A POTPOURRI OF ASIAN CULTURES "Malaysia, Truly Asia".....
Once central to the spice trade route, Malaysia has absorbed the influences of Malay, Indian, Chinese, Arabic, European, Peranakan and other cultures to create a rich culture and culinary heritage with its landscape dotted with temples that rub shoulders with mosques and churches.
In the capital Kuala Lumpur, old meets vibrant, modern and glittering skyscrapers combining with the traditional, Malaysia’s allure lies in its exciting blend of culture, cuisine and natural beauty.
Before Kuala Lumpur transformed from a malaria-infested jungle into a polished high-rise capital, Malacca was one of Malaysia’s most sought-after destinations and one of the greatest trading ports in South East Asia and home of the well-known Nyonya cuisine
What defines Malaysia is its equatorial rainforest, significant chunks of primary jungle are among the most ancient ecosystems on earth remaining intact, protected by national parks and conservation projects. The biodiversity is mind-boggling, from the pitcher plants, lianas and orchids of the humid lowlands, to the conifers and rhododendrons of high-altitude forests.
No trip to Malaysia is complete without a trip to across the South China Sea to Malaysian Borneo with its rich equatorial rainforests, orangutan-filled jungles, quaint tribal villages and warm and welcoming locals. Perhaps the icing on Malaysia's verdant cake is the chance to encounter wildlife in its natural habitat. The most common sightings will be a host of insects or colourful birdlife, but you could get lucky and spot a foraging tapir, a silvered leaf monkey, or an orangutan swinging through the jungle canopy.
The oceans are just as bountiful, snorkel or dive among shoals of tropical fish, paint-box dipped corals, turtles, sharks and dolphins.
Delicately bordering the abundant seas, along the coast you find traditional kampung villages, lively resorts and islands offering secluded beachside retreats.
