Beautiful Limestone Hill in the Morning

Ipoh is famous of its delicious food, beautiful mountains & charming limestone hills. While driving on North-South Expressway heading to Kuala Lumpur this morning, the limestone hill nearby Simpang Pulai appears sharp & fresh under the blue sky when the bright sunlight shining on it. This should be one of the best sceneries along this 800km-long expressway. I would say it is worth to build an observation point at this stretch of the expressway to let travellers relax themselves by enjoying the beautiful scene.

Hi, may I know exactly where was this photo taken? At the moment I am doing a design project relating to limestone hills in Ipoh and I was wondering if you have more photos of the limestone hills? Thank you.
