Top 10 Attractions in Malaysia for Tourists 

 

If countries are rewarded for diversity, it will be Malaysia first. Malaysia is not only a melting pot of national cultures but also a fusion of many different customs, cuisines and religions, all of which coexist peacefully. From vast islands to mountains, lush highlands and rainforests, the country’s geographical environment are equally diverse.

In addition, Malaysia is a unique country, divided into two mainland categories in Malaysia. West Malaysia is located in the southern half of the peninsula shared with Thailand, while the other side of the South China Sea is located in East Malaysia on the island of Borneo. The focus of Malaysia’s best tourist destinations is a mix of cultural, historical and natural attractions.
