Standing within South-East Asia, the country of Malaysia lies on a long peninsula on the Asian mainland, and also occupies a northern territory on the island of Borneo. Peninsula Malaysia borders Thailand to the north, while the island state of Singapore is to the south, being linked by both a causeway and bridge.
Malaysia is home to many wonderful coastal expanses and is situated alongside the South China Sea, as well as the Straits of Malacca. Kuala Lumpur is the Malaysian capital and largest city, and contains some spectacular sights, such as the world-famous Petronas Twin Towers. Both the Golden Triangle and Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) are especially tourist-friendly here.
The island of Penang is another favoured tourist destination in Malaysia and is where you will discover everything from beaches and jungles, to culture and superb restaurants, particularly within Georgetown, Penang's capital. Also worth a mention in Malaysia are the cities of Ipoh, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Malacca, Miri and Putrajaya, the latter of which serves as the country's administrative centre and is famed for its spectacular architecture, with highlights including the Putra Perdana mosque and the Seri Perdana (the residence of the Malaysian Prime Minister).
