Rising
1,500 meters above sea-level on the Titiwangsa mountain
range of Peninsular Malaysia is Fraser's Hill. Named after
a solitary Scottish pioneer, James Fraser, who set up a
tin-ore trading post in the 1890s, it actually consists
of seven hills. Fraser's Hill is truly an idyllic place
for one to rest and to escape from not only the heat and
humidity but also the hustle and bustle of city life. It
is perhaps the prettiest of the Malaysian Hill resorts.

To
get to Fraser's Hill from the Gap, one must go up a narrow, winding,
one-way road for 8 km. Traffic up and down is controlled by a gate
system with uphill traffic limited to odd hours, and downhill traffic
to even hours.
There
are hotels, resorts and chalets available on the hill. Tudor cottages
sit among brilliantly coloured gardens shaded by lofty pine trees.
Fraser's Hill is popular with the locals and foreign
tourists for its greenery, forest walks, fresh air and exotic flower
gardens, not to mention the golfing facilities. It has many attractions
within and around the area. There is a nature education centre where
visitors can learn about the flora and fauna of the area. Bird watching
is a very popular pastime and Fraser's Hill is the venue of the
annual Bird Race which attracts many foreign omithologists.
