周末出走记之景德果园度假村 Weekend Getaway to Kin Tick Orchard Village

The hustle , bustle city life make us hard to breathe, so back to the nature is the best way to rejuvenate the mind, soul and body.
城市繁忙的生活总让人透不过气,所以贴近大自然是一个从新回復,放松身心的好方法。

We decided to spend our weekend in the Kin Tick Orchard Village,  Bukit Tinggi,  just an hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. Kin Tick Orchard Village is very near to Betong town ( about 15 minutes).
我们一行人决定到景德果园度假村去度过周末。这度假村位于 Bukit Tinggi, 从吉隆坡约一个多小时的车程。这地方也非常靠近文冬市区,大约十五分钟。

Depart from KL in the early morning and have our breakfast in Kepong, then continue our journey to Betong town to taste the homemade ice cream , we ordered the ABC plus ice cream which is famous, but for me.....the ABC plus ice cream just taste normal, nothing special......
一大早从吉隆坡出发,先到甲洞吃早餐,继续驱车到文冬大街吃自制的雪糕。 我们点了出名的杂果雪糕,但我个人觉得并不是特别好吃,满普通的。

We  reached The Orchard Village before the check-in time but luckily we are allowed to check in early. What surprising us is we need to cross a river before reach the village, so no choice we have to park our car outside and take a ride on the four wheels drive.
比预期的时间早到了,幸亏获得通融可以提早拿到房间。
让我们预想不到的是在到达度假村前,得先经过一条河流,别无选择,只好把车停在外边,搭上四轮驱车前往度假村。


Check-in  登记




There are three themes of room available, Bali house, Stone House and Hill house.  We rent a stone house, the room is spacious even though it is equipped with 4 queen side beds, a cupboard and a set of bamboo sofa, a long table. The room is far more better than what we imagined and is enough to fix eleven of us.
度假村内有三种不同的主题的房间,巴里屋,石头屋,山上小屋。 我们租了石头屋,虽然有四个双人床,,一个厨,一套竹沙发,和长桌子,但是房内还是显得非常空阔;足以容纳下我们是十一个人。

Finish check in, put all luggage in the room and take a rest.  Then have a lunch in Valley Resort which is about 20 minutes from Betong town. Our lunch:  Nyonya steam Tillapia, Valley Resort's Chicken, Taufu, belacan paku pakis(Fern)  seaweed egg soup and coconut  water.  
完成登记, 放下行李 ,休一休息。 过后,我们便到离文冬市区大约二十分钟的山寨谷去吃午餐。我们的午餐:娘惹式蒸非洲鱼,山寨鸡肉,豆腐, 辣椒炒蕨类,紫菜蛋花汤 和椰水。

Valley Resort , it's location is quite unique as we need to drive through the rubber estate before reach the restaurant.  
山寨谷,它的位置蛮特别的,我们需要经过一大片的橡胶园才能到达这餐馆。 
                                                       

The first activity in the orchard village was cycling. There are free bicycle provided. From my experience, it was a bit hard to cycle around because the place is hilly and there is also limited compound for us to cycle around. Most of my friend did a good try to cross the river by cycling, it really work as there is a "flat" road built  and  the river is not very deep.
在度假村的第一个活动是骑脚踏车。他们有提供免费的脚踏车。从我的经验,在度假村内骑脚踏车还满吃力的,因为那地方有小山坡,平地确满少的,所以无法很过瘾的的骑。
朋友们都 尝试了骑脚踏车过河流,结果都成功了!不错不错!


The next activity was a short jungle trekking. The trail is short but nicely built with used tyres.
下一个活动是短短的森林徒步。一路上的小路都用轮胎铺好了,非常好走。


It is time to reward ourselves with food after a tired outdoor activities !  We have a yummy yummy dual soup steamboat as dinner. I liked Tomyan steamboat so much even though it was very spicy.(the steamboat is prepared by our own, don't worry there is a cafeteria near lobby for those didn't prepare own dinner)
经过了累人的户外活动,最好就是用食物来赏一赏自己!我们自己在房内弄了双汤火锅晚餐。我喜欢东炎味的火锅,虽然辣是辣了点,不过好吃!(如果自己没有准备,也可以到再柜台旁的餐定吃。)
 

At night, there is a karaoke session in the middle of the lobby. The karaoke is open...... really need courage to sing in front of so many people, luckily my three bravest friends managed to do it, even though the first song was out of pitch..hahahaha! (Anyway,  big claps to them ) .  We got belated birthday surprise for a friend after the karaoke session, he was really in surprise, yeah the plan work! Poker cards and Lami games (very similar to mahjong) are another activities that fill up our night.
晚上的活动有卡拉Ok。 这卡拉ok 是在大厅中央,真的是需要勇气才敢在大庭广众下高歌一曲。我那三个勇气可嘉的朋友成功的做到了。 哈哈!虽然第一首歌,跟不上节奏,有点走音,还是要给他一个大大的掌声!肖后,我们也准备了惊喜生日给其中一名朋友, 他那错愕,惊喜的表情 ,yeah, 我们的计划成功!扑克牌和Lami 是我们的后续活动。

   

The next morning, i woke up at seven and walk around the orchard village by myself. It's very relax with fresh air, listening to birds and insects chirping.... what a wonderful morning!
隔天一早,我七点起身后,便到度假村内溜达溜达。安静的清晨, 听这虫鸣声,鸟叫声,呼吸着新鲜的空气,是个多么轻松舒服的早上啊!

吃过早餐后,我们便出发到 Chamang 瀑布。这瀑布还满漂亮的。我们大概花了一个多小时在这儿戏水。

                                      Look! how enjoyable they are having a "fighting" in the water !
                                                          看!他们多“享受” 水中之战!


Backed to orchard village, take shower, lunch, packed up , check out and back to KL. A wonderful weekend getaway !
回到度假村,冲凉,吃午餐,收拾,退房,便驱车会吉隆坡。 真是一个轻松好玩的周末游!
