Cactus Valley

Cameron Highlands


The highlands' reputation for fresh air and greenery has inspired entrepreneurial locals to found myriad plant-themed attractions. One is this ornamental garden featuring flowers, fruits, vegetables and spiky cacti large and small. It has the air of a money-spinner, with potted plants for sale and a sea of Instagramming visitors, but folks seem to enjoy it.
