Category — My Malaysia Trip

Final post on Belum… it is just to show you the wide road with a lot of trees by the road side… and the highway is totally different from North-South highway … it was very quiet and calm… not much of cars on the road…

It is really great to travel on a quiet road and seeing all the outskirt's view which we city people can hardly see... can't even see much of the green in Singapore...

Anyway, it took us 5hours plus to reach KL from Belum... Although it was a tiring drive, but it was a memorable trip... at least I know I won't be going back Belum anytime soon! haha ^.^

The packaged we bought inclusive of a round island 45min tour...

It's just a simple round island tour which has nothing to see... it's seeing green and water only..

The whole boat has only less than 10 of us... well.. I guess it's normal as they didn't really make use of the round island tour... there wasn't any explanation during the round island tour...

The best view of this tour was seeing the two connection bridge from west to east....

And I overheard the person who drove the boat told a bunch of malay people that this man-made island wasn't an island previously...

There actually people living at the bottom of the river - the communist and the orang Asli....This place of Temenggor lowlands before Temenggor Lake was built used to be a place which was rich in food source and water supply attracted the communist moved into the area....

but after that the prime minister of that time decided to flushed out the communist and built a dam at this place and it was called Temenggor Lake later on...

As a result, the highest peak in Temenggor - Banding was formed into an Island...

Pulau Banding is the only Island in Malaysia that linked with two bridges from the mainland...

As for the communist that were flushed out, they were forced to flea to southern Thailand..

You can view the origins of Pulau Banding here.

There goes my day tour round the island....

I didn’t take the pictures of the night tracking.. cuz the guide actually brought us into the woods and the road was quite small and sloppy.. I nearly fell off at 1 point.. lucky friend was behind me.. else.. I might ended up in the hospital  >.<

After the night tracking, we went for the only bar in the resort to have a drink... ^^
