Why Visit Malaysia?
Home to a blend of Malays, Chinese, Indians and indigenous groups, Malaysia’s cultural influence is as diverse and widespread as its landscape. This is in evidence when you amble through the streets of capital Kuala Lumpur where skyscrapers like the famous Petronas Towers share space with mosques, churches and temples. Needless to say, this cultural richness is also reflected in the country’s epic cuisine and is ideal for a Solo who loves their food.
