Top 5 Travel Attractions of Malaysia

1. Communication. – If you are reading this blog post in English now, you will not face any difficulties or issues to travel around Malaysia. Though Malaysia consists of many different ethnic groups with majority of them Malay, Chinese and Indian, most of them, if not all, understand simple English words; Many of them can communicate, if not fluent, in English; All of them who work in travel industry, include hotels, restaurants, transportation and so on, speak fluent English;

2. Vast varieties of travel activity options. – With its geographical nature and efforts from Malaysian government, Malaysia offers all kinds of travel activity options around the country. There are breathtaking mountains and breezing world class entertainment resorts atop, long sandy beaches as well as breathtaking islands with world renown diving spots, UNESCO World heritage cities with rich historical architecture and culture, modern cosmopolitan city with large shopping malls and world class skyscrapers, and off course lush rainforest and greenery with wildlife and endless trekking opportunities. Not to mention crazy nightlife in both cities as well as travel destinations;

3. Great Value of Money. – Among all those countries that I know or have traveled to, Malaysia is one of the cheapest country to visit and to enjoy. Hotels rates are among the cheapest in the region; Foods are cheap but really tasty. If you are looking for a good cup of coffee, you can get it everywhere for as low as USD1. If you are a fans of McDonald, Malaysian’s McD’s menu is one of the cheapest in the world! Travel Excursions are also good value for your money spent with all-inclusive 3D2N packages to islands holidays start from as low as USD150! Shopping in Malaysia has now become cheap since electronics and IT products are all tax free.

4. Safety and Security. – With the joint effort from strict police operation team and tighter criminal law enforcement, Malaysia has now become a much more safer country to tourists. International studies has recently revealed that Malaysia’s safety condition for tourists is actually on par with most other popular travel destinations in Europe such as Paris and Brussels. I have visited both Paris and Brussels and would totally agree on that, albeit though terrorism activities in other Muslim countries have actually wrongly interpreted the situation in Malaysia. In general, Malaysia is a safe country with relatively peaceful environment without chaotic political issues, critical criminal issues and geographical disasters.

5. Hot Climate and clean air. – Malaysia enjoys a year long sunshine with its tropical climate which is a good news to travel photographers. Temperatures generally range from 32°C at noon to about 26°C at midnight for the whole year. Travelers could visit Malaysia anytime in a year. Though monsoon seasons during March to May and December to January do bring more rains to Malaysia, sunny morning and afternoon could still be expected. With the help from its lush green areas and forest reserved, air pollution is much lower than other countries in the region.

Top 5 Australia beaches

Hyams Beach, New South Wales
Hyams beach is famous in the world for having the whitest sand you can ind anywhere (as testified by the Guinness Book of Records too). The pleasant little seaside village of Hyams Beach has three beaches, but the eponymous one is definitely the best. Hyams is highly recommended for couples wishing for a romantic getaway, or solo travelers, seeing as there are several cottages catering for them, but families will also have a lot of fun here. There are several excellent cafes near the beach, so gourmets will have something else to look for as well.

Manly Beach, New South Wales
Manly is one of the best known beaches in Sydney, and not only because it has a funny name (the name of the beach was given by Cpt. Arthur Phillip, because he thought that the indigenous people living in the area were commendably manly). In addition for being a magnet for tourists and locals, Manly Beach has long held the fascination of several artists. It is a great place for scuba diving, sailing, surfing, and a variety of terrestrial sports like biking, tennis or volleyball. It is the quintessential Australian beach experience.

Mission Beach, Queensland
Mission Beach is the meeting point of two of the most amazing world heritage sites in the world, the Great Barrier Ree ad the Wet Tropics rainforest. There are four distinc villages on the 14 km which make up Mission Beach, but there is no great difference among them. There are many opportunities for ecotours, as well as more adrenaline filled activities like rafting or skydiving. In the jungle, keep an eye out for cassowaries, large birds similar to emus.

Cable Beach, Western Australia
Cable Beach might be a bit far from Australia’s major cities, but it is totally worth the long journey there. The water is a clear turquoise and the the sand is soft and golden, but the major draw of this beach are the activities you can do here. Lots of opportunities for extreme sports and surfing, and (for the romantic in you) camel treks on the beach at sunset. If you are visiting October through May, take great care not to run into any deadly marine stingers in the water.

Wineglass Bay, Tasmania
Not only is Wineglass bay the most beautiful beach in Australia, but also one of the top ten in the world. The pure, secluded crescent shape of Wineglass Bay can only be described as simply jaw-dropping and heart-stopping. It’s not exactly the classic beach destination because its location is quite remote – a one hour trek through the woods from the car park in Freycinet National Park – but it is a magnificent place for swimming and gawking.
