This tour from Kuala Lumpur takes you to Genting Highlands, a beautiful area with beautiful roads and lots of entertainment, but more on that later. This route is not too long and you can drive it in a few hours if you want, but with the possible stops along the way you can even consider planning an overnight stay and making it a two day trip.

If you don't have a scooter or motorcycle yourself, you can rent one from one of the many rental companies in Kuala Lumpur. This ride starts and ends at Bino Motorcycle Rental Kuala Lumpur, where they rent different types.

Driving in Kuala Lumpur is challenging, traffic is on the left, it is very busy and most of the streets are one way, so drive carefully and pay close attention. The first part (± 16km) we drive on the highway.

The first stop is at Thean Hou temple (RP7), for this we have to make a detour. This is a beautiful Chinese temple complex with six floors and an area of 6760 m². The temple was completed in 1987 and officially opened in 1989, well worth a visit. It is a Chinese cultural tourism destination known for integrating various aspects of Mazu folk culture, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in the Kuala Lumpur region.

Many activities related to Mazu culture, Buddhism and Taoism are held in Thean Hou Temple while the goddess Mazu, the goddess of mercy and the goddess Shui Wei are worshiped in the temple. Thean Hou Temple regularly organizes various party activities such as Goddess Festival, Spring Festival, Wesak Day and so on.

At RP8 you will see beautiful “Old Kuala Lumpur Train station” one of Kuala Lumpur's most famous landmarks, until the Petronas Twin Towers was built. Together with the Sultan Abdul Samad building, it is one of the most photographed symbols of the city. The station was completed in 1910 and designed by architect Arthur Benison Hubback. He worked in the Public Works Department and was responsible for many other iconic buildings in Malaysia, such as the stately Ipoh Railway Station and the Royal Gallery in Klang. Kuala Lumpur Railway Station is built with Mughal features such as the elegant chhatris (domed pavilions of Indian origin) along the roofline.

The station served as the city's main rail hub until the modern Kuala Lumpur Central station took over in 2001. The old station is still used for KTM Komuter services.

Just outside the city we drive around the Empangan Batu reservoir (RP10) and through the Hutlista Recreational Park (RP11), where you can enjoy the beautiful nature. Along the route there are a number of parking spaces where you can stop to rest, take beautiful pictures, walk or cool yourself in a river.

A Brunch or Lunch is planned in Ulu Yam (RP12), here are several small restaurants, especially the restaurant Weng Heng is a cozy meeting place for motorcyclists, especially on weekends it is very busy.

The next part of this ride takes you on beautiful winding roads through the Genting Highlands with the beautiful Malaise countryside to the next stop at RP16, where we visit the De Chin Swee Caves temple.
This is a Chinese temple located in the most scenic spot of Genting Highlands, on a 28-hectare parcel of rocky wooded land donated by the founder of the Genting Group, the late Lim Goh Tong.
The temple, located at 1,400 meters above sea level, is a 5-10 minute drive from the top of the mountain. Inside the temple is a statue of Qingshui, a Buddhist monk who has long been called a deity in Fujian province, China for his supernatural ability to summon rain and drive away evil spirits. The temple attracts many local and foreign devotees from Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, China, Thailand, and Indonesia.

A few kilometers away is Genting (RP17), there is a lot to do, there are several, shops, attractions, restaurants, casinos, amusement parks, cable car and so on.
The Genting Highlands is the only place where gambling is legal in Malaysia and in recent years this place has become Malaysia's Las Vegas. There are also always performances and concerts. So this is a great place for lovers of such entertainment to plan an extra night. More information about this special resort in the mountains can be found on the site (link in the review).

On the return journey to Kuala Lumpur, we will stop in Gohtong for a short break and drink or eat something. Other motorcyclists can often be found at restaurant Nan Yang Kopitiam.

The last part of the ride to the end point in Kuala Lumpur we drive on some beautiful winding roads, especially the part between RP19 and RP20 is a real pleasure for motorcyclists with many sharp (hairpin) turns.
