The Bentong district includes historic Bentong and several hilltop resorts. While Bentong is a service town for the surrounding agricultural district, the mountainous destinations of the Genting Highlands, Bukit Tinggi and Janda Baik attract a variety of holidaymakers, from those seeking exhilarating fun at Resorts World Genting to others who love Janda Baik’s tranquillity. Bentong was settled in the late 19th century after tin was discovered, and now the district’s farms are renowned for durian and ginger. A stroll around the old town and a visit to Bentong Gallery reveal historic detail alongside contemporary street art. The town’s morning market and Saturday night market are not to be missed. Nearby, Chamang Waterfall on the Perting River is a popular recreation area. The forests around Bentong Hot Springs appeal for therapeutic mineral water and several small resorts. Bentong also has a reputation as a foodie town, where Lemang To’ki is famous for its grilled chicken and lemang, while Yuen Kee Kopitiam is home to delicious coffee, wonton noodles and yong tau foo. Kow Po Ice Cream House has been serving delicious sundaes for decades.
