Malaysia is a huge melting pot of races where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live
together in peace and harmony. Malaysia has wide diversity in nature as much as
in its culture. British colonial background makes foreigners easy to interact with the locals. I am introducing the 5 most
visited destinations here, though everywhere in Malaysia can be a perfect
destination for your vacation.
1. KUALA LUMPUR

Kuala Lumpur, or KL as simply called by locals, is the federal capital and the biggest city in Malaysia. It is a perfect representation of the harmoniously multi-racial Malaysia, grown from a small Chinese tin mine village to a bustling metropolis of 7 million in just 150 years. The industrial and economical hub of Southeast Asia has everything you can expect for a tourist destination from historic monuments, skyscrapers, parks and mega sized shopping malls to street markets and trendy nightspots.

Just around a corner you have long sandy beaches, paradise islands, virgin coral reefs, tropical rain forests, and the 4,095 meters high mountain. You can go climbing to the Mount Kinabalu, diving in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and appreciate one of the world’s best sunset views from fancy beach bars in one city. They’ve also got enough luxury resorts for excited honeymooners.
3. LANGKAWI
