Malaysia with its capital Kuala Lumpur is the rising star of South-East Asian tourism, a nation looking to the future while cherishing the ways of the past.
Centuries of trade have resulted in a vibrant mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous tribal cultures, creating a veritable melting pot of peoples, traditions and religions.
The magnificent landscape is no less diverse: dense jungles, soaring peaks and lush tropical rainforests harbor an abundant flora and fauna. Tropical island resorts and endless white, sandy beaches offer a taste of paradise, while beneath warm coral seas, world-class dive sites await exploration.
