Malaysia is wildly diverse, from its culture \u2013 a blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous groups \u2013 to its nature, cuisine and architecture. Bustling cities are a blend of modern and traditional, with ancient temples and UNESCO protected streets sitting side by side with gleaming skyscrapers. Come for the culture and stay for the food. A melting pot of cultures creates a melting pot of flavours, and markets are brimming with Malay street food that\u2019ll have you salivating. Away from the urban there are incredible National Parks. The world\u2019s oldest tropical rainforest, vast cave networks and marine reserves are home to abundant wildlife and ensure plenty of scope for adventure. And when you\u2019re done exploring, Malaysia\u2019s many beaches and islands await for a touch of R&R.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3876,"template":"","format":"standard","country_category":[193],"when-filter":[],"type-filter":[],"who-filter":[],"appeal-filter":[],"class_list":["post-4166","destination","type-destination","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country_category-asia-en-us"],"yoast_head":"\n
