  • Bukit Larut is a hill resort in Malaysia located in the state of Perak, Malaysia, 10 kilometres southwest from Taiping. It was established under the direction of British colonists in 1884 as a place of observation for tin mining activity and as a retreat for the English people who were based in nearby Larut and Taiping. The area was initially named Maxwell Hill after the British Malaya administrator George Maxwell, and was renamed as Bukit Larut in 1979. Bukit Larut is rich in biodiversity. Bukit Larut is home to 621 highland plant species which accounts for 20.4% of the overall highland plant species found in Peninsular Malaysia, as well as 27 mammal, 227 bird, 9 reptile, and 56 amphibian species. The area receives the highest rainfall in Malaysia with precipitation reaching up to 5,800 millimetres (230 in) annually. Access to Bukit Larut's only road is restricted to four-wheel drive vehicle and foot travel due to the steep and narrow nature of the road. After a 1997 proposal to redevelop Bukit Larut with additional tourism facilities was opposed by the public, the government of Perak chose instead to renovate the old colonial-era bungalows and rest houses. Bukit Larut is the location for the annual North Face Malaysia Mountain Trail Festival, which is a qualifier event for the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB). (en)

  • Bukit Larut, sebelumnya dikenal sebagai Maxwell Hill (tapi masih sering disebut dengan nama kedua-nya), adalah sebuah resor bukit yang terletak 10 km dari Taiping, Perak, Malaysia. Didirikan pada tahun 1884, resor ini adalah resor bukit tertua di Malaysia dengan ketinggian sekitar 1.250 m di atas permukaan laut. Bukit Larut menerima curah hujan tertinggi di Malaysia karena terletak di bagian paling basah di negeri ini. Maxwell Hill dinamai oleh William George Maxwell, yang adalah Asisten Residen Inggris di Perak. Tidak dikembangkan sebagai resor bukit lain seperti Genting Highlands dan Cameron Highlands, Bukit Larut mempertahankan suasana kolonial dengan bungalow kuno dan taman Inggris. Akses tersedia hanya dengan (milik pemerintah) otoritas resor Tanah Rovers (kendaraan pribadi tidak diizinkan masuk tanpa izin), meskipun orang bebas untuk berjalan di atas bukit seperti banyak untuk latihan (mencapai puncak bisa memakan waktu hingga delapan jam).

  • 太平山（英語：Maxwell Hill，馬來語：Bukit Larut），也称为劳律山，拉律山，位于马来西亚霹雳州冕登山脉南麓，距离太平约10公里。山峰最高海拔1250公尺，于1884年创立，是马来西亚最早的高原度假胜地。太平山也是马来西亚降雨量最高的山峰，因其位于素有雨城之称的太平。这里曾经是英国人种植咖啡和茶叶的园地，所以也被当地华人成为“咖啡山”。现在山上依然保留着度假屋，可供旅游者留宿。由于上山路陡峭，不适合普通的汽车通行。游客上山时必须乘坐管理当局提供的登山吉普车，山脚下有停车场可供车辆停放。喜爱徒步登山者，可以选择沿登山公路登山。茶园是太平山的山间台地，这里设有小商店，公园以及管理中心等公共设施，从茶园这里，可以鸟瞰山下的太平市，也可以眺望远处的马六甲海峡。 (zh)
