Malaysia is a southeast asian country occupying parts of Malay peninsula and island of Borneo. It is known for its beaches, rainforests and mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European cultural influences. Its capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to colonial buildings, busy shopping districts such as Bukit Bintang and skyscrapers such as the iconic, 452m-tall Petronas twin towers. While the peninsula flaunts bustling cities, tea plantations and beautiful colonial architecture, Malaysian Borneo comprises wild jungles, remote tribes and granite peaks. The country presents a perfect balance of modern amenities and natural habitats. Kuala Lumpur boasts a shimmering skyline that is dominated by the Petronas. It is also the tourist hub of the country with magnificent attractions like Aquaria KLCC, Merdeka square, Batu caves, Istana Budaya, Thean Hou temple and a dozen of museums, parks, and shopping centers. Providing a striking contrast to it are the traditional longhouse villages and pristine rainforests in the state of Sarawak. One can spot orangutans, crocodiles, proboscis monkeys and the world’s largest flower – Rafflesia. Adventure seekers can take a ‘flying coffin’ riverboat up the Batang Rejang river or to the fascinating Bat caves and extraordinary rock formations of Gunung Mulu national park. The state of Sabah also lures tourists with its turquoise-fringed islands having mesmerizing coral reefs. Multi-ethnic and multicultural make-up of the society in Malaysia is evidently seen in the type of cuisine it offers. Chilli peppers, Belacan, Rempah, soy sauce, and coconut are indispensable to Malaysian kitchens. Lemongrass is a common herb used in preparations whereas fried tofu is served with most dishes as a side accompaniment. Malaysia is an amazing country, known for reflecting an eclectic blend of ancient customs, traditions and culture with a dash of modernity. Just a short drive away from the capital, there are islands, mountains, and record-breaking caves as well as countless temples and a unique chance to explore the fauna-rich jungle of Borneo. Beside these are the beaches, quaint towns, heritage sites and adventure spots. Whether you are looking for nature, architecture, relaxation or adventure, it fits everyone. Malaysia is a friendly, culturally rich nation that’s modern and comfortable yet has managed to retain its ecological beauty; and its landscape is dotted with temples that rub shoulders with mosques and churches. You can eat and drink your way as the choice of gastronomic offerings is legendary. Most importantly Malaysia has world-renowned attractions that make a trip immeasurably rewarding. Dive into the pristine waters of the east coast at Pulau Redang or make a beeline for the summit of Mount Kinabalu or visit Tunku Abdul Rahman park in Kota Kinabalu or even Bako national park, the list is limitless. Malaysia is also a popular destination for snorkeling and scuba diving, with beautiful coral reefs and soft sandy beaches. A melting pot for a good number of cultures that call Malaysia their home, you can find the same variety in all of the places and experiences here. Be it the daunting highs of the Petronas Twin towers or the beautiful underwater life at Aquaria KLCC or mesmerizing scene from Langkawi cable car or green-scapes of Cameron highlands or whatever, Malaysia is the true asian experience.
