Cameron Highlands

Japanese: キャメロン・ハイランズ(英語表記)Cameron Highlands
Cameron Highlands
A highland resort in the center of the Malaysian peninsula. There are three towns at an altitude of 1,200 to 1,500 meters, and hotels, golf courses, and hiking trails through the jungle are available. The name comes from a British surveyor from the colonial era, and it was once a summer resort for the British. It is about an hour's drive from Tapah, a town south of Ipoh. In addition to tourism, it is known for producing tea and highland vegetables, and high-quality leafy vegetables are shipped to Singapore. In recent years, the leisurely summer resort of Genting Highlands has appeared near Kuala Lumpur, but the town remains popular as a healthy and quiet resort.

マレーシアの半島部中央にある高原の保養地。標高1200~1500mの地に三つの町があり,ホテル,ゴルフ場,密林のハイキング・コース等が整備されている。植民地時代のイギリス人測量技師の名にちなむ地名で,かつてはイギリス人の避暑地であった。イポー南方の町タパーより車で1時間程度の距離にある。観光のほか,茶と高原野菜の生産でも知られ,質の良い葉菜類はシンガポールへも出荷される。近年,クアラ・ルンプル近郊に歓楽的な避暑地ゲンティン・ハイランズが登場したが,健康で静かな保養地としての人気は根強い。
