What makes Malaysia such a good tourist destination for a family or a single traveler? You’ll find out in the comprehensive guide provided below.

The Architecture Of Kuala Lumpur

Chinatowns

A lot of Asian countries have their very own Chinatowns, but nobody does it quite like Malaysia. This is a country that has been long influenced by the Chinese way of life. When visiting the Chinatowns in Malaysia, you’ll want to visit the Kuan Yin Teng Temple, which is more than 200 years old! You should also take the time to enjoy the street fare and local restaurants. They’ll give you a rare glimpse into modern Chinese culture, without needing to visit China. So, you can virtually visit two countries in one by traveling to Malaysia’s amazing Chinatown.

Hiking For Thrill Seekers

Are you an adrenaline junkie? If so, you’ll most definitely want to consider visiting Malaysia for the mountains. This country might not be considered a hiking hotspot, but it has a handful of amazing hiking spots that you’ll definitely want to check out. For the best time, you need to visit Mount Kinabalu, which is located in the state of Sabah. This mountain contains miles of hiking trails, which pass through many different vegetation zones. If you want to reach the summit, you’ll probably need to spend more than one day on the mountain. Nevertheless, it’ll prove to be well worth your time. The views from the top are simply amazing.

f you sign up for one of the Malaysia tour packages, there is a pretty good chance that you’re going to be invited to dive.
