Fraser’s Hill

Fraser’s Hill has always been one of the known places to get away for the weekend or even a day trip place to visit by most local Malaysians and for some travelers. Another reason to visit Fraser’s Hill would be for the rich nature and Eco-tourism offered here. Bird watchers and nature enthusiast are a common sight here especially on weekends. This old British Colonial Hill Resort was discovered by Louise James Fraser, a Scotsman who in the 1890s found tin and gold on this 1524 meter hill and hired Chinese miners to prospect the natural minerals here.

In 1922, a road was cut through the hills which eventually developed into a favourite getaway where bungalows and even the countries first golf course was designed and made here. Since then, nothing much has changed in Fraser’s Hill as development has been pretty much controlled making it one of the last few original British towns out of England. This place is also known as ‘Little England’ as most of the buildings don the famous mock Tudor with granite coloured walls.
