Hi, Lykkers! Genting Highlands is a popular mountain destination in Pahang, Malaysia, known for its cooler highland setting, forested surroundings, entertainment, shopping, and outdoor attractions.

The resort area combines developed facilities with the natural landscape of the Titiwangsa Highlands, offering visitors a variety of experiences in one destination.

Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park

Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park is one of the main attractions at Resorts World Genting. The outdoor theme park features themed areas, rides, immersive experiences, and family-friendly entertainment.

Tourism Malaysia currently lists its operating hours as 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and notes that it is closed on Tuesdays except during public holidays and school holidays. Visitors should check the latest official information before planning their visit.

Awana SkyWay

Awana SkyWay, now referred to by Resorts World Genting as the Genting Highlands Premium Outlets Cable Car, connects the mid-hill area with Resorts World Genting.

The journey takes about 10 minutes and includes a complimentary stop at Chin Swee Station, where visitors can explore Chin Swee Caves Temple. The current official operating hours are 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily. Standard gondola fares are listed at RM11 for a one-way journey and RM19 for a return journey.

Chin Swee Caves Temple

Chin Swee Caves Temple is located about 4,600 feet above sea level on a 28-acre rocky and wooded site. The complex includes a pagoda, SkyTerrace, sculptures of Guan Yin and Buddha, the Ten Chambers, and the Bridge of Fairies.

Founded by Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, the founder of Genting Highlands, the temple took 18 years to construct because of the challenging terrain. It is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Genting Highlands Premium Outlets

Genting Highlands Premium Outlets is a shopping destination featuring more than 150 designer and name-brand outlet stores. Located in the mid-hill area, it is connected to the cable car station and can be combined with a visit to other Genting Highlands attractions. The outlet centre currently operates daily from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Nature at Resorts World Awana

Visitors can also experience the natural surroundings around Resorts World Awana, where rainforest trekking and bird watching are among the available outdoor activities.

The resort is situated in a forested highland environment and also features an 18-hole golf course. These activities offer an opportunity to explore the natural landscape beyond the main resort attractions.

Ticket Price

There is no single admission ticket covering all attractions in Genting Highlands because each attraction has its own ticketing arrangements.

For the cable car, the current official Resorts World Genting website lists standard gondola fares at RM11 for a one-way journey and RM19 for a return journey. The ticket includes a complimentary stop at Chin Swee Caves Temple. Prices for other attractions may vary and should be checked through their official websites before visiting.

Tips for Visiting

Wear comfortable shoes when exploring the theme park, shopping areas, temple complex, and outdoor attractions. A light jacket can be useful because the highland environment is cooler than Malaysia's lowland areas.

Visitors travelling by car should drive carefully on the winding mountain roads, particularly during misty or poor-visibility conditions.
