<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Ipoh,

Lost World of Tambun – Malaysia<\/p><\/div>\n

Ipoh is slightly more underrated, often slipping under the radar of even the most experienced of travellers. Ipoh is a place of good food, and wonderful natural scenery making it one of the best places to visit in Malaysia. Explore its grand water-themed park called Lost World of Tambun. Kek Long Tong Cave Temple Gardens and the Gunung Lang Recreational Park are scenic attractions that cannot be missed.<\/p>\n

2. Kuching<\/h2>\n
\"Kuching,

Kuching – Malaysia<\/p><\/div>\n

Most visitors flock to destinations like Penang and Malacca on the peninsula and often ignore this place. However, Malaysian Borneo has a lot to offer and Kuching is a great example of that. It houses beautiful heritage locations like Sarawak Museum and Chinese Museum. Visit an authentic Bidayuh tribe village and take a relaxing cruise on the Santubong River for a complete experience. If you want to experience something catty, head to the special Kuching Cat Museum, which is dedicated only, you guessed it, cats!<\/p>\n

3. Bukit Tinggi<\/h2>\n

Modelled after a French town, Bukit Tinggi is locally known as the Little France, replete with cobblestone pavements, street performances, cafes and European-style architecture. Learn the art of Japanese tea-making at a Zen-inspired Japanese village! Marvel at the wonderful architecture of the houses there.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

4. Sipadan<\/h2>\n

As enchanting as a visit to a grand aquarium may be, nothing beats swimming alongside schools of fish in person. Sipadan Island is one of the best places to visit in Malaysia for this ethereal experience. Go scuba-diving and snorkelling for a great experience. Relax and catch a sunset on its pristine beaches. You can also book yourself a yacht and explore the island if you are looking for a more relaxed holiday in Malaysia.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

5. Selangor<\/h2>\n

This place actually describes Malaysia’s most developed and populated state that leads up to Kuala Lumpur’s massive urban sprawl. Selangor is busy and booming; shopping malls sprawl as far as the eye can see. Don\u2019t miss the Formula One racetrack, the National Zoo of Malaysia, and enormous theme parks including an indoor snow park.
\nHead to the renowned Batu Caves, a beautiful sight to visit.<\/p>\n
