Malaysia is one of the gems of any travel in Asia. The relaxed and friendly attitude of its citizens, as well as the gorgeous surroundings make this one of Asia's most lovely vacation spots. Skyscrapers tower above longhouses throughout, highlighting the blend of history and modern commerce. Natural wonders greet travelers as they leave urban areas, and Malaysia is a superb place to travel in Asia for an eco-holiday. Malaysia Asia travel can include a stroll on the Tanjung Rhu beach, visit Kuala Terengganu for some central market shopping, or visit one of the many historic temples such as Jalan Tokong in Malacca.

Most Asia vacation packages to Malaysia include a flight into Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital city. By far the most modern city in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpar is a great jumping off point for travel in Asia, and is actually a great way to take advantage of cheap Asia travel, as flights tend to be less expensive into this city. Another popular Malaysia city is Johor Bahru, a metropolis full of historical sites and the unique Ghazal music scene, a special type of instrumental performance for wedding and other special events. Since the history of Malaysia involves a wide mining community, particularly in tin, the city of Ipoh is another great sightseeing spot, as well as a major hub for the Malaysian railroad and other transportation. Any road you take in Malaysia leads to intriguing and beautiful surroundings, and the long history of Malaysia is worth exploring.
