Places Worth Visiting
The capital city Kuala Lumpur is perfect for those looking to experience the vibrant city life with towering skyscrapers, culinary delights, and shopping opportunities. There's a bustling atmosphere around the clock, and plenty to explore in this modern metropolis. A diverse array of dishes is available, with Asian cuisine being a prominent feature. For a memorable dining experience, head to the SkyBar at Traders Hotel where you can enjoy a meal with a panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur's skyscrapers, including the iconic Petronas Towers. In terms of activities, you can visit Berjaya Times Square, a large shopping complex featuring an indoor theme park, or explore Aquaria KLCC, a two-story aquarium showcasing 250 species of aquatic and terrestrial animals. A highlight here is the 90-meter-long underwater tunnel allowing close encounters with sharks and stingrays. For shopping enthusiasts, Pavilion offers a wide range of stores from renowned international fashion houses. A recommended way to travel is the monorail, which provides a scenic ride around the city, including stops at shopping hotspots like Bukit Bintang.
Another must-visit location in Malaysia is Borneo, the world's third-largest island, which offers jungles, rainforests, and beautiful beaches. In contrast to the bustling city life of Kuala Lumpur, Borneo provides tranquility and stunning natural landscapes. Here you can find wild orangutans, particularly within the national parks of Tanjung Puting and Semenggoh. The beaches are home to majestic sea turtles and a trip to Gaya Island offers opportunities for snorkeling, diving, canoeing, and exploring vibrant marine life. For a challenge, consider climbing Southeast Asia’s highest peak, Mount Kinabalu, where the summit delivers breathtaking views of the jungle.
For those seeking sun and relaxation, Penang and Langkawi on the Malay Peninsula are highly recommended. In Penang, visiting Georgetown is a must; it presents a blend of the old and the new with its markets and temples. Notable here is the famous Eastern and Oriental Hotel, once a favorite of renowned film stars.
