Top of the World at Lin Min San



There's a secret place near Kuantan where the local folks go, to see the sun rise over hills and forests. Located in the obscure town of Sungai Lembing, the pathway leading to the foot hill of Bukit Panorama passes through shoplots, a school and a public library.

Climbing up the narrow steps takes a lot of endurance but the experience is worth it. In view that the sun rises just before 7 am, the journey up must begin at least an hour before in order to catch the magnificent view of the crimson sky and flowing white clouds. In addition to the fabulous scenery, the fresh cool air is a real treat. Be sure to enjoy some local dishes after the tiring walk at the food stalls located near the main road. The speciality are tomato mee , curry mee and the famous yong tau foo that are not only delicious but cheap.
