日莱峰（GUNUNG JERAI）

日莱峰（GUNUNG JERAI），又称吉打山（KEDAH PEAK），海拔1216公尺，它是马来半岛西北方最高的一座山，被当时的航海者视為“方向之星”，是国内著名的旅游区之一 。

日莱峰的西面是坐落在瓜拉姆达县，东面则坐落在铅县。一座山头也分為3个管辖范围，即从山脚至半山腰的小型森林博物院是由铅县管辖；小型博物院及山顶分别属於瓜拉姆达县和州政府管辖。

一般上，人们是从吉中峨仑（瓜拉姆拉县）的山脚盘旋而上13公里才可以抵达日来峰山顶。日莱峰的空气清新凉爽。若是遇上好天气，阳光普照时，还能自山顶上俯瞰四週，远眺自吉打沿伸至玻璃市的稻田。

望向西南方，可以看到碧蓝的海洋围绕著檳岛；面向西北方，可以看见具有神秘色彩的浮罗交怡。由於日莱峰与马来半岛的群岛相隔，致使山上的植物自成一格，与其他山区不同，显得另有特色。

追溯古时，天气异常美好时的日莱峰是皇室家族的渡假胜地，至了1975年才开放给公眾前来此处体验大自然。山顶的气候可说是冷中带风，平时的气候是摄氏20至21度，年杪只有摄氏19度，天气凉爽。
