Malaysia is a multicultural country of diverse culture, people and beauty. Local Malay, Chinese and Indian influences are felt right across the country, from its stunning rural villages to modern cities like Kuala Lumpur, home of the towering Petronas Towers. A key attraction of this fascinating and colourful country is its extreme contrasts. Majestic high-rise offices tower above wooden houses built on stilts, while opulent luxury five-star hotels reside near ancient reefs. Delightful highlands landscapes blend effortlessly with pristine beaches and rich, steamy mangroves. The vast multicultural nature of Malaysia is evident in the vibrant festivals held regularly throughout the country and its gastronomical delights. If you love food, this is the country to visit for delicious Chinese-Malay cuisine, an Indian banana leaf curry, a Chinese buffet or a spicy dish from a Malay food stall. The beauty of Malaysia lies in the fusion of it all into a country that is one of the safest, most stable and easiest to enjoy in Southeast Asia.
