About Malaysia

Malaysia is a popular country in South East Asia for travelers. Its capital city, Kuala Lumpur, offers numerous attractions and landmarks worth your visits. Malaysia also has beautiful nature and rich cultural heritage. For those who prefer something modern, there are destinations with high-tech features you cannot miss. Malaysia tour packages are especially popular. Malaysia’s geography is unique because it is split into two main regions, separated by the South China Sea. The highest peak in Malaysia is the peak of Mount Kinabalu, which stands 4,095.2m high above Sabah (the Borneo part). Despite being the capital and the biggest city in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is not the center of government. The city of Putrajaya has that honor, but Kuala Lumpur is still revered as the center of trade and tourism.  The city is very modern, with reliable public transportation, a lot of restaurants and accommodations, and family-friendly destinations. Other popular areas in Malaysia include Ipoh, Kuching, Kinibalu City, Johor Bahru, George Town, Melaka, and Petaling Jaya. Each has its own unique characteristics, giving visitors great opportunities to explore different sides of Malaysia. Malaysian people are very diverse, consisting of several cultural backgrounds and ethnicities. The country is a home for the Malayan, Chinese, Indian, and people from other Asian countries. The largest population is Malayan, but Malaysian culture seamlessly blends various cultural aspects. Malaysia’s tourism industry is quite developed. The most recommended destinations include Petronas Towers, Mount Kinabalu, Batu Caves, Resort World Genting, Bintang Hill, Sipadan, and many more. You will need a lot of time to explore every wonder Malaysia has to offer. The easiest way to reach Malaysia is by plane. Malaysia has several large airports, such as Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Penang International Airport, and Langkawi International Airport. All of them serve domestic and international flights, both direct and with transits.  You can also reach Malaysia with land transportation from Singapore.
