Hugging a Gaharu Tree

On the way from Kampar to Batu Gajah, we were attracted to the "Great Wall of Gopeng" in our GPS. Whether it's the entrepreneur's marketing strategy or his unintentional entry in the GPS, we were indeed amazed to find something totally unexpected inside the Great Wall of Gopeng- A huge plantation with hundreds and hundreds of Gaharu trees - Gaharu Tea Valley.

While waiting for the trees to mature in the next 10-20 years, the entrepreneur has this idea of allowing visitors to see and hug a 20-year old Gaharu tree at RM10 per person. Hugging a Gaharu promises well being of one's life. Somehow, this turns out to be a good business strategy !
