Brinchang (also Berincang) is a town and hill resort located at an altitude of 1,540 metres (5,050 ft) in Cameron Highlands in the state of Pahang, Malaysia.
Brinchang town.
Brinchang is the highest and second largest township of Cameron Highlands, situated on a gently sloping plateau about 2 km after Tanah Rata or 3 km before Kea Farm. While relatively small in spread compared to Tanah Rata, Brinchang is the densest in development - a tourist hub with local flavours and style.
The epicentre of Brinchang is a tight pocket of shophouses—restaurants, stores and budget hotels, while the surroundings hold further commercial developments, holiday apartments and residential homes. Gunung Brinchang is the origin of the town's name.
One of its attractions is the Night Market (moved to Golden Hills approximately 2km away) available during weekends and the Malaysian school holidays, where many vegetable stalls and food stalls are set up.
TransportEdit
