Tranquil fishing village, picturesque hills, the world’s oldest rainforest and deserted white sand beaches. These are some of the natural ingredients that give Malaysia a rustic appeal. The locals are also known to be generous with their warm and hospitable ways and treat every guest like a family friend.

Malaysians enjoy a comfortable pace of life that leaves room for them to indulge in their favorite pastimes like top-spinning and kite-flying. One good way to experience Malaysia’s charm is to take a trip up the East Coast. Also visit Kuantan, here the clear waters of the South China Sea and endless beaches lure sun-seekers. Its royal past with the rich cultural heritage is another big attraction.
