Malaysia: The soul of Asia

The ad campaign of ‘Truly Asia' is not just a gimmick to lure tourists to Malaysia (although it does a pretty decent job at it!) The country is indeed the very soul of the continent, but one would never believe this till the time they experience it for themselves.

Kuching: The state capital of Koching lies along the bank of the Sungai Sarawak, exuding charm in all possible manners. It offers an atmosphere that is stylish & sophisticated, yet as docile and indomitable as can be at the same time. In Malay, Kuching means ‘cat', and the city exhibits all the features of the feline species, for it is unpredictable many a times. Till the 19th century, Kuching was known as Sarawak, and was renamed by Charles Brooke in 1872. It has its own distinct identity that rivals other large towns in Malaysian Borneo, and has an exceptional level of religious, racial and social tolerance. Despite its mammoth size, Kuching is conspicuously quite and isolated in the suburbs lying alongside the river. One can stroll at leisure at the landscaped gardens and parks along the river promenade to soak in the views of the Bungo mountains that rise above the morning mist. There are also quite a few cultural attractions and great options for eating and drinking. In short, Kuching is the ideal strating point for exploring the state.

Kuala Lumpur: Contrary to popular belief, Kuala Lumpur is a lot more than just a capital city. For the country of Malaysia, it represents the determination that is a hallmark of the Malay people. The city had modest beginnings, starting as a tin-mining town, and is today a global metropolis that is both awe-inspiring and enviable at the same time. The city has had its share of challenges and shortcomings, but has never backed down, and that is precisely the reason for its unparalleled success. It lives up to its advertising catchphrase of ‘Truly Asia', as it certainly is the modern face of Asia! Soaring towers and modern shopping malls co-exist with iconic temples and mosques, while locals enjoy sipping coffee at an elite joint as much as exploring the flea markets and street-side hawker stalls. The cultural diversity is also quite striking, as Indian migrants, British colonialists, Ethnic Malays and Chinese prospectors have played an equally important role in elevating Malaysia to its present stature. Coming back to the highlights for a tourist, eating, shopping and nightlife are undoubtedly things one must look forward to in KL!

Melaka: Unknown to many, this small state of Melaka is the hotspot for numerous tourists who wish to visit the historic port city of the same name.  Melaka has an addictive multicultural atmosphere that would not be witnessed anywhere else in the world, besides the regular Malaysian characteristic of great food, shopping and accommodation options!
