Brinchang (also Berincang; Jawi: برينچڠ) is a town and hill resort located at an altitude of 1,540 metres (5,050 ft) in Cameron Highlands in the state of Pahang, Malaysia. The town's name is derived from nearby Gunung Brinchang, which is the second highest point in Cameron Highlands.
Brinchang is the second largest township of Cameron Highlands, situated on a gently sloping plateau about 2 km after Tanah Rata or 3 km before Kea Farm. While relatively small in spread compared to Tanah Rata, Brinchang is the densest in development - a tourist hub with local flavours and style.
The epicentre of Brinchang is a tight pocket of shophouses—restaurants, stores and budget hotels, while the surroundings hold further commercial developments, holiday apartments and residential homes.
