Malaysia is arguably one of the most underrated countries in Southeast Asia. Travelers often brag about their Thailand and Bali escapades but skip over the beautiful country of Malaysia. Here are six of the most picturesque spots in the country to help put Malaysia back on the map.
Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur
The Petronas Towers are a whopping 1,483 feet in height, making them rivals for the tallest building in the world. Capturing their full height on camera is hard but it makes for one hell of a picture if you succeed.
Batu Caves
The rainbow steps leading up to the temple at Batu Caves are one of the most Instagrammed spots in the whole of Malaysia.
Malacca
The old town of Malacca is charming and has a special feel. The narrow winding streets and old temples make for some great photo ops.
George Town, Penang
George Town is filled with incredible street art from Malaysia’s very own Banksy. It’s colorful, quirky and very Instagram-worthy.
Langkawi
Langkawi is an archipelago of 90 islands off the coast of Malaysia. The beaches are impressive and the Sky Bridge is spectacular.
Cameron Highlands
The Cameron Highlands is a wonderful hiking spot. The area is dense with lush greenery and it feels somewhere between a field and a jungle.
