INTRESTING PLACES IN MALAYSIA

MALAYSIA'S CAPITAL AND LARGEST CITY
HAS MUCH TO OFFER TRAVELERS.
PERHAPS BEST KNOWN FOR THE
PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS (THE WORLD'S
TALLEST TWIN TOWERS), KL IS A VERY
POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION AND
ROUTINELY MAKES THE LIST OF TOP 10
MOST VISITED CITIES IN THE WORLD.

KUALA LUMPUR IS CONSIDERED ONE OF
THE BEST SHOPPING DESTINATIONS IN
SOUTHEAST ASIA-NOT ONLY DOES THE
CITY HAVE ALMOST 70 SHOPPING
CENTERS, BUT IT'S ALSO FULL OF
INDOOR/OUTDOOR MARKETS

TIOMAN IS THE DEFAULT DESTINATION
FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR A SIMPLER,
ROUGHER BEACH LIFE - A PLACE WHERE
BEACHES REMAIN UNDERDEVELOPED,
THERE ARE FEW ROADS, AND YOU'RE
LIKELY TO SHARE THE SAND WITH THE
OCCASIONAL MACAQUE OR OTHER
WILDLIFE AS YOU WALK AROUND THE
ISLAND

FOR NON-DIVERS, TIOMAN ISLAND IS
ALSO A GREAT STARTING POINT FOR
KAYAKING, AND IT'S FILLED WITH JUNGLE
TREKKING OPPORTUNITIES. ORGANIZED
TOURS CAN TAKE YOU SNORKELING TO
MARINE PARK AND RINGGIS ISLANDS, AND
THERE ARE ALSO SPECIAL ORGANIZED
TRIPS TO VISIT BENUT BEACH, A TURTLE
SANCTUARY

THE TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN NATIONAL
PARK IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT TOURIST
ATTRACTION-A PARK THAT COVERS
ALMOST FIVE HECTARES AND SPREADS
OVER FIVE ISLANDS. IT OFFERS VISITORS
CHANCES TO SUNBATHE ON THE SLOPING,
WHITE, SANDY BEACH; EXPLORE THE
CORAL REEFS; OR TAKE TO THE MANY
HIKING TRAILS THAT CUT THROUGH THE

NEARBY MOUNT KINABALU (FROM WHERE

THE CITY GETS ITS NAME), IS MALAYSIA'S

HIGHEST MOUNTAIN AND A HIGHLY

ORANGUTANS AND THE GIANT VINE

KNOWN AS RAFFLESIA-WITH FIVE-

PETALED FLOWERS THAT CAN REACH UP

TO ONE METER IN DIAMETER), CLIMBING

IS ONLY POSSIBLE IN THE COMPANY OF

PARK RANGERS

JUNGLE TREKKING IS ANOTHER MAJOR
DRAW, AS PATHS HERE ZIGZAG THROUGH
THE ISLANDS, CONNECTING BEACHES
WITH EACH OTHER AND CUTTING
THROUGH DENSE FORESTS WHERE

THE CAMERON HIGHLANDS IS A HILLY REGION WITH A
LONG TRADITION OF TEA GROWING ON THE SLOPING
