Kuala Lumpur, known as "KL" by the locals, was founded
as recently as the 1890s. Although still a young city, Malaysia's capital
offers a multicultural heritage which is reflected in its architecture
– mosques and temples stand beside colonial buildings and modern
tower blocks. Sights to see include the King’s Palace, the National
Mosque, the Railway Station and the many beautiful parks and sanctuaries.
If you’ve a mind to shop, KL competes with
other Far East cities as a bargain shopper’s paradise, offering
a vast array of modern shopping malls and traditional markets. All this
makes KL a great base from which to explore the fascinating country
of Malaysia.
Outside Kuala Lumpur:
Apart from Malaysia’s superb beaches, this country has some magnificent
national parks containing wonderful scenery. Taman Negara in the central
state of Pahang is home to the world’s oldest tropical rainforest.
From the comfortable surroundings of the Taman Negara Resort it is possible
to explore the nooks and crannies of this amazing region and discover
the huge variety of its flora and fauna.
The Cameron Highlands, to the north of Kuala Lumpur, lie at an average
altitude of 1500 metres and offer a pleasantly cool climate, temperate
rainforests, tea plantations and the flavour of life in a hill station
from a bygone era. The city of Malacca was once a trading post for ships
from China, India, Arabia and South America, so has a rich, colourful
history. With Dutch, Portuguese and Chinese influences over the centuries
it offers a unique and interesting addition to any itinerary.
