Kee Hua Chee Live!: PART 7---BELUM RAINFOREST RESORT. THE ARMY FORT IS JUST IN FRONT OF BELUM RAINFOREST RESORT ACROSS THE ROAD AND PROVIDES A FASCINATING GLIMPSE INTO THE AREA'S COMMUNIST PAST AS THIS REGION WAS A 'BLACK AREA' UNTIL THE SEVENTIES WHEN THE LAST COMMIES WERE ERADICATED AND THE BRIDGE BUILT. IN FACT, THE ARMY WAS BASED HERE TO ENSURE THE CONSTRUCTION WAS NOT SABOTAGED!

I visited Belum at the end of 2014, and I remember this ! I forgot to take ANY pictures but it was so fascinating to look at the fort, watch the video talking about the fort and basically exploring it. I think Belum needs to bank on this more and make it an attraction so people can come visit. Thanks for all the wonderful photos. Memories indeed!
