Hin Lek Fai
The English translates to Flintstone Hill probably because thats what its made of. This is a great little place that doesn’t get many visitors which is probably a good thing! Only a couple of kilometers west of the city it provides a number of good viewing points to take it all in. Best times to visit are early morning and dusk where you’ll often come across a number of people far fitter than I who have cycled or run up it. There are landscaped gardens, some kind of butterfly park that never seems to be open, resident peacocks and other wildlife and the odd statue. I like the serene ambiance up there, no traffic noise … bliss!

A little way down Hin Lek Fai is a Chinese temple with monkeys, who sometimes come out & sit by the roadside. It’s a strange experience to come across them if you’re not expecting it!
