Stunning Scenic Views** Both Selantai and Mawar offer panoramic landscapes—ridges, valleys, and serene waters—that make every step rewarding. **2\. Beginner\-Friendly Trails** The routes are generally manageable, making them great for casual hikers, families, or anyone wanting an enjoyable, not overly strenuous adventure. **3\. Peaceful Natural Environment** You’ll experience fresh mountain air, quiet forests, and lakeside calm—perfect for escaping city noise and recharging. **4\. Accessible Yet Adventurous** They offer the feeling of a real outdoor seaside & Coastal adventure without requiring long travel times or advanced hiking skills. **INTRODUCTION** The Selantai and Pulau Mawar hike in Mersing, Johor is a scenic coastal trail known for its dramatic rock formations, clear blue waters, and quiet, untouched beaches. The route passes through coastal shrubs, sandy stretches, and rocky outcrops before reaching the iconic **“Heaven’s Gate (天堂之门)”** rocks at Pulau Mawar—one of the area’s most photogenic spots. It’s an easy-to-moderate hike suitable for beginners, offering beautiful sunrise views and a peaceful, nature-rich escape by the sea. **[Drone video of Heaven's Gate: CLICK](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBu_W4OSp_N/)** People flock to Pulau Mawar undoubtedly for the Heaven’s Gate view – a huge rock arch that opens to the view of the South China Sea. In Malay, it is also known as Gerbang Laut or in Chinese, “天堂之门”, which means “Door to Heaven”. Don’t be deceived by the photo; the actual rock arch is a lot bigger than it looks. **=> [Read more here](https://1step1footprint.com/pulau-mawar-heavens-gate/)** Pulau Mawar is located at the tip of Pantai Mawar beach, just a 30-minute drive north of Mersing Town/Jetty. Many years ago, it was indeed an island separated by a small strait from the mainland. However, after years of alternating high and low tides, a sandbank forms, connecting Pantai Mawar to Pulau Mawar. So, it is not a *Pulau,* an island anymore – totally accessible on foot! **Bukit Selantai** is a short but rewarding coastal hill hike known for its sweeping sea views and peaceful natural setting. The trail climbs gently through light forest and rocky terrain before opening up to panoramic vistas of the coastline, offshore islands, and turquoise waters. Suitable for beginners with a moderate fitness level. **[The hiking video](https://youtu.be/B34L21HUDBw)** **[For drone video, click](https://www.tiktok.com/@dronecococil/video/7536101625736269073)** **[Local breakfast](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kFmrDAxqd9n6KbgD9)** \- offers a variety of stalls with local Malaysian eats — similar to other food courts in Kota Tinggi\.

At February’s meeting, the whole 3 hours is about getting you face-to-face with our experienced local members for some local advice and mentoring. Here’s the whole agenda: 5:00 Free light dinner and networking tables, meet the vendors 6:00-6:15 Buy-Sell-Trade (Members) Guest Orientation (Non-Members) 6:15-8:00 p.m. **Build Relationships + Get Mentored Night!** We bet you’re figured out that the best way to profitably navigate a rapidly-changing market it to get with real people who already know how to find the deals, get them financed, get them fixed, and most importantly, get them sold or rented fast and profitably. That’s why we’re devoting a whole meeting to giving you the chance to build some real relationships with those experienced, supportive colleagues, ask them your ‘big picture’ questions, or even bring a deal that you’re working on to have them give their opinion. You’ll have the chance to sit with these mentors in small groups and make connections you want…we’ve got members who can answer questions on anything from getting financing to rehab to tenant issues, asset protection, wholesaling, shared housing, and more! If you’ve been intimidated by the success and knowledge of these folks (or just didn’t know who to go to for what questions), this is your chance to pick their brains in an easy, structured atmosphere where THAT’S WHY THEY’RE THERE! (If you’re more experienced yourself, how about showing up to BE a mentor for the night? After all, someone helped you when you got started…pass it on!) Members and first-time guests attend free; repeat guests are $35 (and for real, it’s cheaper to just join [HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/MembershipInfo.aspx) and get ALL the benefits of membership, including a free website for your business and 20 other educational and networking meetings every month than it is to keep paying that guest fee).

**Day 1 — Foundation & Deal Control** This two-day, end-of-month Real Estate Investing (REI) Intensive is designed for investors who want real traction, not theory. Day One is about controlling the deal flow. We break down how to find opportunities in today’s market, underwrite them correctly, and avoid the emotional and financial traps that wipe out most new and mid-level investors. You’ll learn how operators are sourcing deals right now, how to analyze markets and properties with discipline, and how to structure acquisitions so the numbers work before you ever swing a hammer. This is about building a repeatable system—not chasing the next shiny strategy. **Day 2 — Capital, Execution & Scale** Day Two shifts from deals to execution and scale. We go deep on renovation management, capital stack planning, and exit strategies—fix and flip, buy-and-hold, and hybrid plays—so you understand how to protect downside risk and maximize upside. You’ll see real case studies, real numbers, and real mistakes made by experienced operators, not influencers. The intensive closes by connecting the dots between education and action, showing you how to plug into ongoing coaching, deal opportunities, and higher-level collaboration for investors who are serious about building long-term wealth, not just doing a one-off deal.
