Malaysia is a gem of Southeast Asia. It’s a country full of contrasts, from its modern skyscrapers mixed with colonial architecture to bustling cities and quaint towns.

Multiethnic and multicultural, this nation’s diversity is reflected in its people, politics and traditions. Malaysia has one of the most diverse landscapes on the planet, with beautiful sandy beaches, mountains, islands, and rainforests. Gunung Mulu National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the country, with hot springs, caves (and the bats inhabiting them), and plenty of trails for trekking.

Malaysia is home to some unique spots: The Cameron Highlands with lavender and strawberry farms, a tea plantation, and herbal gardens, and Borneo Rainforest, one of the oldest rainforests in the world and a natural refuge for wildlife including Bornean orangutans.

The cuisine of Malaysia reflects the multi-ethnic population, with many cultures influencing the food served. Enjoy all Malaysia offers on an adventure with Travel Teen Network!
