If the weather starts to get too hot and humid where you are, how about escaping to the cool hills of Bukit Larut in Taiping, Perak?

Formerly known as Maxwell Hill, the hill station is just 10km from the town of Taiping. There are no traffic jams in the area because private vehicles aren’t allowed in. You need to take the Government-owned four-wheel drive up the hill station, which is 1,250m above sea level. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the top.
