Awana SkyWay (Formerly known as Genting Highlands Premium Outlets Cable Car)
Awana SkyWay (Formerly known as Genting Highlands Premium Outlets Cable Car) is the main aerial route to and from the mountaintop resort area in Genting Highlands, Malaysia. Departing from Awana Central Station on the mountainside, it takes approximately 10 minutes to reach Genting Highlands Station at the summit, climbing over 600 m during the journey. The cable car spans the entire valley, offering views of the pristine tropical rainforest below, said to be over 100 million years old. As the cabins ascend slowly along the mountain ridge, mist often drifts through the sea of trees. On clear days, you can see the layered mountain ranges in the distance, and the temperature at the summit is noticeably cooler than at the base. The cabins come in two types: standard cabins, which are shared with other travelers and have higher capacity, and glass-bottom cabins. Among the over 100 cabins in operation, only about 10 feature transparent floors, allowing direct views of the rainforest and deep valleys below. Those seeking this "floating" experience should plan ahead. The route also includes a stop at Chin Swee Temple Station, where travelers can disembark with the same ticket to visit the hillside Chin Swee Temple and Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda before reboarding to continue the uphill ride—a highlight many travelers miss. The summit station connects directly to the SkyAvenue mall, with attractions like Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park just steps away.

As a Malaysians, you need to experience this themepark at least once in your lifetime. Wheather can be a little bit confusing because it can be foggy then sunny and suddenly there was a downpour. Enjoyable place if you know where to go, make sure to study the maps from the apps and know where your desired rides located. Better to go during weekday for lesser queue.

Genting Highlands is really popular among locals. It is packed with people every weekend and holiday. There are several hotels all over Genting Highlands, including three-star, four-star and five-star hotels. Moreover, the hotel group is very generous and provides free rooms (but certain conditions must be met). This "free" strategy can also attract tourists to come and consume frequently.

The price was a bit high, but the scenery was beautiful. Unfortunately, there was no refund or cancellation policy. Because the driver deliberately led us on a wrong route, we were delayed and couldn't reach the top for the view. The children were very disappointed, and the driver refused to compensate us. We had to buy new tickets ourselves and visit the next day.

Went on a Friday, literally no queue. Very enjoyable but the roller coaster is still not functioning. Otherwise all other rides are fun and i even brought my 66year old mom on the thrill ride. What a memory

The aquarium is located in a central area of Kuala Lumpur and is one of the most beautiful aquariums I have ever visited. The wide variety of aquatic species gives it a special charm, as does the underwater tunnel. And if you time your visit right, you can catch the feeding sessions for various species. I recommend it to everyone!
