From land to sea to mountainside, Malaysia’s magic is hard to describe
Bordered by white sand coastlines and filled with everything from wilderness and wildlife to modern metropolises and heritage cities, Malaysia is for every type of traveller. The outdoorsy have the jungles of Borneo and the mighty Mount Kinabalu; the animal lovers can spot the protected orangutangs, turtle hatchlings or pygmy elephants in Sabah, while the foodies have centuries of flavours to explore from east to west. Wanderers have their pick of cities ranging from the new-age KL, the gateway city of Koto Kinabalu, to the heritage, UNESCO streets of Georgetown. And, of course, the beaches. Need we say more?
