Bukit Larut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bukit Larut, formerly known as Maxwell Hill, is a hill resort located 10 km from Taiping, Perak, Malaysia. Founded in 1884, it is the oldest hill resort in Malaysia. It is approximately 1250 m above sea level. Bukit Larut receives the highest rainfall in Malaysia because it is located in the wettest part of the country.
Maxwell Hill was named after William Edward Maxwell, who was the British Assistant Resident in Perak.
Not as developed as other hill resorts such as the Genting Highlands and Cameron Highlands, Bukit Larut retains a colonial atmosphere with its quaint bungalows and English gardens.
