MALAYSIA - TRULY ASIA !!!
Pristine beaches. Mist-shrouded mountains. Undulating tea plantations. Mysterious jungles. A blend of Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures. Malaysia’s colonial past, its modern-day vibrancy and superb landscapes make it South East Asia’s most diverse destination.
Malaysia boasts fine beaches, as well as the world’s oldest tropical rainforest and some spectacular cave systems. You can experience the traditional way of life of the warm, engaging Malaysian people in many of the country’s rural villages.
You’ll find that the ultra-modern skyscrapers of the busy, bustling commercial centre of Kuala Lumpur are in complete contrast to the rest of the country’s fascinating culture and countryside. Your first impressions of Malaysia’s hi-tech, fast-growing west-coast capital are likely to be of a vibrant and colourful, if crowded, place. Traditionally, people have stayed just long enough to think about their next destination, but there are good reasons to stay a little longer. The food is excellent and its streets safe and friendly. Popularly known as ‘KL’, it is a compelling blend of old and new. Mosques of Moorish design, elaborate Chinese temples and Indian restaurants rub shoulders with modern high rises and top quality hotels. The city is undergoing a building boom, but while the streets can get gridlocked during rush hour, for those in the know, Kuala Lumpur offers some of the best shopping in Asia!
