The perception of a holiday in the Far East has changed radically over the past few decades. Although long thought of as a wild and foreign region, for years the majority of visitors to the Far East have been looking for a unique cultural experience or a more back-to-basics feel. Nowadays, visitors can still take advantage of the cultural diversity of the east but now can also do it in style in some of the most luxurious resorts, spas and beaches around the globe.

Throughout the Far East, visitors are drawn to countries such as China, Borneo, Thailand and Malaysia for the widely different and colourful cultures, cuisine, religion and scenery which these countries offer. For those who have only travelled and experienced resorts in the west, the east offers a hugely different and fulfilling experience that continually pulls many people to the region. In addition to the new experiences on offer, visitors can also sample it all in the lap of luxury, in the many resorts that have sprouted up on the pristine shores of the East.

Thailand, for example, has long been a holiday favourite, attracting beachgoers and culture seekers alike for decades. Replete with beautiful beaches spread across many islands to explore, sets the scene for a perfect holiday in the sun.

Malaysia is an up and coming destination for those looking for an exotic adventure. Like Thailand, the country boasts beautiful beaches as well as the cosmopolitan city of Kuala Lumpur, which is complete with excellent shopping malls, top notch restaurants and a never ending list of sights to behold.

For a truly unique cultural experience, China ranks among the best on offer when it comes to Far East holidays. Playing host to the most cities whose populations number over a million people each, China is a bustling country with a booming economy that visitors can feel the minute they arrive. In stark contrast to this, much of the countryside still practices traditional agricultural methods, all the while set in breathtaking countryside that is still relatively isolated from the modern conveniences of the 21st century. Some of the biggest attractions on earth are located in China, such as the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.

For a heady mixture of breathtaking scenery and wildlife, the island of Borneo is a perfect choice for a far east holiday. A trip through the Borneo jungle feels like a trip through time. Take a boat ride through the lush rainforest, where lucky visitors will be able to see orang-utans in their natural habitat; while remarkable birds can be seen and heard on any trip and a vast Array of exquisite plants blanket the forest in the most vibrant colours.

Destinations which, historically, were only open to the most intrepid of travellers have now opened up to visitors from all walks of life, and in recent years these previously out of reach locations have become much more attractive to tourists seeking adventure and the unknown on their holiday.

Kuala Lumpur Guide And Travel Information http://www.lost-in-malaysia.com/kuala-lumpur-guide-and-travel-information/ http://www.lost-in-malaysia.com/kuala-lumpur-guide-and-travel-information/#comments Sat, 16 May 2009 18:38:38 +0000 admin http://www.lost-in-malaysia.com/kuala-lumpur-guide-and-travel-information/



Kuala Lumpur or KL is the capital city of Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is the perfect gateway into Malaysia that offers full travel destinations into the city.

It is a vibrant city that has the contrasts of old and new buildings. Within KL you will experience shopping malls, restaurants, hotels that range from budget hotels, 3 star hotels, 4 star hotels and 5 star international hotels in the city of Kuala Lumpur.

There is also an exciting nightlife in KL that one can enjoy the bright lights of the city with restaurants from fine dining to local restaurants like Malay, Chinese, Indian to international restaurants. With the Twin Towers – KLCC in the heart of the city – Golden Triangle within the surrounding hotels, the view is breath taking at night.

Kuala Lumpur is also known as the “City that Never Sleeps”. Museums, KL tower, shopping malls, history, tourist attractions like the lake gardens, art galleries and indian street & china town are the best places to be.

Malaysia Tourist Information Complex (MATIC) – A good place to begin any visit to Kuala Lumpur is the one-stop information centre, which provides a general picture of what the city and Malaysia have to offer. Audio-visual equipment provides background information on each state in the country. You can book a tour, arrange to go on a trishaw ride in the city, change your money, and book air or bus tickets to various destinations in Malaysia. International calls, facsimile and telex services are also offered. For your first taste of Malaysian cuisine, there is a restaurant in the right wing of the building. Cultural performances are held daily.

National Zoo and Aquarium – Thirteen kilometers north-east of Kuala Lumpur is the National Zoo. It contains hundreds of different species of animals, birds, and reptiles. The aquarium has an extensive collection of marine and freshwater species. Both the zoo and aquarium are open daily from 9am to 6pm.

Central Market – Fifty years ago this site was occupied by a wet market. Today, the art-deco structure of the central market is a centre for the display and development of Malaysian culture, arts and crafts. There are many performances, demonstrations, and activities offered here, including batik painting, fortune telling, shadow puppet plays, glass blowing, dance classes, art classes, and many others. The building won the coronation architecture design award in 1953.

Petaling Street – The center of Kuala Lumpur’s original chinatown. Petaling Street maintains much of its traditional atmosphere, particularly at night when vendors spread their wares out on the street. While it is possible to purchase anything from gems and incense to toys and t-shirts here, enjoying the night market is really a matter of just wandering about and enjoying its sights, sounds and energy.

Menara Kuala Lumpur ( KL Tower ) – Functioning as a telecommunications tower, the KL Tower has an observation deck for visitors to enjoy the ever dynamic skyline of Kuala Lumpur. The Tower sits on “Pineapple Hill” or Bukit Nanas which also harbours the Bukit nanas forest reserve.

Petronas Twin Tower – The world’s tallest twin towers are not to be missed. Go early for the guided tour which takes you up to the skybridge on the 41st and 42nd floors.

China Town / Petaling Street – Bargains galore! Shopping at Petaling street is fun as haggling is the main order of business. You can always get a good bargain here. Petaling street is a five minute walk away from the central market.

Dataran Merdeka / Merdeka Square -The British Union Jack was lowered for the last time here, when Malaysia gained its independence on 31st August 1957. Surrounding the square are many buildings of historical interest such as the Tudor-style royal selangor club, the national history museum, memorial library and St Mary’s cathedral, a gothic-style church.

Little India or Masjid India is simply splendid! Chaos reigns with motorbikes tooting, people jostling, peddlars shouting and hailers blaring Hindi music amidst colourful displays of Indian fabrics, home wares and the most current movies. Awaken the senses to the smell of incense, spices and curries wafting from every corner. A delightful experience not to be missed!
