True Asia
«Malaysia - this Asia» - says the advertising slogan of the country's tourism department. But what is "real Asia" in the view of our compatriots with you? Exotic nature and culture, uncomplicated life of the local population on the tropical coasts, outlandish clothes, elephants and inexpensive seafood in the performance of an unusual kitchen for us? But in Malaysia, it's not like that at all!
The Emirates in Asia are emerging sooner. So what do the Malaysians mean by calling their country "true Asia"?
The rich history and freedom of religion provided Malaysia with an impressive variety of Asian cultures. Grandiose mosques and Thai Buddhist temples, competitions of tops, kites and colorful shows, Chinese quarters and museums of Muslim art, the traditional way of life of the indigenous Borneo tribes and tea plantations in the fresh air of the uplands - all peacefully neighbors with each other.
In Malaysia, it is important to choose a suitable resort: the attractions of Langkawi, pristine natural beauty of Tioman or Pangkor, serene e-privacy Lang Tengah, open spaces and jungles of Borneo or Taman Negara, the wonders of architecture and shopping in Kuala Lumpur or the pulsating rhythm of life on the Penang - what will you prefer? Even the numerous dive-resorts here are dramatically different underwater world .By the way, pay attention to the nature reserves of Malaysia: their potential is still not fully appreciated .For example, to see the real jungle full of tropical life, it's enough for a couple of days to look in Taman-Negar a few hours from Kuala Lumpur, and Danum Valley on Borneo gives the opportunity to see many rare jungle dwellers .
By the way, because in Malaysia - not the most rigorous version of Islam, women of the country pleases the eye with bright and colorful national dresses - and even trouser suits, and as a hijab they use beautiful scarves from the famous Malaysian batik .In this case, you will not be convicted of "indecent" ladies' outfit in the form of shorts and T-shirts: local residents are friendly and friendly .By the way, do you know how the Malaysian batik differs from, say, Indonesian? Usually the paint spreads on the fabric, forming water-color overflows, and the Malay masters first apply the contours of the pattern to the wax, paint the picture and then remove the wax .The work is time-consuming, but the result is a perfectly sharp drawing with strict lines .
However, the high level of economic development has the downside of the coin: relatively high prices compared to other countries in this region .Therefore, Malaysia is ideal for travelers who prefer individual trips to the least "ridden" places for resting .Especially this country is good for the first comfortable acquaintance with the region of those travelers who are accustomed to the European standard of living, who are attracted, but somewhat disturbing the color of South-East Asia..A wonderful climate, friendly local population, a rich choice of resorts with developed infrastructure, cultural and natural values for every taste - this country has everything to open it for itself again and again..
