As usual, we asked a few other bloggers to contribute their favorite landmarks in Malaysia and make this post as thorough as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado, let\u2019s explore the 20 most <strong>famous Malaysia Landmarks<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Landmarks_in_Malaysia_%E2%80%93_Kuala_Lumpur\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Landmarks_in_Malaysia_-_Kuala_Lumpur\"><\/span>Famous Landmarks in Malaysia \u2013 Kuala Lumpur<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Petronas_Towers\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Petronas_Towers\"><\/span>Petronas Towers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Petronas twin towers are the most iconic landmarks in Malaysia. Located in the heart o Kuala Lumpur, they symbolize the strength of the Malaysian economy and the Islamic culture of the country. <\/p>\n<p>Constructed in 1998, the Petronas towers are the most striking feature of the city\u2019s skyline. With 452 meters, they used to be the tallest building in the world and still are the tallest twin towers. Besides the enormous dimensions, the Petronas are also famous for the double-decker sky bridge that connects them.<\/p>\n<p>The construction of the Petronas was a huge undertaking by Malaysia and one of its most prized achievements. Their towers have a distinct postmodern style that embraces Malaysia\u2019s heritage, evoking Islamic arabesques and geometric attributes characteristic of Muslim architecture.<\/p>\n<p>The Petronas towers are one of the first places to visit in the city, either if you have three days in KL or only a few hours. You can visit the KLCC park to enjoy the exterior or buy a ticket to climb the towers. It is a cool experience and will allow enjoying the views.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Famous Landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-7788\" width=\"886\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Petronas-Twin-Towers.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Petronas-Twin-Towers-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Petronas-Twin-Towers-768x444.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 1 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Petronas-Twin-Towers.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Petronas-Twin-Towers.jpg\" alt=\"Famous Landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-7788\" width=\"886\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Petronas-Twin-Towers.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Petronas-Twin-Towers-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Petronas-Twin-Towers-768x444.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 1 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Petronas Towers | The most famous landmark in Malaysia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"KL_Tower\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"KL_Tower\"><\/span>KL Tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The KL tower, or Menara Kuala Lumpur, is another famous Malaysian landmark in Kuala Lumpur.

The most popular temple is Sri Subramaniam Temple, which is located at the base of the caves.<\/p>\n<p>The caves are also a great place to go for a hike, and there are a number of trails that lead up to the cave temples. The Batu Caves are a great place to visit if you are interested in Hinduism or if you just want to see some of Malaysia\u2019s natural beauty.<\/p>\n<p>The Batu Caves are located about 10 kilometers north of the Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC).

While the famous Batu Caves are always crowded, this temple is far more quiet and just as stunning. It\u2019s located close to Bangsar, south of the city center, and best reached by taxi since there is no nearby public transport.<\/p>\n<p>The temple is located on a hill with sweeping views of the city. It\u2019s a place of worship, and it\u2019s important for visitors to be respectful when they come. Make sure to wear clothing that covers your legs and does not disturb anyone who is at the temple for religious purposes.<\/p>\n<p>With its colorful architecture and intricate decorations, Thean Hou is a fantastic place to take photos. Make sure to pack your camera and come early in the morning for the best chance at undisturbed photos. Visiting on a sunny day is also highly recommended to make the temple even more photogenic. Also, make sure you\u2019re not visiting during a day with special ceremonies or events, which might mean that the temple is closed to the public or opening hours differ.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Well known landmarks of Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-27754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 5 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Well known landmarks of Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-27754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Thean-Hou-Temple-Malaysia-landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 5 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Thean Hou Temple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Malay_Landmarks_%E2%80%93_Penang\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Malay_Landmarks_-_Penang\"><\/span>Famous Malay Landmarks \u2013 Penang<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Penang_National_Park\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Penang_National_Park\"><\/span>Penang National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Penang National Park is one of the most well-known natural landmarks in Malaysia.

In fact, hiking in Penang National Park may be one of the best ways of exploring and enjoying what the park has to offer. <\/p>\n<p>There are two main trails that take hikers to the two most beautiful beaches in the Park. It\u2019s difficult to do both trails in one day, but it is possible if you connect them with a pleasant boat trip.

Penang street art belongs to the most incredible street art in the world. It is back to back with the street art of London, Paris, New York, and Mexico City, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>UNESCO declared George Town a World Heritage Site in 2008. And, the street art project started with the intention of branding George Town in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>The most famous Penang street art is the interactive 2D and 3D street art of Ernest Zachirevic. Visitors insert themselves into the wall art and take photos of themselves as a part of the murals. Little Children on a Bicycle, Boy on a Bike, The Real Bruce Lee Would Never Do That, and Old Indian Woman murals are some of the most popular.<\/p>\n<p>The street art is spread all around the Old City of Georgetown. If you want to see some of the most incredible street art in the world, put Georgetown on your Malaysia itinerary.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Georgetown is about five hours and 30 min by bus from Kuala Lumpur. It is also three hours and 40 min by plane from Kuala Lumpur.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"860\" alt=\"Interesting landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-27750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks-150x126.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks-768x645.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 7 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"860\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-27750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks-150x126.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Little-Children-on-a-Bicycle-Penang-Malaysia-landmarks-768x645.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 7 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Little Children on a Bicycle mural \u2013 Georgetown street art<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snake_Temple\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snake_Temple\"><\/span>Snake Temple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Helen from\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/japlanease.com\/\">Japlanease<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With its red columns and ornately carved roof, Penang\u2019s\u00a0Hock Kin Keong\u00a0temple looks like many of the other temples you\u2019ll see around Malaysia \u2013 it\u2019s only once you head inside and realize that the green trim draped around the incense burners isn\u2019t actually a decorative feature but one of the pit vipers that make the temple their home that you realize this is something that little bit different.<\/p>\n<p>As it\u2019s a temple, you\u2019d think there was some mystical legend as to why the snakes are there, but no.

There are at least 20 cat statues in Kuching, with the most popular one being \u201cThe Cat Family\u201d statue in the golden traffic triangle at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With its location close to the Kuching waterfront, \u201cThe Cat Family\u201d statue has been the city\u2019s symbol for more than 30 years. The majority of visitors believe that you\u2019ve never been to Kuching without taking a picture in front of the landmark in the capital city of Sarawak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The statue consists of the cat parents with seven kittens surrounding the roundabout. Each cat and kittens have different fur colors, which reflect the philosophy of \u201cunity and diversity\u201d behind the statue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The meaning of \u201cThe Cat Family\u201d statue is to show that each cat has different appearances, but regardless of the differences, they stand there as a unit: a family. Just like Kuching and entire Malaysia, home to diverse ethnicities and races who live in harmony despite the diversity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Malaysia landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 10 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak.jpg\" alt=\"Malaysia landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cat-Family-statue-Kuching-Sarawak-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 10 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><figcaption>The Cat Family in Kuching, Sarawak, is one of the most famous landmarks in Malaysia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kinabatangan_River\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kinabatangan_River\"><\/span>Kinabatangan River<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Annelies from\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/travelersanddreamers.com\/\">Travelers and Dreamers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Kinabatangan River is a 560-kilometer-long river in the province of Sabah on the island of Borneo. It is the second largest river in Malaysia and is known for its rich biodiversity and guaranteed wildlife sightings. The area consists of oxbow lakes, riverine forests, freshwater swamp forests, dryland dipterocarp forests, and limestone caves. Wildlife residing around the Kinabatangan River are Proboscis Monkees, Orangutans, Pygmy elephants, leopards, and many other species of monkeys and birds.<\/p>\n<p>While the lower parts of the Kinabatangan river are protected, illegal logging has destroyed a large part of the upper parts, and conservationists are still working towards a sustainable model to preserve this little slice of heaven. Recently, the Sabah government announced that they would seek to register the Kinabatangan River as a UNESCO site.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to explore the Kinabatangan river is through a local guesthouse, tour, or resort near the river in the town of Sukau. The best way to get there is to take a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Sandakan and book a Grab taxi to Sukau. A lot of homestays and resorts also offer pick-ups in Sandakan. The Last Frontier Resort is a good place to stay near the Kinabatangan River.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Important landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-27747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 11 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Important landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-27747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kinabatangan-2-van-1-Malaysia-Landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 11 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Kinabatangan River | Natural landmarks in Malaysia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bako_National_Park_Malaysia_Borneo\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bako_National_Park_Malaysia_Borneo\"><\/span>Bako National Park, Malaysia Borneo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Abbie from A Couples Calling<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning a trip to Malaysia, then you NEED to visit <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acouplescalling.com\/visiting-bako-national-park-a-guide-to-one-of-borneos-gems\/\">Bako National Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Located in Malaysia Borneo, Bako can be found just 37km from the city of Kuching.

At the time, the Sultanate was forced to escape after the Portuguese takeover of the state, and he moved to more remote areas of his kingdom while Melaka thrived under Portuguese rule as a source of raw materials and spices traded from the region.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll enjoy visiting the palace and walking through the interiors with educational displays and signage to explain how the sultanate ruled this region of Malaysia.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Human-made landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-7614\" width=\"884\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Visit-Malacca.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Visit-Malacca-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Visit-Malacca-768x419.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 18 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Visit-Malacca.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Visit-Malacca.jpg\" alt=\"Human-made landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-7614\" width=\"884\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Visit-Malacca.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Visit-Malacca-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Visit-Malacca-768x419.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 18 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Melaka Sultanate Palace | Historic landmarks in Melaka<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cameron_Highlands\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cameron_Highlands\"><\/span>Cameron Highlands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Martina from<strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.placesofjuma.com\/\">\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.placesofjuma.com\/\">PlacesofJuma<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the most famous landmarks in Malaysia is definitely the Cameron Highlands.

Kellie\u2019s Castle was built in 1915 by a Scottish immigrant engineer named William Kellie-Smith. Kellie-Smith, who earned a fortune with his business in Malaysia, built the castle in the middle of Perak\u2019s jungle upon the birth of his son. In an attempt to aesthetically represent both his ancestry and the exoticness of his new home, Kellie-Smith combined Scottish, Moorish, and South Indian architectural styles in his design. He invited 70 Tamil craftsmen from India to work on this project and also built a Hindu temple for them next to the construction site. Tragically, Kellie-Smith died in 1926, and the project was never finished and was subsequently abandoned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, the unfinished ruins of Kellie\u2019s Castle have been transformed into a tourist attraction. The castle attracts all kinds of visitors, from couples on romantic dates to adventure-seekers in search of supernatural creatures in this allegedly haunted place.<\/p>\n<p>Kellie\u2019s Castle and the adjacent Hindu temple are a great day trip for anyone who visiting Ipoh. The best way to reach Kellie\u2019s Castle is by private transportation. It is possible to take a Grab from Ipoh to Kellie\u2019s Castle, but it may be difficult to find a ride back. Therefore, it is better to arrange a rental car or a driver who will wait for you.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"617\" alt=\"Famous Malay landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks-768x463.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 22 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Famous Malay landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Kellies-Castle-in-Peryak-Malaysia-landmarks-768x463.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 22 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Kellie\u2019s Castle in Perak in Malaysia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Malaysian_Landmarks_%E2%80%93_Langkawi\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Malaysian_Landmarks_-_Langkawi\"><\/span>Malaysian Landmarks \u2013 Langkawi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Sky_Bridge_in_Langkawi\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Sky_Bridge_in_Langkawi\"><\/span>The Sky Bridge in Langkawi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Victoria from Guide your Travel<\/p>\n<p>The Sky Bridge in Langkawi is an incredibly impressive and one-of-a-kind landmark in Malaysia.

While the bridge itself only costs around $1, the cable car is slightly more pricey and will set you back around $10 per person. This price is more than worth it, though, and you\u2019ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding nature and mountains.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re afraid of heights, this might not be the best choice for you, though. Parts of the bridge have a glass floor from which you can see the plummeting heights below. The bridge is very safe though, so there is no reason for concern.<\/p>\n<p>While the Sky Bridge is the main attraction, there are actually many things to do in the activity park located at the base of the cable car.

They\u2019ll leave you alone if they don\u2019t think you\u2019re feeding them!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Well known Malay landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 24 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Well known Malay landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-27759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/dayang-bunting-island-Malaysia-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 24 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Daying Bunting Island in Langkawi| Natural Malaysian landmarks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mangrove_forest_in_Langkawi\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mangrove_forest_in_Langkawi\"><\/span>Mangrove forest in Langkawi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The mangrove forest in Kilim Geoforest park in Langkawi is part of the UNESCO\u00a0Network Of Global Geoparks. It\u2019s a nature reserve home to ancient limestone rock formations, caves, and mangrove trees intermingled with the sea and rivers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The reserve has a rich ecosystem of mangrove trees that have the ability to filter salt water. The park is also the habitat for different animals like the red eagle, the white-headed eagle, the long-tailed macaque, snakes, squirrels, and several types of fish.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to visit the Kilim Geoforest park is with a boat tour that takes you through the maze of the mangrove forest and caves. Plus, with most of the tours, you can assist a white-eagle feeding, go to the bat cave, feed the fish, and go to a fish farm that has a restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>It is an unforgettable place with amazing views, and it is quite fun to explore.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Natural Malay landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-10219\" width=\"882\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kilim-Karst-Geoforest-Park-Langkawi.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kilim-Karst-Geoforest-Park-Langkawi-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kilim-Karst-Geoforest-Park-Langkawi-768x544.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 25 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kilim-Karst-Geoforest-Park-Langkawi.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kilim-Karst-Geoforest-Park-Langkawi.jpg\" alt=\"Natural Malay landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-10219\" width=\"882\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kilim-Karst-Geoforest-Park-Langkawi.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kilim-Karst-Geoforest-Park-Langkawi-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Kilim-Karst-Geoforest-Park-Langkawi-768x544.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 25 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><figcaption>The mangrove forest in Langkawi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Pin it for later<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Famous landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-27857\" width=\"377\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Malaysia.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Malaysia-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Malaysia-100x150.jpg 100w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 26 famous landmarks in malaysia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Malaysia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Malaysia.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-27857\" width=\"377\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Malaysia.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Malaysia-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Famous-Landmarks-in-Malaysia-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" title=\"25 Famous Landmarks in Malaysia 26 famous landmarks in malaysia\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dpsp-share-text \" style=\"margin-bottom:10px\">\n        Sharing is caring!  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
