Centuries of traders have been attracted
to Malaysia for its natural minerals of spices, silks,
silver and tin ore. The natural qualities of this land
continue to appeal , but it is now the warm blue seas
and beautiful beaches that entice travellers. The capital
city of Kuala Lumpur offers a fascinating combination
of East and West with its mingling of modern skyscrapers
and traditional street markets. Along the north-west coast
you can unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city
in one of the many beautiful beach resorts. Penang island
has attractive scenery and good watersports while the
picturesque resort of Langkawi is a quiet escape with
its fishing village and deserted beaches.
