Sun - Bukit Tinggi Resort

So we drove up to Bukit Tinggi Resort the next morning. It's about 20 minutes away from Selesa Hillhomes.

Bukit Tinggi Resort is better known as "French Village" to many. It's a Genting Highlands wannabe, but without the star attraction: the casino. So gotta make do with other attractions such as a rabbit farm, a Japanese garden, and some buildings that are supposed to look like those in France. And since they can't make much money from day visitors, they charge an entrance fee for everything.

We went to the rabbit farm first.


Rabbits....

... rabbits...

This time I shall try to photograph rabbits.

... more rabbits...

... yawn.

At least there are some deers too.

Then we went to see the main attraction of Bukit Tinggi Resort: the Colmar Tropicale, named after a village in France. Very colourfully painted architectures they've got there, with cobbled walkways, and a drawn bridge.

Entering the French Village...

I wasn't in my best behaviour that day...

Emm... nice buildings. And that's pretty much about it. I thought they would at least have some French girls, or French Toast baking shows, or French kiss demonstrations. All they had was a short acrobatic show by Chinese performers, and a couple of stalls selling stuffs that you can find easily in shopping malls. Boring.

Caris girl seems to like the place.


They had some beautiful spots for taking photos though. And the swan behind me was REAL. Unfortunately, the Japanese Garden was closed for maintenance. Otherwise you would see me in samurai costume.

And since meals were expensive in the French Village, we went back to the row of Chinese restaurants near Selesa Hillhomes for a very satisfying lunch. And then it's a long drive back to Seremban.
