Malaysia Tourist Destinations Guide

Geographically, Malaysia has 13 states and 3 federal territories that form Peninsular and East Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur in Peninsular Malaysia serves as the country’s capital. Aside from its traditionally ingrained cultural roots (seen in the various pockets of olden-days charm littered across the city), the city itself represents Malaysia’s thriving economy and rapidly developing landscape. To many travellers, it is a haven for shopping, food-hunting, and stunning architectural feats. To the East lies Sabah and Sarawak, who collectively form East Malaysia. Diversity in cultural and geographic is one of the main attractions of Malaysia, from towering buildings to wooden houses (Sarawak Long Houses) built on stilts and 5 stars accommodations stand just feet away from healthy, colourful reefs. Venture inward and visitors will be charmed by the primitive forests and rare species of wildlife that have lived there for generations. All adding up to some truly magnificent scenery, this little South-East Asian country offers a wonderful vacation getaway intertwined with nature.
