Tourist Attractions in Malaysia.

 Malaysia is a nation located in Southeast Asia, with a population of about 36.5 million people. It's divided into East and West Malaysia. The country's capital city is Kuala Lumpur. It shares land borders with the following countries: Brunei, Thailand, and Indonesia. It also shares maritime borders with the following countries: Vietnam, the Philippines, and Singapore. The country covers a territory of approximately 330803 square kilometers of land. Malaysia shares a variety  of tourist attractions, and these are the following:

                Perhentian Islands.

The eastern coast of Malaysia is quieter, more traditional, and somewhat isolated from the busier west coast by the mountains and jungles of the Peninsula's interior. Handily, the East Coast climate is the exact inverse of the West Coast, meaning that whenever you travel to Malaysia, there is a tropical paradise in season. 
Located off the northeast coast, accessible by traditional city Kota Bharu, the Perhentian Islands require a bit of effort to reach but are absolutely gorgeous island escapes, with several excellent accommodation options available.

                Penang.

The ‘Pearl of the Orient’, Penang, is a tropical city that offers it all: home to gastronomic delights, a mix of historic and modern architecture, soft white sandy beaches, and numerous excellent hotels. It's a diverse mix of cultures, modern developments juxtaposed with mosques, temples, and historic buildings. The coast is lined with sleepy fishing villages and luxury resorts. 
The colonial city of George Town is its multicultural capital with historic British buildings, magnificent mosques, and crumbling shophouses in its oldest section. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s also one of the top spots in all of Southeast Asia for mouth-watering street food.

                  Malacca.

 It is situated roughly equidistant between KL and Singapore – a characterful and convenient stopping point between the two. Along the cobbled streets, you’ll find impressive temples and Christ Church, Malaysia’s oldest functioning Protestant church, which dates back to 1753, and the Baba-Nyonya Heritage Museum, a collection of three gorgeous, restored homes arranged to look like a typical 19th-century Baba-Nyonya residence. At the summit of St. Paul’s Hill are the ruins of St. Paul’s Church, built on top of the palace ruins of the last Sultan of Malacca.   

                    Cameron Highlands.

Malaysia’s most popular highland retreat, the Cameron Highlands, sits at nearly 6562 feet at its highest point, enjoying a climate that’s cooler than the rest of the country, boasting a stunning landscape blanketed in emerald green. 
Travelers come to walk through charming villages and forests, visit waterfalls, sprawling emerald tea plantations, strawberry,  butterfly,  and honeybee farms, while escaping the sweltering heat of the lowlands. Both wildflowers and vegetables thrive here, with vendors selling organic onions, carrots, and cauliflower grown by local farmers along the main road in the eight loosely connected villages.

                      Langkawi.

  It is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, approximately 30 miles off the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia. Just two are inhabited. Pulau Tuba and Pulau Langkawi are the largest and most populated. Pristine sandy beaches, wildlife-filled jungles, and fantastic shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Langkawi’s striking beauty is found in forest parks, hot springs, and magnificent waterfalls. The island is not overly developed – although there are plenty of beach bars, seafood restaurants, and spas, it’s also home to villages that have managed to preserve local traditions.  

                      Tioman.

Sitting off Malaysia’s lower east coast, around 5 hours’ transfer from Singapore and 6 from Kuala Lumpur, Tioman is a small volcanic island with barely any tourism (or other) development…and all the better for it. The challenging transfers mean you’ll need to make a little extra effort to get hereю. It is absolutely worth it, with the island offering pristine and near-deserted white sand beaches and a mountainous interior that begs for exploration. The luxurious Japamala Resort is our pick here – one of the very best boutique beach retreats in all Southeast Asia. 

                   Pangkor Island.

Set in the Malacca Straits off Malaysia’s West Coast, around a 3-hour transfer from the capital KL, is the private island resort of Pangkor Laut. The pristine 300-acre island is carpeted in ancient rainforest and fringed with white sandy beaches, home to a variety of tropical wildlife, including macaques, hornbills, sea eagles, and monitor lizards. Pangkor Laut Resort is your base, offering impeccable private villa accommodations and a range of facilities, services, and activities. The resort has been previously declared the best in the world by Conde Nast and was a perennial favorite of famed Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti. 

                           Taman Negara.

 It's Peninsular Malaysia’s premier rainforest reserve. Housing patches of the world’s oldest primary rainforest. The journey into and out of the park is by longtail boat cruise; during your transfer, you might sight tapirs, stump-tailed, and long-tailed macaques. The most popular attraction here is the canopy walkway, the longest in the world, which spans a distance of 1,738 feet while hovering 147 feet above the forest floor. The canopy walk provides the park’s best observation point: monkeys are often seen bouncing through the trees, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a tiger, leopard, or elephant.

                     Kota Kinabalu National Park.

The provincial capital of Sabah, on the northeastern tip of Borneo, ‘KK’ is a historic and highly multicultural port city. Stay here in the city to enjoy its eclectic shopping and dining scene, or across on the luxurious island resorts of Gaya Island, just a 20-minute speedboat transfer away. Travelers can take trips into the lush Mount Kinabalu National Park, which features soaring Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in Southeast Asia. And a wide range of rainforests, hot springs, and tropical gardens. The park can be explored as a day trip from the city, or the more adventurous can attempt the challenging two-day climb to the summit.

                                 Danum Valley.

Deep in the steamy jungles of eastern Sabah lies the magical Danum Valley Conservation Area: a 438 sq km tract of millennia-old primary rainforest, home to a remarkable array of tropical flora and fauna, including orangutans, sun bears, clouded leopards, gibbons, proboscis monkeys, and over 250 rare bird species. 
Better yet, it is also home to one of the world’s greatest wildlife lodges – the Borneo Rainforest Lodge – where you can enjoy this extraordinary setting in supreme luxury. The highlight of your stay will be a tour of the incredible canopy walk, featuring 1000ft of rope bridges held up by 130-million-year-old ironwood trees, which take you dancing through the forest canopy, offering unparalleled views of the teeming jungle below.
