Explore the secret forest along Malaysia's highest highway, a must-visit healing hiking route!

📍Location: Rawang Bypass, Selangor ✨ Why is it called the "Broccoli Forest"? Next to the Rawang Bypass in Selangor, Malaysia, lies a unique ecological wonder - an 18 km highway that winds through giant "broccoli trees." These ancient trees, with crowns as round as broccoli, are an endangered species found only in the Kanching Rainforest Reserve! Engineers raised the highway to create an "aerial corridor" to protect them, creating a textbook example of human-nature coexistence🌱 🌿 Hiking guide: A 20-minute light adventure to the top 1️⃣ Route highlights 🚗 Transportation: Navigate to "Rawang Bypass Peak Viewpoint" on Waze, about 40 minutes from downtown Kuala Lumpur 🕒 Duration: 20 minutes one way (beginner-friendly!) 🌟 Activities: Walk through a mysterious tree tunnel (bring a flashlight🔦!) + climb a rope to the 58-meter observation deck for a breathtaking view of the highway and rainforest 2️⃣ Hidden gems 📸 Instagram spot: The boulder on the right side of the peak! The S-curve of the highway and the overlapping tree crowns make for a perfect composition 🛤️ Ecological gems: Observe the white paint on the tree trunks (for pest control and insulation) and the reinforced supports (typhoon-resistant design) along the way to appreciate Malaysia's tree protection wisdom 🌱 Earth Day special: Hike more sustainably! ✅ Leave no trace tips 🚯 Bring your own water bottle instead of bottled water (no stores in the reserve) 📵 Take photos in silent mode to avoid disturbing wildlife 🌳 Adopt a "tree friend": Scan the trail QR code to adopt a Giam Kanching tree online (proceeds go to conservation) ⚠️ Prohibitions Do not pick plants or feed animals Some sections of the trail are slippery during the rainy season (November to March), so it's recommended to wear water shoes 🍃 Deep reflection: The philosophy of coexistence between highways and forests Standing on the observation deck, I suddenly understood - the millions of dollars spent to avoid ancient trees, the lime paste on the tree trunks to prevent pests, the triangular supports that silently hold up during typhoon season... Human humility towards nature will eventually lead to eternal poetry. As the local guide said, "We didn't choose to be environmentally friendly, but this forest chose us to have the right to survive." ✨ Practical information 🕰️ Best time: 7-9 am (avoid the afternoon sun + enjoy the misty fairyland) 🎫 Tickets: Free!
