Immensely
popular for its Vegas-style casino and indoor and outdoor theme parks, Genting Highlands
is about an hour drive away from KL, perched approximately 1800 metres above
sea level.
Although the drastically different weather in Genting makes you feel like you?re far away from the city centre, you?d be surprised at how close Genting actually is to the middle of KL.
This was highlighted on Reddit Malaysia recently when someone posted a photograph they took of the KL skyline with Genting clearly visible in the background.

Malaysians were amazed at how beautiful Genting Highland looked, likening it to a sparkling, floating kingdom in the night sky, or a creepy spaceship hovering over KL.
In fact,
the photo looks so good that some swore it has to be edited. Genting can?t be
that close to KL?.this photograph isn?t to scale?or is it?
Well, we did some digging and actually, last week another Malaysian posted a similar photograph on Instagram. This photograph was taken from a further distance - Bukit Jalil to be exact (yes! Apparently you can see Genting from Bukit Jalil!) and really puts the location of Genting, relative to KL, into perspective.
Isn?t that insane? We've never noticed you could see Genting Highlands from KL. And we definitely had no idea you could see it all the way from Bukit Jalil! This really puts into perspective how massive Goh Tong projects actually are.
So did we.
