Panoramic Views

Speaking of the amount of money accumulated in that account, we recently utilized it so wisely on a wonderful trip.
During the passed weekend, four cars started their engines wildly at 3.30am, departing to our destination, Kuantan.
Before deciding on the destination, neat surveys have been made. Since I've visited Kuantan several times then, my mind started to alert me with discouraging statements before the trip, such as, "it will not make any differences with your previous visitations." But the real thing proved that I was wrong.
This time, we went to Sungai Lembing, with strong desire burning in our hearts, we swore to conquer Mount Panorama (林明山).
According to the information we obtained first hand, there is an awesome spot in Mount Panorama which is worth to explore. It is said that there is a legendary Rainbow Waterfall located at the peak of this part of the mount.
From 5 something in the morning onwards, after walloping our brief breakfast, filled with excitement, we marched towards our first spot of the day, Rainbow Waterfall. With two gigantic vehicles (they are mere trucks, actually), and off we go!
Guess what? Elephant dunk is in the house!
After an hour of journey, we arrived at the trekking site eventually. Since leeches are vehement creatures (according to a few aunties, that is), it scared some of us to a great extent. (The above picture shows almost everyone of us joined in the repellent-splashing fiesta, but it makes no sense doing this though, since we were soon to immerse ourselves into the water)
And so, jungle-trekking, off we go!
After approximately an hour of walking, the faint-hearted ones sometimes jumped here and there, claiming that the scary leeches had already made them blood-sucking hosts. Out of the blue, you could hear someone screaming in agony once in a while, only to hear someone giggling soon after all the screamings. The above picture shows how bold my dad was. That was actually a picture where a starving leech sticking onto my dad's foot. Can't see anything? Click on the thumbnail for a larger view!
Okay, here it is, the so-called legendary Rainbow Waterfall. The uniqueness of this scenery, if you could observe, is the existence of the magnificent rainbow, shining gracefully across the tranquilizing moisture of the beautiful waterfall. Every step we took was well worth. However, this panoramic view can only be seen during a certain period of time. It can be clearly seen where it hanging high up in the sky from approximately 8am to 10.30am. Moments later than that, the appealing rainbow would sink into the water. So be sure that you reach there on time.
We were in awe with the great creation by the Almighty One, overjoyed with unsustainable feelings and posed funnily for photo-snapping.

Throughout the rocky journey on the trucks, we were as though given a free service of whole body massage, those rocks and obstructive objects on the ground simply couldn't stop the trucks from vibrating. When the trucks went deep into the hide, situations became even more adventurous, the arms of certain plants were extended, thus long and thorny stems were blocking our way. To clear our path, drivers chopped down the obstructions mercilessly.

last semester break i was going to climb the mountain. but a team of us starting to climb at about 8am, while most the aunties and uncles were already in their return way to enjoy the famous mee linming. During our puff and blow rest, those aunties gave us some i dunno it's a mocking or encouragement:"see, in our age still can reach the top, why not u! "
we wanted to go to the waterfall but didnt know the way and no transport to go there..it's such a legendary place, right?
You can't start to hike the place at 8am.. That's a bit too late. Normally people started climbing as early as 4am to 5am.
When you begin your journey as early as 4-5am for the normal route of Mount Panorama, you could see the beautiful scenery of sunrise.
For the Rainbow Waterfall, you need to look for truck drivers available in that area. The drivers will then take you to the trekking site. The journey steals about an hour or more. Later on, you will start hiking from that area onwards, for approximately another hour, which means, you would probably witness the waterfall at about 8-9am. That would be the best time to experience its undeniable beauty!
thanks for ur info, ben, it's very useful.
about the climbing time...we set at 5am in the morning, unfortunately the car was throwing it's temper in the middle way...that caused the delaying...sigh...
