Tulips at Maxwell Hill, Taiping, MY

Tulips in Malaysia's ground? Unbelievable!!! but true. April 17 2005, We started our hike from the foot of the hill at about 8.30am and we had a great time hiking up the 1036m hill.

We took merely 2hrs 45mins to reach the top.

Environment was great as we were welcome by a canopy bridge and sightseeing tower at the near peak. ... (more)

Many thanks for your wonderful tulip pix! I wonder if "pearless" should be spelled "peerless" (look it up in your English dictionary, I think it means without "peers", i.e. unequalled in beauty!)
