Chin Swee Cave Temple is a popular tourist attraction and religious site located a few km before the peak of Genting Highlands on a sharp, rocky slope. Originally a cave temple, years of development have produced an expansive physical complex that extends far beyond the altar chamber, rooted in traditional Chinese architecture expressed by ornate prayer halls, colourful statues, opulent archways and its iconic pagoda tower. The temple was built by the founder of Genting (Lim Goh Tong) to venerate Buddhist figure Chin Swee, a year after he constructed the first resort and casino in 1975. The site was chosen as it reminded him of his birth village's landscape in Fujian, China.
Happy Bee Farm and Insect World is located along the main road a short distance before Gohtong Jaya town - where visitors can look at local honey production and even sample some of this sweet delight. The admission ticket provides for a guided tour across the premises, including honey tasting, viewing a gallery of live and mounted insects, and complimentary honey-based drink at the cafe. A boutique shop retails local handicrafts, souvenirs and picture frames with mounted insects, but also live beetles that visitors can purchase as pets. Meanwhile, the adjoining section showcases various honey products including balm, soap and sweets also for sale.
The mushroom farm occupies a hidden spot behind Genting Resort on the peak, located just before the exit to Kuala Lumpur at the traffic roundabout. Little has changed in terms of appearance over the years, but business remains brisk at this established tourist attraction. While the farm cultivates and sells mushrooms in shanty warehouses, it also has a very popular food court in the main building, housing several restaurants in a hawker stall (kopitiam) setting. On the farm grounds near the entrance, visitors can view a turtle pond, fountain and colourful statues depicting mythological creatures from Chinese and Western folklore.
The Genting Highlands Strawberry Leisure Farm is a popular tourist attraction in Gohtong Jaya, nestled directly at town opposite the Mawar and Bunga Raya Apartments. The farm can easily be reached by taking left from the roundabout past Hotel Seri Malaysia (if coming from Karak Highway), and following the road all the way to its end. Strawberries are not the only cultivations - mushrooms, herbs, flowers and hydroponic vegetables are also grown here commercialy in adjoining nurseries. Besides the farm's marketplace, visitors can also purchase strawberries by plucking them directly and paying by weight from 100gm onwards - this is a very popular family activity.
Lim Goh Tong Memorial Hall commemorates the founder of Genting Highlands, who passed away in 2007. The hall is located right next to his burial ground in a private park, a gentle hill slope landscaped with trees and flowers in Gohtong Jaya - nestled directly along the main road a short distance way from town. A wooden effigy of the man himself, seated on a throne of flowers with a backdrop painting depicting Genting Highlands, greets visitors as they clamber up the hall. A small fountain at right adds some serenity while a shop enclosed in a recess along the way sells snacks and drinks. Open daily from 8am to 10pm, the park is closed to public but can be viewed from afar.
