Places to Visit in Malaysia<\/strong>; Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country<\/strong> occupying the Malaysian Peninsula<\/strong> and part of the island of Borneo<\/strong>. It’s known for its beaches, rainforests and mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European influences. The sprawling Capital, Kuala Lumpur<\/strong>, is home to colonial buildings, busy shopping districts such as Bukit Bintang and skyscrapers including the iconic, 451 m-tall Petronas Twin Towers<\/strong>. <\/p>\n 1) Kuala Lumpur<\/strong> Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country<\/strong> located on strategic sea-lane that exposes it to global trade and foreign culture<\/strong>. Hinduism from India and Buddhism from China<\/strong><\/em> dominated early regional history, reaching their peak during the reign of the Sumatra<\/strong>-based Srivijaya civilisation, whose influence extended through Sumatra, Java, the Malay Peninsula<\/strong> and much of Borneo<\/strong> from the 7th to the 14th centuries.<\/p>\n Although Muslims<\/strong> had passed through the Malay Peninsula<\/strong> as early as the 10th century, it was not until the 14th and 15th centuries that Islam first firmly established itself. The adoption of Islam<\/strong> by the 15th century<\/strong> saw the rise of a number of sultanates<\/strong>, the most prominent of which was The Sultanate of Malacca<\/strong>. Islam had a profound influence on the Malay people, but has also been influenced by them. <\/p>\n The Portuguese<\/strong> were the first European colonial powers<\/strong> to establish themselves on The Malay Peninsula and Southeast Asia<\/strong>, capturing Malacca in 1511, followed by the Dutch in 1641<\/strong>. However, it was The British<\/strong> who, after initially establishing bases at Jesselton, Kuching, Penang and Singapore, ultimately secured their hegemony across the territory that is now Malaysia. The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824<\/strong> defined the boundaries between British Malaya and the Netherlands East Indies<\/strong> (which became Indonesia). A fourth phase of foreign influence was immigration of Chinese<\/strong> and Indian workers to meet the needs of the colonial economy<\/strong> created by the British in the Malay Peninsula<\/strong> and Borneo.. <\/p>\n The culture of Malaysia<\/strong> draws on the varied cultures of the different people of Malaysia<\/strong>. The first people to live in the area were indigenous tribes that still remain; they were followed by the Malays<\/strong>, who moved there from mainland Asia in ancient times. Chinese and Indian cultural influences<\/strong> made their mark when trade began with those countries, and increased with immigration to Malaysia<\/strong>. Other cultures that heavily influenced that of Malaysia include Persian, Arabic, and British. The many different ethnicities that currently exist in Malaysia have their own unique and distinctive cultural identities<\/strong>, with some crossover. <\/p>\n Arts and music<\/strong> have a long tradition in Malaysia<\/strong>, with Malay art dating back to The Malay sultanates<\/strong>. Traditional art was centred on fields such as carving, silversmithing, and weaving. Islamic taboos restricted artwork depicting humans until the mid-20th century. Performing arts and shadow puppet shows<\/strong> are popular, and often show Indian influences<\/strong>. Various influences can be seen in architecture, from individual cultures in Malaysia<\/strong> and from other countries. Large modern structures have been built, including the tallest twin buildings in the world<\/strong>, the Petronas Twin Towers<\/strong><\/em>. <\/p>\n Malaysian music<\/strong> has a variety of origins, and is largely based around percussion instruments. Much early Malaysian literature<\/strong> was based on Indian epics, which remained unchanged even as Malays converted to Islam<\/strong>; this has expanded in recent decades. English literature remained restricted to the higher class<\/strong> until the arrival of the printing press. Locally created Chinese and Indian literature<\/strong> appeared in the 19th century. <\/p>\n Cuisine<\/strong> is often divided along ethnic lines,<\/strong> but some dishes exist which have mixed foods from different ethnicities<\/strong>. Each major religious group has its major holy days declared as official holidays. Official holidays differ by state; the most widespread is Merdeka day<\/strong> which celebrates the independence of Malaya<\/strong>. Although festivals often stem from a specific ethnic background, they are celebrated by all people in Malaysia<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Traditional sports are popular in Malaysia<\/strong>, while it has become a powerhouse in international sports<\/strong> such as badminton. Malaysia hosted the Commonwealth Games in 1998<\/strong>, the first Commonwealth Games where the torch passed through more countries than England and the host. <\/p>\n 1) Vertigo Kuala Lumpur<\/strong> Welcome To Malaysia – Places to Visit in Malaysia Places to Visit [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1695,1588,1587,1760],"tags":[2230,2231,2232,2233,2234,1344,2235,2226],"class_list":["post-173627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia-en-ca","category-destination-info-en-ca","category-news-en-ca","category-south-east-asia-en-ca","tag-asia-en-ca","tag-culture-of-malaysia-en-ca","tag-history-of-malaysia-en-ca","tag-kuala-lumpur-en-ca","tag-kuala-lumpur-maza-en-ca","tag-malaysia-en-ca","tag-nightclubs-at-malaysia-en-ca","tag-popular-destinations-at-malaysia-en-ca"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Places to Visit in Malaysia<\/h3>\n
