 Kuala Lumpur: Kuala Lumpur has boomed quickly into one of Asia’s most prominent metropolises, and offers sights including the Sultan Abdul Samad Building in pink and white, the National Museum that was built in the style of a Malaysian palace, the bustling street bazaars, and the famous landmark of the two Petronas Towers, the second tallest buildings in the world. |
 Melaka: Melaka, also known as Malacca, has strong Asian and European influences and the most historic charm in the country. While away a day seeing sights like the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia dating to 1646, the church of Sao Paolo, Saint Paul, also from the 17th century, Stadthuys, the large Dutch town hall dates from the mid 17th century and is believed to be the oldest Dutch building in Asia, and the antique shopping along Jalan Hang Jebat. |
 Georgetown: Over and above the beaches of Penang Island, and the golf courses and resorts, Georgetown is a singular destination in that it has held on to its strong Asian influences. See the Kuan Yin Teng Temple, one of the most popular temples in Georgetown, Fort Cornwallis, an 18th century British fort marking where Captain Light landed in 1786, the markets and evening stalls along the Esplanade behind Penang Library, or break away from the city and head to the top of Penang Hill which will give you a great view, and has gardens of its own. |
 Tioman Island: Ecotourists will love to visit Tioman Island, favored by folks from Singapore for decades as a prime place to enjoy nature and explore. Beaches, coral reefs, clear water and a variety of underwater life will make snorkelers and scuba divers happy, while unpopulated jungles, clear streams flowing from the mountains will make overland treks just as satisfying. There are resorts and villages as well, and most enjoy Pulau Tioman and Kampung Nipah. |
