MALAYSIA
|
 |
Malaysia is a
fantastic fusion of Malay, Chinese and Indian
cultures and customs while at the same time offering
jungle and wildlife, vibrant cities, glorious
golden beaches, magic islands and the enchanting
remnants of Dutch colonial architecture. Its capital
Kuala Lumpur is where every visit begins and it
is as modern and sophisticated as any 21st century
city with five star hotels, great restaurants,
fantastic shopping, the teeming neighbourhoods
of Chinatown and Little India as well as one of
the world’s tallest buildings.
Most visitors head off to the beach resorts of
Penang, stopping briefly at the island’s capital
Georgetown, a city which hasn’t changed in almost
a century, or to the paradise island of Pangkor
Laut to enjoy and relax in the warms waters of
the South China Sea edged by golden sands and
fringed by rainforest. While the more adventurous
will head off to Sabah and the Sepilok Orang-Utan
Rehabilitation Centre, one of only four of its
kind in the world. Others will pause for a few
days in the Cameron Highlands, right in the centre
of the Malay peninsula and where both locals and
visitors go to escape the heat and humidity of
the towns and cities. It is also the centre of
the tea industry and one of the highlights of
a stay here is a plantation tour. Jungle walks
and golf are also available for the active. |
