Malaysia Travel Overview
Geographically, Malaysia is as diverse as its culture. There are two
parts to the country, 11 states in the peninsula of Malaysia and two
states on the northern part of Borneo. Cool hideaways are found in the
highlands that roll down to warm, sandy beaches and rich, humid
mangroves. The peninsula is a multicultural buffet of
Malay, Chinese and Indian flavours while Borneo hosts a wild jungle
smorgasbord of orang-utans, granite peaks and remote tribes. Within and
throughout these two very different regions are an impressive variety
of microcosms ranging from the space-age high-rises of
Kuala
Lumpur to the smiling longhouse villages of
Sarawak and
the calm, powdery beaches of the
Mabul Island in
Sabah.
One of Malaysia's key attractions is its extreme contrasts. Towering
skyscrapers look down upon wooden houses built on stilts, and five-star
hotels sit several meters away from ancient reefs. For the perfect
holiday full of surprises, eclectic cultures and natural wonders, the
time is now, the place is Malaysia. A unique feature of Malaysian
celebrations are open houses where friends of other races and
communities mix with much merry making and festivity. The country has a
strong tradition of dance and dance dramas, some of Thai, Indian and
Portuguese origin.
Malaysia islands
are some of the most intriguing dive spots in the world, as well as
where to stay when you get there. Visiting the
Malaysia islands on
the coastal line is best Island tours. Malaysia has two seasons, a dry
and a wet season. The rainy season in Malaysia is from November to
February but funny enough, It is not raining the whole day in this time
of the year. In fact, most of the time it's dry but you can expect
showers.
