Malaysia is the rising star of South-East Asian tourism, a nation looking to the future whilst cherishing the ways of the past. Centuries of trade have resulted in a vibrant mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous tribal cultures, creating a veritable melting pot of peoples, traditions and religions. The magnificent landscape is no less diverse - dense jungles, soaring peaks and lush tropical rainforests harbour an abundant flora and fauna. Tropical island resorts and endless white, sandy beaches offer a taste of paradise, while beneath warm coral seas, world-class dive sites await exploration.

Kuala Lumpur, the country's showpiece, is a city of skyscrapers, contrasting vividly with historic Malacca, the ancient heart of the Malay culture. Old colonial hill resorts offer refuge from summer heat, while exotic Penang Island offers a heady mix of traditional culture and resort fun.  Beyond peninsular Malaysia, yet more delights await on the stunning Langkawi islands and with the unique tribal cultures of Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia's provinces on Borneo.

Malaysia's third largest city, Ipoh, known as 'the city of millionaires' due to its tin mining wealth, mixes the grand colonial days with modern architecture, such as at the train station.  Another place well worth a visit is the Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary, with over 160 species on display. 

Year-round sunshine, superb scenery and a relaxed atmosphere ensure Malaysia's continued reputation as a first-class beach destination. Recent promotions of the country as a shopping paradise and eco-tourism centre will doubtless draw many more people to discover the fabulous diversity of this beautiful country.

Malaysia is spread across a network of islands encompassing an eclectic collage of ethnic groups, cultures and religions. The economic and spiritual heart is the impressive capital of Kuala Lumpur on Peninsular Malaysia, while other mainland cities worth visiting include the haunting colonial beauty of Georgetown on the island of Penang and the ramshackle sprawl of Malacca in southern Malaysia. On the western and eastern coasts of Peninsular Malaysia a myriad of islands, many blessed with stunning beaches, recline in the tropical sun and to the east the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak boast their own charms, including superb beaches and unspoilt wilderness.
