Chin Swee Temple in Genting Highlands is one of the most breathtaking attractions in Malaysia, combining spiritual charm with spectacular natural surroundings. Perched high on the mountain, the temple offers panoramic views that are simply unforgettable. When we visited, the misty and foggy mountain air created a mystical atmosphere, making the experience feel almost otherworldly. The temple complex is beautifully designed, blending traditional Chinese architecture with modern construction that ensures comfort and accessibility for visitors. One of the highlights is reaching the temple via the Genting Skyway cable car. The ride itself is an adventure, gliding above lush forests and steep valleys before arriving at the temple grounds. The aerial views were stunning and set the tone perfectly for the visit. Stepping off the cable car, we were greeted with serene courtyards, intricate statues, and peaceful prayer halls that invite both reflection and admiration. Walking around the temple, every corner felt photogenic, from the towering pagoda to the statues depicting Buddhist teachings. The cool mountain breeze and shifting fog added a layer of calm and beauty, making it a place where you could easily spend hours soaking in the atmosphere. Chin Swee Temple is not only a spiritual landmark but also an architectural and cultural treasure. For anyone visiting Genting Highlands, it is an absolute must-see.
Such a peaceful and breathtaking spot in Genting Highlands! 🌿✨ The temple is surrounded by misty mountains, giving it a magical and calming atmosphere. The view from here is absolutely stunning, and every corner feels sacred and serene. Perfect place to take photos, relax, and reflect before heading up to the top of Genting. Don’t miss the pagoda and the giant Buddha statue — truly beautiful! 🙏💛
A must-visit gem in Genting Highlands! Chin Swee Caves Temple is one of the most peaceful and scenic spots in the highlands. The temple sits high up the mountain, surrounded by mist and lush greenery, giving it a calm and spiritual atmosphere. The traditional Chinese architecture, colorful pagoda, and intricate statues are absolutely beautiful — perfect for photos and reflection. Entry is free, and you can easily reach the temple via the Awana SkyWay cable car, which stops right at the temple level. There’s a small café and a few stalls nearby, but the main attraction is the view — especially when the clouds clear and you can see the valleys below. Do wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket, as it can get quite chilly and there are several stairs to climb. It’s a wonderful place for both tourists and those seeking a quiet moment of peace. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Genting!
This place is very scenic. We visited the place after getting down from the cable car in between. Since they have escalators to go this place it was very convenient. Beautiful surrounding. You have limited options of snacks and ice creams in case you want to try one. Overall a wonderful experience and you can visit this place for free in case you are travelling on the cable car to Genting.
A peaceful and serene retreat above the clouds - the atmosphere is calm with a magnificent open floor overlooking a grand Buddha statue that inspires quiet reflection. The temple’s intricate architecture and scenic mountain backdrop make it a perfect spot to unwind and take in the beauty of nature. There are also convenient kiosks and probably a small restaurant nearby.
Must visit. Very Cool temple with an authentic vibe. On the way to genting highlands. Some guides may discourage telling that the return cable cars may be full. But it is possible to get seats. We had to wait only 5-10 mins to get a cable car with enough seating on the return trip. Try to visit in evening so that you get the cool breeze. Lots of cool pathways to explore on the mountain side, as part of the journey to enlightemnment walkway. Highly photogenic areas. Breathtaking views.
One of the most peaceful and beautiful places in Malaysia! I’ve visited Chin Swee Caves Temple many times — the drive up is always amazing, with cool weather and stunning mountain views. The temple is calm, spiritual, and surrounded by breathtaking scenery. A perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful vibes above the clouds. 🌿🏯☁️
This is such a beautiful and peaceful place surrounded by nature—perfect for a relaxing escape from the busy city. The atmosphere is calm and refreshing, especially with the cool mountain air. There are a few small shops around where you can grab a hot drink, which feels amazing in the chilly weather. The temple itself is well-maintained, always clean, and you can see that regular repairs and care are done to preserve its beauty and spiritual atmosphere. Whether you're coming for the cultural experience, the scenery, or just to take a peaceful walk, this place is definitely worth visiting. Without a doubt, if I return to Malaysia again as a tourist, this will be one of the top places on my list to visit. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys nature, culture, and a calm spiritual vibe.

Slide 1 of 8
A must visit if you are going to Genting with your kids. It gives a great experience with snow and the views are definitely attractive and can take plenty of pictures. When you go to Genting, quickly go and book a time slot and buy tickets, else it will be crowded. They provide your with all the winter materials so there is nothing to worry. They heat them and probably clean them before lending it to another person. There are photographers who will take pictures of you and you will have to pay and get them Framed at the counter. When you get to Genting, it's very hard to find the snow world. There are no signs at all for you to find it, and the signs appear only when you are close by. You will definitely have to ask around and find the place. And it is very far from the cable car entrance, so make sure you leave sufficient time for that as well. We actually ahd to run back and get the cable car because our time schedule was very tight. About snow world : the ticket is very expensive but its worth if you haven't experienced snow before. They give you 30 mins inside the room and ask you to leave. They provide lockers to leave your items there. It is big enough to fill a normal backpack. (the locker is free). They provide all the winter clothes: boots jackets gloves etc.
A place to experience sub zero temperature at Malaysia. It's cold here abt -7°C so please wear appropriate outfit before entering although sweater been given. Thick socks and extra hood may help you stay longer there.
This attraction is still closed for maintenance. It has been closed for a long time from what I gathered. Hugely disappointed to know it was still closed when I got there.
A snow park located in genting highland, good place to visit for people who didn't visit any of this kind. But for me I have visited 3 of them in India. One in hyderabad, Bangalore and Goa. So I didn't find much of a difference and more over liked them better than this one.
Snow world located at getting highlands resort, one of the must visit place if you are at gentings... Warm jackets, lockers are provided by the staff which is included in tickets.. -7° temperature is maintained in the place to give us a authentic snow country feel... It was quite an amazing experience...
It was -7 degree when I entered with my cousins, age 10 and 12 respectively. They have never been to countries with winter season, so it has been a great experience for them. They enjoyed the mini sleigh. This will need an adult to help to pull it for the kids. They do have the huge slide which require us to sit on the blue tyre. I slide down pretty fast, making several turns. Great for photo taking if you can withstand the ultimate coldness. We couldn't last for the full hour session. Left after 30minutes as it was too cold.
Worth going if you’re in Genting but be prepared to lose a lot of $$$. Entry is RM40 per adult (Malaysian). For RM40 you get a 30 min entry time to the Snow World and there’ll be two photographers to take pictures for you (that you can buy later). To be fair, we did enjoy our time there as it really was a different world. Don’t underestimate the cold, it’s really cold. -5 degrees Celsius during our visit. I brought my own jacket and gloves, however they still needed me to wear their boots. If you are wearing sports shoes they’ll let you in. However, all the items can be rented. It was a fun short time in the snow area, I also rode the slide once. It was pretty thrilling! Wish they gave us more time... The pictures taken by the photographers turned out really well. If you want a digital copy, it’s gonna cost you... RM150. If you want some printed options they start at RM50 (per picture) and up to RM200+++ (depending on what configuration you want i.e in a book, in a leather frame, etc). In conclusion, worth going once!
Best place for people of all ages. The rides are amusing and decorations is at top. You can find all the facilities in here 😊

Slide 1 of 8
The Genting Highlands Cable Car ride is an absolute must-do experience in Malaysia! The journey offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lush rainforest and rolling hills below. The cabins are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with options for glass-floor gondolas that make the ride even more thrilling. It’s a smooth and scenic trip that adds a magical touch to visiting Genting. Efficiently operated with minimal waiting time, this cable car ride is not just a mode of transport—it’s part of the adventure. Perfect for families, couples, and tourists alike.
I went with my family on a weekend, and as expected there was a huge crowd. Luckily, I had purchased the express ticket online, which saved us a lot of time since we could directly board without standing in the long queues. For regular tickets, the waiting time was really high. The cable car ride itself takes about 5 minutes, but the experience was completely worth it. The views from above were simply breathtaking lush green mountains, cool breeze, and the feeling of gliding above the clouds. Since this was my first time on a cable car, it felt extra special and memorable. Overall, a smooth, scenic, and enjoyable ride for the whole family. Definitely worth the money paid, especially if you choose the express ticket option on busy days.
We visited on an October weekend, which is the off-season, so the crowd was comparatively less. We purchased our tickets at the venue instead of online — the price was about Rs. 50 less per person, not a huge difference, but at least it wasn’t more expensive. However, it’s better to buy tickets in advance if you’re visiting during the peak tourist season, typically from November to June. The return trip was quite packed, as most visitors leave around 6 PM when the outdoor theme park closes. The queue moved quickly, though it still took about 40 minutes to get to the cable car. Overall, the system was efficiently managed and offered great value at a very reasonable cost of RM 19 for a two-way journey (around ₹395).
The Awana SkyWay cable car is one of the best ways to reach Genting Highlands! 🚠 The ride is smooth, scenic, and comfortable, offering breathtaking views of the rainforest and mountains. The glass-floor gondola is definitely worth trying if you want an even more amazing experience. The queue can get long during weekends and holidays, but it moves quite fast. The staff are helpful and organized, making the boarding process easy. The mid-station stop at Chin Swee Temple is a nice touch — you can get off, explore the beautiful temple, and continue your journey up. Everything is well-maintained, and the ticket prices are reasonable considering the views and convenience. Overall, a must-do attraction when visiting Genting Highlands!
🚠 Awana SkyWay – The Most Scenic Ride to Genting Highlands 🌤️ The Awana SkyWay was honestly one of the highlights of our Genting trip! 😍 It’s not just transportation — it’s a full-on experience with the most breathtaking views of the mountains and rainforest below. 🌄 The Ride The cable car ride is smooth and peaceful, taking about 10 minutes from the Awana Station up to the Genting Highlands. The scenery along the way is absolutely stunning — lush green hills, misty clouds, and the cool mountain breeze. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the temples and waterfalls below! 🛍️ Convenience The station is connected to Awana SkyCentral, where you’ll find shops, food outlets, and access to Genting Premium Outlet — perfect for a shopping + adventure combo. The line moves fast, and tickets are easy to buy at the counter or vending machines. 💡 Tips • Go early morning or sunset for the best views 🌅 • Bring a light jacket — it gets chilly up there! 🧥 • Keep your phone/camera ready for those cloud shots ☁️ ⭐ Overall Rating: 10/10 Awana SkyWay is the perfect mix of scenic, smooth, and fun — a must-try for anyone visiting Genting Highlands. It’s more than just a ride; it’s a memory with a view 💕

Wonderful Escape to Genteng Heights! ​My visit to Genteng Heights was fantastic, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing getaway. ​The weather was incredibly pleasant—cool, crisp, and a perfect break from the city heat. It made walking around and enjoying the scenery so relaxing. ​
The place was very crowded with people going to Genting Highlands but managed to buy ticket in 20mins. Due to the huge crowd of 200-300 people waiting in queue, I decided to spend an extra 6 Ringgit each and purchased the express boarding ticket at RM17 each. Then I proceeded to the express boarding lane, effectively "jumped queue" over the huge crowd of a few hundred people and board a cable car with my buddy in less than 5mins. Ride was smooth and plenty of sightseeing. The climb uphill is very steep and I think it more exhilarating if it's on the way down. It's nice cable ride and seeing everything engulfed by clouds is nice. Price is affordable at RM 17 for one trip. I take it for once the experience and likely will not do so again in future.

Slide 1 of 8
For the entrance fee RM20 adult and RM15 kids, I think this place is worth visiting. For those from KL, it is nearer to come here than heading to Cameron Highlands. Free parking on the roadside. With shopping stalls and eateries overall this place is enjoyable, and they have decent toilets. Especially those who love flowers. Come early when the temperature is not hot. Felt the heat when noon heat strikes. Picking strawberries was sure fun. If they were to offer selling plants like strawberry or grape, I sure will be interested. Like the fact they don't pressure you to buy stuff or take photos.
Entrance fee RM20 per adult. Worth the visit for ppl who love nature and plants. Well maintain nursery and fresh strawberries pick at RM8 per 100g. Staff were very friendly too.
The entrance fee for me is quite expensive. rm 20 for adults. kinda not worth it for me because there aren't many fun activities to do here. Can only see the flower field. When going to a strawberry farm, there are not many red and large strawberries. but you can still pick it at the price of rm8/gram. There is also a small cafe to enjoy drinks and snacks, a honey shop and a gift shop. There is a service for photographers to take pictures as memories in front of the flower field. To me this is just a normal strawberry and flower field and doesn't really appeal to me. In addition, staff and workers need to be trained to be more friendly especially at the counter selling souvenirs or Cameron tea.
Ticket price is slightly expensive to me, RM20 for adult and 15 for kids, and this is only for seeing the flowers. If you want anything extra like picking strawberry need to pay separately. A family of 4 will cost 70 just like that. The farm is big and Flower wise there are a few varieties and only that few varieties in the whole farm. The varieties keep repeating in different part of the farm. If you decided to pluck strawberry, the price today was 80/kg. They sold packed strawberry too but I’m not sure if they are from their own farm or not. They also sell honey, lavender made stuff like lotion, perfume, air freshener etc. there’s a cafe and many other stalls along the way near the end of the exit. All in all, not a bad place and if the price could be cheaper it will be better.
Its a beautiful place if you love the flora and fauna because all you see here is flowers, plants and strawberry farms. The best part is picking your own fresh strawberries which you can purchase. The entrance ticket for this park is a bit expensive according to me, but the experience is good, specially if you are interested in taking pictures. There are also 2 photo booths, where they take family pictures as well as pictures with chinese or local costumes. Some small shops selling coffee, perfume, honey, strawberries and food stall is available.
We spent a lovely day in this beautiful place surrounded by blooming flowers and fresh strawberries. The entrance fee is RM15 per person. The best part is we get to pick the strawberries by ourselves for RM8 per 100g. If you get a bit thirsty or even hungry from strolling around, you can stop by their cafe. Their food and beverages have decent taste and price as well. The only downside is that most strawberries we picked have worms inside. It was a lot of waste because we ended up throwing half of them.
A must stop if you go to Genting Highland. Reasonable entrance fee. Enjoy the experience of picking your own strawberries. The strawberries are quite small although they are red and taste a bit sour. There are also grapes imported from the USA and other countries for sale. So many places for OOTD and takes pictures. Come early when it opens to avoid crowds. Highly recommended to come.
Genting Strawberry Leisure Farms at GohTong Jaya. The flower farm is very beautiful and colourful, ideal for those who enjoy taking photos. You can pluck strawberries for RM8 per 100gm or buy pre-packed ones. Thankfully, we were able to pick some strawberries this time. There are fewer crowds today.

We dropped by at the Premium Outlets to scout for some sport shoes & casual shorts before proceeding to check into Grand Ion Delemen Hotel. Almost all designer brands for sportswear, fashion & accessories, and watches are available. You'll be spoilt for choice. Most outlets will offer some discount in one way or another to attract the crowd. We're surprised that today is "crowd free". As we were in a hurry we managed to buy some shorts. As for shoes, we couldn't decide on the many offers! Perhaps in our next trip. The scenery from here is breathtaking. You can see the cable car passing by. The Pagoda of the Chin Swee Caves Temple is also visible at a far distant. So beautiful on today's cloudy weather! We're looking forward to drop by at the temple on our way home.
Genting Highlands Outlets is a great shopping destination. Unlike a typical mall this is designed as a street with near pavements. The weather is great for walking around. The destination is in multiple levels, most of brands are there with amazing offers. There are also food counters. Overall a must visit place when you are in Genting.
Cool breeze, and retail therapy with a view. Genting Highlands Premium Outlets never disappoints. Plenty of brands, decent cafés, and way cooler than city outlets. Best to come early or late afternoon for that mountain chill
Escape to the Clouds ☁️ Trading city heat for mountain mist at Genting Premium Outlets. There's something magical about sipping coffee while fog rolls through jungle-covered peaks—retail therapy with a view hits different when you're surrounded by all this green. The perfect pit stop when KL gets too humid. Cool air, misty mountains, and that satisfying feeling of finding a good deal. Sometimes the best getaways are just an hour up the hill. 📍 Genting Premium Outlets, Malaysia
Great price for shopping.. We went all out to shop here. Place a re nice, weather are kept changing. Cool but sun is scorching. A must when you visit Genting highland in Malaysia.
This is at the base of genting highlands where busses n taxi cars are available. Mall had good offers when we went . More than 100 shops are there. Good Food options available. Rope way is from this place only - Alana avenue
Great outlet mall experience in the cool highlands! Lots of premium brands like Coach, Nike, and Michael Kors with decent discounts, especially during sales. The open-air layout is refreshing and scenic—great for a stroll. Gets very crowded on weekends, so weekdays are better. Food court is okay but nothing fancy. Easy to reach via cable car, but getting a Grab back can be tricky—plan ahead. Worth a visit if you’re in Genting!
This shopping outlet is one of the largest in Malaysia. It has many brand names stores covering fashion, luxury, sports, food and many more. You can see shoppers from all countries who came here to shop. The price can be attractive if there were promotion.
