Pulau Tioman Pulau Tioman
Tioman is a small island located off the east coast of peninsular Malaysia. In the 1970s, Time Magazine selected Tioman
as one of the world’s most beautiful islands. Tourists have surged to
the island ever since, seeking a taste of paradises. The island is
surrounded by numerous white coral reefs, making it a haven for scuba
divers while the interior is densely forested. Visitors outnumber
villagers outside the monsoon (November to February), but Tioman can be
virtually deserted at other times.

Taman Negara
Taman Negara, which literally means “national park” in Malay, is one of
the oldest tropical rain forest in the world. It features massive trees,
waterfalls, jungle treks of various duration and the world’s longest
canopy walkways. Several trails enable the visitor to explore the forest
without a guide. Taman Negara
is a haven for endangered species such as the Asian elephant, tigers,
leopards and rhinos, but numbers are low and sightings are very rare.
It’s unlikely that you will see anything more than birds, small deer,
lizards, snakes and perhaps a tapir.

Georgetown Inner City
Named after Britain’s King George III, Georgetown
is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island. Most of George
Town’s population is of Chinese origin. Due to strict controls, George
Town retains many of its colonial-era shophouses to this day. It is
officially recognized as having a unique architectural and cultural
townscape without parallel anywhere in Southeast Asia. The town truly
springs to life in the evenings, when most of the locals head to the
nearby street hawkers to have their meals and drinks.

The majority of the existing wall were built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD). The condition of the Great Wall of China ranges from excellent to ruined. The most popular area of the Great Wall is at Bādálǐng. Also renovated but less touristy are Sīmǎtái and Jīnshānlǐng.
