Access to Fraser's Hill is only possible by road via the 'Gap' at the base of the resort. Once you get through the Gap and into Fraser's Hill proper, you will feel as though you have gone back in time to a bygone era. Fraser's Hill is akin to a little Scottish village with granite-coloured mock-Tudor buildings dotting the landscape. The town proper is relatively small, with much of the activity centred on a market square dominated by a little clock tower. Most of the town's amenities are housed in colonial styled buildings. The Scottish charm has been carefully replicated elsewhere throughout the resort so as to harmonise with the environment. From Ye Olde Smokehouse's country home ambience to the many Tudor styled public rest house and privately owned bungalows, right up to the Paddock housing the resort's horses and the myriad flower gardens, the colonial influence is evident everywhere. To support the many conservation efforts being carried out in this naturalists' paradise, the Fraser's Hill Nature Education Centre (FHNEC) was set up in 1997. Sitting smack in the centre of town, it would be the first stop for those looking to learn more about the resorts and its abundant flora and fauna. To maintain the relatively unspoiled beauty, FHNEC and various other parties are undertaking conservation efforts to preserve the eight scenic nature trails in the vicinity. Considered one of Malaysia's premier locations for bird-watching, this hill resort hosts the annual Fraser's Hill International Bird Race. This bird watching competition requires bird-watchers to race against time to spot as many bird species as possible within the resort's routes. Visitors to Fraser's Hill have an abundance of relaxing activities to indulge in. From a game of golf at the 9-hole Royal Fraser's Hill Golf Club or the 18-hole Fraser's Hill Golf & Country Club to fishing and boating at Allan's Water, from strolls among the many beautiful flower gardens and parks to splashing about n the icy cold Jeriau Waterfalls, there are enough leisurely pursuits to kept you busy. Accommodation at Fraser's Hill includes serviced apartments, medium to large bungalows and hotels. |
