Beautiful view. Quite a challenging road to drive up from Balik Pulau side. As we went down to Teluk Bahang we passed by a dam. But I love it. We just passed by on a day trip.

I think it is over hyped - durian buffet was a disappointment. The durians avail was not what I had expected, I guess it is luck of the draw. Out of 7 types, only 2, in my opinion is decent to consume. Better to be able to choose the variety you like to eat at a reputable kiosk and you know you get what you want.
