It consists of thirteen states and three federal territories, separated by the South China Sea into two similarly sized regions, Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo. Peninsular Malaysia shares a land and maritime border with Thailand in the north and maritime borders with Singapore in the south, Vietnam in the northeast, and Indonesia in the west.

Buzzing cities, culinary sensations, beautiful beaches, idyllic islands and national parks with wildlife-packed rainforests – all of this can be found in Malaysia
The country is home to many spectacular natural wonders, leaving nature lovers spoilt for choice when trying to decide on their next outdoor adventure.
While Langkawi, an archipelago of 99 islands, is known for its white, sandy beaches, the main island (Pulau Langkawi) is home to one of the most interesting structures in all of Malaysia. Set over 2,000 feet above sea level, this sky bridge winds through the rain forest and the peaks of Mount Mat Cincang. At over 400 feet long, the bridge is amazingly suspended by cables from a singular vertical support. To get to the bridge, take the 20-minute Langkawi Cable Car ride to the top of the mountain – an experience on its own – and enter the bridge
Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque (or Masjid Terapung) is often referred to as the Floating Mosque because of the way it was built. Constructed on an estuary of the Terengganu River, Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque combines Moorish architecture with a more modern feel – it is thought of as a representation of the "modernization of Terengganu state." Located less than three miles outside of Kuala Terengganu's center, the building incorporates classic Islamic design elements with local materials like marble and ceramic.
Arguably the most well-known buildings in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Twin Towers soars high above the rest of the city's skyline. In fact, they're currently the tallest twin towers in the world. Take the elevators to the 41st floor for a view of the city from between the towers – the double-decker sky bridge provides a passageway between them. Up on the 86th floor, you'll stand over 1100 feet above ground.
Once the National Mosque of Malaysia, Masjid Jamek is surrounded by palm trees and features traditional Moorish design detail, like the iconic white domes. The building is beautiful, even from the outside. There's no entrance fee, but the mosque is currently closed for renovations. (Like all mosques in Malaysia, proper attire is expected when it's open to visitors: Women should wear a long skirt or pants and long sleeves, and should cover their heads upon entering.) For now, you can still admire it from outside the walls.
Photos will never do this place justice. Just outside of Kuala Lumpur, seemingly out of nowhere, mountains begin poking up from the countryside. The statue outside the caves is the tallest statue of Lord Murugan (a Hindu god) in the world, at 140 feet. While not everyone makes the trek up the mountain and into the caves, we highly recommend it. After all, you'll have to climb 272 steep steps with fruits, flowers, and monkeys lining the sides.
While you can't exactly visit this state building, you can get a good look at the umbrella-like roof and architecture from outside. Located in Kuching on the island of Borneo, you'll come across the New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building as you're walking downtown. It can be seen prominently across the river. To get an especially good view, grab a water taxi and ask to be taken to the steps across from the building .
Arguably one of the most unique mosques in the world, Masjid Kristal, or the Crystal Mosque, is constructed of steel and glass. The mosque is located on Wan Man island at the Islamic Heritage Park in Kuala Terengganu. It's said that the best time to see the mosque is early in the morning or at dusk when the sun is setting. Be sure to watch from across the water for the best view. Accessible by taxi or boat, visit the mosque (free entry), along with other attractions on the island.
