Malaysia is not the obvious place for a holiday, although this country in south east Asia has a lot to offer. Malaysia is located on two large islands, separated by the South China Sea, which contains many smaller islands. The country offers diverse scenery, ranging from lush tropical rain forests to beautiful white beaches, while the capital Kuala Lumpur is a dynamic mix of modern architecture and colonial buildings. It is home to the iconic Petronas Towers, once the world’s tallest building.
