Top 6 Must Visit Places in Malaysia
Malaysia has boomed in recent times, developing a modern nation from a colonial past. This is one of the world"s great ancient and modern trade route countries, with resort accommodation and luxury hotels catering for the business community as well as the tourist industry.Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is the capital and the showpiece of modern Malaysia. The Malaysians are justly proud of this big modern city, largely developed after the colonial period. "KL" is the usual start point for a Malaysian holiday, and if you want to start off with a real eye opener, a good look around Kuala Lumpur
will reward you.
The sights and contrasts of Kuala Lumpur are unforgettable. Near the famous Petronas Towers are still some reminders of the past. Malaysia"s diverse mix of cultures also provides a huge range of sights and sounds, including Chinatown, Putrajaya, Little India, and even religious caves.
There are many beautiful parks and gardens in the Lake Gardens, a favorite place of the British colonial social set in Kuala Lumpur. Near the giant Petronas Towers, a tiny deer, the size of a house cat, called a mousedeer or "kancil", lives protected. The 20 hectare Kuala Lumpur Bird Park contains real birds of paradise. There"s even a Butterfly Garden, with 120 species.
Sabah
Sabah is a wonderland, with everything including the island which hosted the first "Survivor" TV show. There"s a world packed into this place, including a choice of fabulous beaches, and truly unique shopping on Gaya Street Sunday Markets, and that"s all practically within sight of your hotel. The famous orangutans and the rest of the natural environment aren"t far away, either. You can see why so many people love to explore Sabah"s green paradise.
Gunung Mulu (Sarawak)
The World Heritage Gunung Mulu Caves in Sarawak are the world"s longest. These caves are the true caver"s sort of place. The cave system is so complex that even the website needs 4 different links to regional caves to provide pictures of it. The Southern Hills, Hidden Valley, Gunung Api and Gunung Benarat caves are also set in some fantastically beautiful scenery, typical of Sarawak"s diverse natural world.
Pahang
Pahang State could have been designed as a tourist resort. It has brilliant beaches, offshore islands, dazzling resort accommodation, a national park and a wildlife reserve, mountains, forests, and that"s just in one sentence. Pahang"s assets are stunning. The South China Sea on its coast has hypnotized visitors for centuries with its fabulous beauty. Pahang is also 48% forest, and a mere 11% is urban. Aesthetically, that"s good news for any tourist, a place where you can really go on holiday from the rat race.
Malaysia contains a truly surprising combination of tourist attractions. The country is unique in its range of sites, activities, and the best in tourist luxuries.
