 Kota Tinggi
waterfalls
waterfalls is what comes to mind when Kota Tinggi is mentioned. The
falls at Kota Tinggi are a great favourite among the locals. On
most weekends, there will be at least 1000 visitors who come here
to bath, picnic or just to laze on the rocks. Many come just to
enjoy the cool air and the sight of the falls splashing down some
36 metres into the clear pools below. The surrounding greenery,
falls and people make a good photographic subject and very often
the visitor will be able to meet foreigners, and locals too, with
camera at the ready to capture that elusive scene. |
