Hiking : Taman Pendidikan Bukit Gasing @ Bukit Gasing Hiking Trail 1 : Suspension Bridge

Bukit Gasing have been my most frequent hiking venue for the past 2 years. Its one of my favourite leisure hiking venue and its never get me bored as there are just too many trail you can choose. You can have 30 minute hiking, 60 minute, 2 hours or even 3 hours trail if you familiar with it. Difficulties level also can be set by your own from very very leisure walk to medium difficult.

Although the place is too famous to find, below is my favourite location map to it.

1. Go to Jalan Gasing, Petaling Jaya
2. Look for Poh Lum Fatt Yuen or Poh Lum Temple
3. Turn into the road beside the temple (Jalan Lembah 5/2)
4. Go straight along Jalan Tanjong 5/4
5. You will find the official entrance arch at you right
