Long Wang, lost world

 As selected the afternoon flight, combined with getting lost, to reach the dragon was already looking waterfall ten o'clock at night. Get off at first sight, everywhere is filled with fog and dense tropical rainforest. A dark forest in addition to our line of seven people as if no densely. I reached the destination of this trip: in Johor, Kota Tinggi, Malaysia (Kota Tinggi) Dragon Falls Wang (Kota Tinggi Waterfalls or Lombong Waterfall).
Johor (Johor Bahru), in the most southern part of Malaysia. first heard The strange names, I feel this is very nice names. I thought, where there is such a name, then soft and then Xu is a place of natural right, however. and then query the relevant data and found that the old Johor in 1587 years ago, is actually the location of the ancient royal. only after the Kingdom of Johor and Portuguese up to three years of war, invasion and wantonly destroyed by the Portuguese, the decline until they finally disappear. war, the decline of the ancient royal family, all names in this soft and has a Buddha means the place, gave me strong sense of mystery and unknown sad.
Kota Tinggi in Johor River's left bank, is the Johor Kingdom of the old capital. It is Malaysia's archaeological heartland. And the dragon looking waterfalls, is located at Kota Tinggi in 16 kilometers northeast, Muntahak under a hill, 620 meters. up to 32 meters waterfall was surrounded in a quiet ancient tropical rainforest, and gradually be forgotten. that we, as the advance team arrived, the entire forest which is only We are seven.
night can not up the mountain, no telephone lines and mobile phone signals, can not access an instant as if isolated. The only thing can do is to sleep. sleeping accommodation is on a mountainside cabin, behind the is the dark forest, this night is prohibited from entering the. Each cabin has a small hallway before, a light bulb hanging in front. Since no one lived a long, wooden door on the wall so there will be some coming and going gecko to climb, open the door into the room, a giant moth flying head. I did not disturb it, be patient with it flying out of the room, because in Malaysia, the night flying insects represent such unknown spirit, angered it there will be a bad thing to happen.
night sleep, the morning was accidentally discovered roommate scared scream.
next morning, with the birds and the faint sound of water to get up, pack and run mountains, are scattered in various locations along the cabin. squatter unknown before the open flowers. Gradually, more and more as the sound of water, we saw the first layer of the waterfall. falls into a giant around here the boulders, at about two washed down stock shock, like a natural waterfall swimming pool, large and small pebbles around it. We eat breakfast before the waterfall, the mountain forests of the indigenous people --- monkeys out activity. they are well experienced in the next voyeur, waiting to steal our food, so we have to work with monkeys fought a battle on the food.
before continuing up the mountain, accompanied by local people to remind us that in the If you see anything strange mountain thing, let it go, do not pay attention to it, do not be quiet. He also took a lot of incense in displeasure, I looked around and found that the monkeys have a very assertive are gone, said it was time for the monkeys joke move. he inserted in the foothills around Hong, also did not answer me. We continue up the mountain. I walked, I suddenly began to rain, the man perhaps we should stop, take out the incense, and remembered and remembered all of a sudden rain stopped. The same situation occurred three times before, and finally to the level that we achieve the highest waterfall, the rain had not then the next, and the other I can not help but start to feel different dilapidated.
mountain rain forest do not know how many years the growth of each one seemed so huge. They work hard to straight up, high as if we should touch the sky, surrounded by a great length of finger-like ants crawling forward, climbed every tree that locals inserted under That stick of incense. occasionally a giant lizard.'s largest waterfall for the other side of the hill, we need to wade through pools of eight meters deep, and then climb up the hillside opposite, to be able to capture the panoramic views. should not a few people it is so fanatical, so this place is getting lonely.
down in the afternoon when, after another foot to a few local Indians and Malays, they only swim in the swimming pool downstream, tired the singing to the land put up a tent to sleep, as if paradise.
Hope Falls Long lines do not travel in the country, so we take the Malaysian domestic flights from Kuala Lumpur, Johor, arrived about 45 minutes. Guche required after the plane from the airport go to the waterfall about an hour. If you have an international driver's license, drove directly from Kuala Lumpur, you can get almost four hours.
