Hidden Gems of Malaysia

Beyond the urban centers, Malaysia’s landscape features the 400-million-year-old limestone chambers of Tempurung Cave and the wildlife corridors of the Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary. This collection highlights architectural landmarks like the glass-clad Masjid Kristal and the unfinished colonial ruins of Kellie's Castle. Cultural heritage is preserved in the living museums of Sarawak and Mari Mari villages, while the natural world is represented by the world’s largest flower at Gunung Gading National Park and the multi-tiered waterfalls of Kanching Recreational Forest.
