About Malaysia
Twin towers, rainforest islands and a feast of cultures
Malaysia is Asia in one country — the gleaming Petronas Towers of Kuala Lumpur, the cave temples of Batu, the rainforest beaches of Langkawi, and the heritage streets of George Town, all seasoned by a Malay, Chinese and Indian melting pot.
Ride to a sky bridge, island-hop the Andaman coast, trek some of the world's oldest rainforest, and graze hawker stalls for nasi lemak and laksa — a warm, easy and incredibly tasty introduction to Southeast Asia.
Local Culture
Malaysia's identity is its diversity — Malay, Chinese and Indian communities living side by side, their mosques, temples and churches sharing the skyline. Festivals from Hari Raya to Deepavali fill the calendar, and food is the great unifier, eaten morning to midnight at hawker stalls and kopitiams.
