Featured Destinations

Georgetown, Penang Georgetown, Penang Penang is unique in Malaysia because it has it all: fun beaches, beautiful resorts, rich history, diverse culture and delicious food. Penang gets its name from the Malay word 'pinang,' in reference to the areca plant, which grew on the island in abundance. In the 15th century it was a quiet place populated by small Malay communities, attracting the interest of some southern Indian betel merchants. By the time Francis Light, an agent for the British East India Company, arrived in 1786, the island was already on the maps of European, Indian, and Chinese traders. Light landed on the northeast part of the island, where he began a settlement after an agreement with the sultan of Kedah. He called the town Georgetown, after King George III. Georgetown became Britain's principal post in Malaya, attracting Europeans, Arabs, northern and southern Indians, southern Chinese, and Malays from the mainland and Sumatra to trade and settle.	Destination Guide
Ipoh Ipoh This city in northwestern Malaysia was founded by Chinese tin miners and continues to be populated primarily by ethnic Chinese to this day. Situated 110 mi/180 km northeast of Kuala Lumpur, it is mainly a stop-off for tourists traveling north to south, but the city does have some interesting features and has been discovered by a wave of young tourists. Apart from just wandering the streets lined with old Chinese shops, the main attractions are the two Buddhist cave temples, Sam Poh Tong and Perak Tong. The better of the two is Sam Poh Tong, which has a turtle pond, garden and vegetarian restaurant. Go during a prayer service to hear ethereal chants and drum playing. Also of interest is the spectacular limestone or karst scenery in the region. The train station is also a fine old heritage building, and the weekend markets on Concubine Lane are well worth exploring. About 15 mi/24 km south of Ipoh at Gopeng is Gua Tempurung, one of the longest caves in Peninsular Malaysia. The impressive chambers of the 2-mi-/3-km-long cave can be explored with local guides. Perak (Ipoh is located in this state) is also one of the best places to find the giant rafflesia flower in bloom. Starting at the village of Ulu Geroh, about 7 mi/12 km from Ipoh, nature lovers can take a 90-minute trek into the jungle with an indigenous Orang Asli guide to see the plants (should they be in bloom) and hundreds of Rajah Brooke butterflies. Adventure tourists should head to the Kampar River at Gopeng where white-water rafting trips are available.	Destination Guide
Cameron Highlands Cameron Highlands The Cameron Highlands is a group of elevated rolling hills located in Pahang, West Malaysia and can match the size of Singapore. The area was named after its British expedition leader William Cameron in 1885. He discovered that the Highlands had a suitable climate to cultivate tea. This news traveled throughout Britain and soon after, English colonists settled at the Cameron Highlands. By 1930, the Cameron Highlands became the center of tea production and the biggest in Malaysia. Visitors today can stay at what was once English Colonial houses preserved and modified into hotels and guesthouses, tour the Sungai Palas BOH Tea Estate, hike the scenic tea plantations down to Tanah Rata village, swim beneath Robinson Waterfall and visit the night market.	Destination Guide
Kuala Lumpur Kuala Lumpur Malaysia's capital rises like a vision from the deep jungles. Its fascinating array of architectural styles includes Malay stilt villages, Islamic minarets, Hindu temples, Chinese shop houses and the indescribable opulence of the Royal Palace. In the background rise the world's tallest buildings, the Petronas Twin Towers completed in 1996.	Destination Guide
Malacca (Melaka) Malacca (Melaka) Malacca City, also known as Melaka, is situated 95 miles south of Malaysia's capital of Kuala Lumpur, in Malacca state. In the days of the great sailing ships, the port was one of the busiest on the peninsula. Shipping now is confined to coastal trade, because the harbour is inaccessible to ocean-going vessels. A large number of Chinese settled here, followed by masses of European colonizers, including the Portuguese, British and Dutch. Today evidence of all these colonies remain, both in the culture and architecture.	Destination Guide
Singapore Singapore One of Asia's great economic successes, Singapore has fused diverse cultures into one dynamic nation. Behind high-tech industries and high-rise buildings lives a society with an ingrained sense of conservative Confucian values. Beneath the westernized modernity beats a totally Asian heart. Strong beliefs center around extended families, filial piety, discipline, respect and Asian work ethics. Singapore’s name, meaning "Lion City," can be traced to the 13th century, and today there is the mythical Merlion, half-lion, half-fish, standing guard at the mouth of the Singapore River as the symbol of Singapore. A recent advertising campaign billed Singapore as "A Fine City."	Destination Guide
