Bukit Larut (Maxwell Hill)
It was founded in 1884 by William Edward
Maxwell, the British Assistant Resident of
Perak. Perched at 1250m above sea level, it
is the wettest place in Malaysia, with an
annual rainfall of over 500cm. Temperature
here hovers around 15 degrees centigrade in
the early morning and late afternoon, dipping
to 10 degrees centigrade at night.
The Tea Garden House, situated mid-way up
the hill, was once the office of a tea
plantation. However, when their tea plants
did not grow very well here, the British shifted
their agricultural endeavour to the Cameron
Highlands, where the Boh Tea Plantation is
now. All types of Malaysian flowers including
the rare giant fishtail palm thrive here while
tulips are grown on an experimental basis.
The golden sunflowers grown here are the
largest in the country.
On a clear day, one can view the peninsular
coastline and the Straits of Malacca,
sometimes stretching as far as Penang to
the north and Pangkor Island to the south.
The scenery is captivating during the day,
magical and bewitching at night. However,
the view is often obscured by cloud build-up
in the afternoon, especially from September
to December.
