Located at the heart of South East Asia, Malaysia is divided into peninsular Malaysia (West Malaysia) and East Malaysia. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, lies midway along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur represents the heartbeat of Malaysia, serving as its cultural, commercial and transportation centre.
Kuala Lumpur is by far the largest city in Malaysia. Malays, Chinese and Indians comprise the main races. This ethnic diversity has shaped the city over the years and is clearly seen in the various cultural customs and religious beliefs, as well as languages, cuisines and architectures.
Kuala Lumpur is the heady mix of history and culture intertwine with mushrooming skyscrapers and office towers. Kuala Lumpur is the best example of a city that has managed to preserve of its cultural heritage and combine it with modern conveniences to offer a wholly unique experience to visitors.
