Have you ever tried to get an impression of the resort from its photos? Hotel websites often do not provide an opportunity to create an idea of the location of the hotel. Tourist reviews are too subjective. It is not a fact that what they liked will please you, and vice versa. But the pictures … Of course, they can be processed in Photoshop, but in the case of such an incredibly beautiful country as Malaysia, this is not necessary. What is there? Bright butterflies, lush greenery of the jungle, tea plantations on the mountain slopes shrouded in mist, snow-white beaches, megacities sparkling with neon lights, ancient temples and noisy bazaars - all this is Malaysia. Photos seem to fascinate you and beckon you to see everything with your own eyes. So let's take this virtual trip to the land of tropical dreams!

Map of Malaysia

First, a few dry facts about this country. The territory of Malaysia occupies part of the mainland, and also many islands, each of which is unique in its own way. There are tropical rainforests, mountains, andbeaches. The capital of the state is the city of Kuala Lumpur. This is not the only metropolis in the country. If you miss the urban lifestyle, welcome to Johor Bahru, George Town or Kuantan. But the real rest in Malaysia, the photos are from completely different places: Sipadan, Penang, Langkawi. Looking at these pictures, you involuntarily doubt: is it possible in our XXI century to find such uncrowded beaches with the purest, like powdered sugar sand, such turquoise lagoons with clear water anywhere in the world? Yes, that's a fact. At a time when there is nowhere for an apple to fall in Goa, the resorts of Thailand or Vietnam, patriarchal bucolics have been preserved in Malaysia. Local residents, mostly Muslims, have not yet experienced the pernicious influence of Western culture. Therefore, when visiting temples or villages, dress modestly.

How to get there, when is the best time to visit the country

On how to fly to a fabulous country called Malaysia, photos do not give an idea, so we will briefly tell you about it. From Moscow, Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg, only charters fly to Kuala Lumpur during the peak season, which falls on the winter months and also on the May holidays. But it should be remembered that there are places in Malaysia where there is no pronounced rainy season, and you can relax there all year round. This is the west coast, as well as the islands of Pangkor, Penang and Langkawi. And in the eastern part of the country, it is most comfortable to relax from May to September. You can get to Malaysia by regular flights with transfers in Doha or Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Beijing orTashkent, Bangkok or Singapore. You can use the services of European air carriers - KLM, Air France or Lufthansa. Then connecting flights will be in Amsterdam, Paris or Frankfurt. Travel time varies from fourteen hours to a day.

Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur

Tourist photos usually present the country as a place of quiet idyllic relaxation. And it is. For those who like foam discos on the beach, it is best to go to the Spanish Ibiza, the Indian state of Goa or Thailand, to the island of Koh Phangan. However, in Malaysia, nightlife lovers can find what they need. Meet Kuala Lumpur, the greenest capital of Asia! The metropolis received this title for the abundance of parks. Unlike Bangkok, it is extremely easy to breathe here, and the streets are shady. At the same time, the metropolis is rich in ultra-modern buildings. Photos and postcards necessarily represent the twin towers of the Petronas Twin Towers. They have 88 floors. Between the buildings on the 41st level there is a bridge that serves as an observation deck. The tourist program also includes visiting the Royal Palace, Sri Mahamariam Temple, butterfly and orchid parks and Chinatown. Well, after sunset, you can light up in one of the nightclubs until the morning. The most popular are The Beach and Bollywood. Both are on P. Ramlee Street. It's always fun at El Nino near the Nikko hotel.

Bazaars, souvenirs, shopping

Only in spontaneous bazaars you can feel the whole oriental flavor of the country of Malaysia. A photodisplay endless rows of batik, silver and gold ornaments, straw weaving and fine wood carvings. Shopping lovers can ask the price of quite European goods: electronics, watches, household appliances. Real Malay souvenirs can be found in the labyrinths of the Chinatown of the capital, as well as on the streets of Masjid India and Jalan Melayu. Kuala Lumpur's Petaling Street is also known for its shopping malls. You can buy not only in the capital, but even in the smallest resort in the country.

Hotels

The hotel base is well developed in Penang, Langkawi, as well as in that part of the island of Kalimantan (Borneo), which is occupied by Malaysia. Rest - the photos show it with all evidence - there will be idyllic. If you like hotels with large buildings, choose Penang. Elsewhere, hotels consisting of bungalows predominate. There are three, four and five star hotels here. Holidays in Borneo are a bit cheaper. Budget hotels are classified into "bed and breakfast", "guesthouse", "resthouse", small hotels and boarding houses. The plugs here are of the English type. The adapter can be bought in the store or taken at the reception.

Malaysia: photos of beaches

Wherever the hotel is located, on the first line or away from the sea, the beaches are still common. This is both a plus (you can choose a place for sunbathing to your liking), and a minus (no one is responsible for the missing things). However, the risk of losing your wallet in Malaysia is minimal - the crime rate here is low. Wherever you go in Malaysia, excellentbeach vacation is guaranteed. But the Langkawi archipelago is still famous for its healing sand. It is located in the Strait of Malacca. Only four of the 99 islands are inhabited. These are Pulau Langkawi, Dayang Bunting, Singa and Tuba. There are many minerals in the local volcanic sand. He treats osteochondrosis and rheumatism. In addition, the beaches here are multi-colored: the sand on Black Sands is blue-black, on Wet Rice it is snow-white, and on Payar it is pink. The most picturesque place in Langkawi is Tanjong Rhu. And Pasir Hitam Beach is interesting because white and black grains of sand are mixed here.

Malacca

Do you want to feel the atmosphere of old Malaysia? Then the ancient capital of Malacca is waiting for you. This city is located 150 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur. Here you will find everything that Malaysia is famous for. The capital, whose photos are very interesting, is known for its ancient temples. The oldest Chinese monastery complex, Cheng Hun Teng, is also located in Malacca. There is also a Christian shrine here - the Church of St. Paul. It rises not far from the mighty fortress of Athamos. To get to know the sights of Malacca better, just stop at the resort of Port Dickson. There are marvelous beaches and excellent tourist infrastructure.

Penang

This island near Malacca has long been connected to the mainland by bridges. There are many Buddhist and Hindu temples here. But they are the hallmark of the country of Malaysia. Photos of temples of Serpents (poisonous reptiles lie there right on the altar), Dragon Mountains, Black Water or Ten Thousand Buddhas are replicated on postcards and posters. ATMount Penang rises in the center of the island with an observation deck at the top. The main city, Georgetown, is reminiscent of the British Raj. It was built on the site of the military fort Cornwallis. Christians can visit the church of St. George. There is also a Chinese temple Kuan Yin Teng.
