Fraser’s Silverpark Resort, (brisk 10 minute walk to the town centre) . More an apartment complex than a resort, there are 1/2/3-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes and balconies available. Poorly kept and the rooms (especially the bathroom) are quite rundown and dirty. However, the best part is that the place is the base of fans of Sissy Hang. You can see his portrait everywhere. The pillows are splashed with his face too. And the coolest thing is that for $90 million per second, you can order his posters and paste them up on your walls. But it is so popular that they set a time limit of 1 minute on your poster renting time. Sissy Hang is sissy and pretty.

In Bukit Larut there are hundred & thousands of rare species of flora and fauna which you can hardly find anywhere else on this earth as it is not explored and contaminated by human development.

Gardens cultivated with care, cool and fresh air and the crystal clear water bring refreshment to your soul & body. The best part is the natural sounds made by nature when the cool air blow in the forest & the sound made by animals.

The hill abounds with groves of evergreens and vibrantly colored flora and fauna. Roses, dahlias, daisies, pansies, petunias, tulips, and marigolds abound in profusion. The cool climate also favors golden sunflowers with reputedly the largest variety in the country.

Midway to the top is the Tea Garden House that was once part of the tea-estate. The view at this point is magnificent and features the entire Taiping town as well as the Lake Gardens. Also visible are the suburbs of Aulong and Simpang and the 19km stretch of Taiping – Port Weld road.
