If you fancy watching a naturally synchronised light show performed by fireflies or a chance to visit the Pearl of the Orient, Malaysia is the country to visit. Malaysia is a country full of exotic sights, natural beauty, and a rich diversity of land and culture.
If it is the fireflies that take your fancy, head for Kuala Selangor, north of Kuala Lumpur, the capital. The tiny insects gather in particular trees along the Sungai Selangor river and boat trips are constantly ferrying passengers to the ‘show trees’ for a dazzling display of lights. The Pearl of the Orient is the island of Penang, a popular tourist destination in the north of Malaysia. Here you can gaze at colonial architecture, visit the newest national park of Malaysia, and take a look at the largest Buddhist shrine in Malaysia.
Kuala Lumpur is the national capital and largest city in Malaysia. The city has grown considerably in the 20th century, being only 0.65 squared kilometres in 1895, compared to 243 squared kilometres today. The cosmopolitan metropolis features the worlds tallest building - the famous Petronas Twin Towers.
The jewel in the crown of magnificent Malaysia, Penang is one of the most treasured spots in South-East Asia. Penang is a rare kind of place where you can immerse yourself in the busy city vibes or isolate yourself from the rest of the world at one of the many sun-soaked beaches.
Looking to escape to a tropical sanctuary set in azure waters with a laid back vibe, reviving spas, superb cuisine, and pristine beaches? Then head for the island of Langkawi.
One of the most charming, beautiful and intriguing cities in Malaysia, Kuching is nestled on the sun-drenched island of Borneo. In the local language Kuching means cat.
