kuala Lumpur.

One of the best memories and most unforgettable experiences! Visiting Aquaria was truly amazing. Seeing the marine life up close, especially the beautiful rays swimming gracefully above us, was such a magical experience. Walking through the underwater tunnel made me feel like I was in another world, surrounded by the beauty of the ocean. Every corner offered something fascinating to see, making the entire visit worthwhile. It’s not just a place to explore, but an experience to remember. Definitely a must-visit, and a memory I will cherish for a long time!

A White Christmas 🎄in MalaysiaWe have been there for uncountable times ever since my daughter was 2 years old. It is a great spot for White Christmas in Malaysia. Feel the coldness atmosphere and insta it. Have some fun with slides, pull/ push each other on the 'snow'. I have no regrets to purchase these photo taken & done up by their in house photoshop although it cost me a bit. It is soooo memorable to us! I pay for at least one photo each time upon our visit 🥰 Sadly they are currently closed due to Covid-19. Hope they open up for this Christmas 2020
