6. 10 Top Tourist Attractions in Malaysia
The Cameron Highlands is one of Malaysia’s most extensive hill
stations, first developed by the British in the 1920s. It has a
population of more than 34,000 people consisting of Malays,
Chinese, Indians and other ethnic groups. The Cameron Highlands is
renowned for its trails. They lead visitors through the forest to
waterfalls and other tranquil spots. Apart from its jungle walks, the
sanctuary is also known for its tea plantations and visitors can book
several “tea factory” tours.

7. Named after Britain’s King George III, Georgetown City is located on
the north-east corner of Penang Island. Most of George Town’s population
is of Chinese origin. Due to strict controls, George Town retains many of
its colonial-era shophouses to this day. It is officially recognized as
having a unique architectural and cultural townscape without parallel
anywhere in Southeast Asia. The town truly springs to life in the
evenings, when most of the locals head to the nearby street hawkers to
have their meals and drinks.

8. Taman Negara, which literally means “national park” in Malay, is
one of the oldest tropical rain forest in the world. It features
massive trees, waterfalls, jungle treks of various duration and the
world’s longest canopy walkways. Several trails enable the visitor to
explore the forest without a guide. Taman Negara is a haven for
endangered species such as the Asian elephant, tigers, leopards and
rhinos, but numbers are low and sightings are very rare. It’s unlikely
that you will see anything more than birds, small deer, lizards,
snakes and perhaps a tapir.

9. Palau Tioman is a small island located off the east coast of peninsular
Malaysia. In the 1970s, Time Magazine selected Tioman as one of the
world’s most beautiful islands. Tourists have surged to the island ever
since, seeking a taste of paradises. The island is surrounded by
numerous white coral reefs, making it a haven for scuba divers while
the interior is densely forested. Visitors outnumber villagers outside
the monsoon (November to February), but Tioman can be virtually
deserted at other times.

10. With a summit height at 4,095 meters (13,435 ft), Mount Kinabalu is
the highest mountain in Borneo. The mountain is known worldwide for
its tremendous botanical and biological species biodiversity. Over 600
species of ferns, 326 species of birds, and 100 mammalian species have
been identified at Mount Kinabalu and its surrounding. The main peak of
the mountain can be climbed easily by a person with a good physical
condition, and requires no mountaineering equipment although climbers
must be accompanied by guides at all times.

11. The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur were the world’s tallest
buildings before being surpassed in 2004 by Taipei 101. However, the
towers are still the tallest twin buildings in the world. The 88-floor
towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel
and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a
reflection of Malaysia’s Muslim religion. The Petronas Twin Towers
feature a sky bridge between the two towers on the 41st and 42nd
floors.

12. Malaysia’s best-known holiday destination, Langkawi is an archipelago
of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea. The islands are a part of the state
of Kedah, which is adjacent to the Thai border. By far the largest of
the islands is the eponymous Pulau Langkawi with a population of
about 65,000, the only other inhabited island being nearby Pulau
Tuba. Fringed with long, white beaches and with an interior of jungle
covered hills and craggy mountain peaks, it’s easy to see why this is
Malaysia’s most heavily promoted tourist destination. The most
popular beaches can be found on the west coast with a wide choice
of restaurants and eateries and some of the best resorts in Langkawi.

13. Located off the coast of northeastern Malaysia not far from the Thai
border. The Perhentian Islands are the must-go place in Malaysia for
budget travelers. They have some of the world’s most beautiful
beaches and great diving with plenty of cheap accommodation. The
two main islands are Perhentian Besar (“Big Perhentian”) and
Perhentian Kecil (“Small Perhentian”). Both the islands have palm-
fringed white sandy beaches and turquoise blue sea.

14. Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation opened in 1964 for rescued
orphaned baby orangutans from logging sites, plantations and illegal
hunting. The orphaned orangutans are trained to survive again in the
wild and are released as soon as they are ready. The Orang Utan
sanctuary is located within the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve, much of
which is virgin rainforest. About 60 to 80 orangutans are living free in
the reserve. It is one of Sabah’s top tourist attractions and a great
stopover on any Malaysia itinerary.

15. The Mulu Caves are located in the Gunung Mulu National Park in
Malaysian Borneo. The park encompasses incredible caves and karst
formations in a mountainous equatorial rainforest setting. The Sarawak
chamber found in one of the underground caves is the largest cave
chamber in the world. It has been said that the chamber is so big that it
could accommodate about 40 Boeing 747s, without overlapping their
wings. The enormous colony of Wrinkle-lipped bats in the nearby Deer
Cave exit almost every evening in search of food in a spectacular
exodus.
