Highlights of Malaysia Heritage & Culture Tours

Malaysia is home to Malay, Chinese, and Indian ethnic groups, which makes the country a melting pot of beliefs, practices, and festivals. Reowning a heritage of diverse influences, including a long period of British colonial rule and an economically powerful Chinese community, Malaysia boasts a diverse range of cultural attractions. One of the country's most iconic cultural sites is the Batu Caves, a Hindu shrine located in the north of Kuala Lumpur that combines an interesting natural landscape with a major place of worship and some striking sights. Another popular destination is George Town in Penang, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, featuring a unique blend of colonial architecture, street art, and Chinese temples. Located on the west coast, Melaka is a cultural melting pot whose history and architecture were influenced by Dutch, British, and Portuguese rule. Here, one can see ornate Chinese trophy houses alongside grand Spanish-inspired villas, making it a dream for photographers and history buffs alike. Most of Melaka's ornate flourishes come courtesy of its days as a Dutch, Portuguese, and British trading post, back before it became a part of the Federation of Malaya in 1948. Check out the 16th-century St. Paul’s Church, rifle through the antique shops of Chinatown, and admire the island-bound Masjid Selat Melaka mosque.
