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 · 2.4 km 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 · 23.9 km from Genting Highlands

My experience at Genting SkyWorlds was really fun and memorable. There were so many exciting rides and attractions to explore, and I especially enjoyed the thrilling rides and beautiful surroundings. The weather was also nice and cool, which made the whole experience even better. Although some rides had long waiting times, it was still worth it. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely love to visit Genting SkyWorlds again.

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.

We visited with our family on a Monday, which was also a working and school day, so there was hardly any queue. The ride was amazing and really enjoyable! The staff were professional, friendly, and helpful throughout the experience. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend visiting, especially on a weekday if you want to avoid the crowds.

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.

Visiting the Petronas Towers requires advance booking. You'll queue on the first floor to take the elevator together, but it's not crowded and the experience is quite pleasant. You can reach two floors: first, the area connecting the two towers on the 40+ floor, where staff will leave at a set time; then, take the elevator directly to the 86th floor.

It was great! Kuala Lumpur doesn't have many amusement rides, so a sightseeing bus tour is a good alternative. 🥰 After arriving at the starting station, just queue for the bus and show your electronic verification code to the staff. Note that boarding time is 9:00-16:00. The bus has two levels: one with covered seats, air conditioning, and windows, perfect for relaxing; the other without a roof, offering natural breezes and a wider view. I chose the open-air option. Along the way, there were iconic photo spots like Merdeka Square, Sentral, and Chinatown – the scenery was absolutely stunning. ₌᳐・֊・₌᳐੭ At each stop, there were announcements in English explaining which attraction we were at. Some attractions even had a five-minute photo stop. Since this is a 24-hour pass, you can explore on your own and wait for the next bus even if there's no photo stop. What's special is that the sightseeing bus sometimes passes between skyscrapers and sometimes through dense forests – the two different landscapes are truly breathtaking! The whole trip takes a little over two hours and will eventually take you back to Sungei Wang Plaza. If you're like me and want to enjoy a sightseeing bus tour followed by shopping, dining, and a relaxing evening at your hotel, I recommend the daytime bus!
