Kuala Lumpur is a very modern megapolis, in which both relaxing and active, beach restBut this city has its own characteristics, and prices for everything you need to tourists, as numerous reviews are said about this place - quite acceptable.

Google Cards / Google.ru

Although literally from the first step, the megapolis stuns with noisy mothers, a fuss, tangible rhythm speed, even for Muscovites, this is just the first impression. Very near this full lights and the life of the "anthill" there are absolutely quiet, fabulous beaches, where there is nothing but the sound of rustling in the sand of the waves.

A little about the city

Kuala Lumpur - Central, although not the largest city on the Peninsula Malacca, in his southwestern part. Although when looking at any tourist avenue or booklet, the impression of the skyscrapers of skyscrapers and neon lights is created, Kuala Lumpur was founded in 1857 and here there is something to see, except glass and concrete.

In the city, many buildings built in a magnificent French colonial style, no less mosques - from old to ultra-modern, there are Buddhist temple complexes.

In addition to architecture, Kuala Lumpur can offer a saturated shopping, all sorts of family amusement parks, aquarium, tropical gardens, a variety of restaurants of various culinary topics and a full nightlife.

All this greatly complements relaxation by the sea and makes a beach holiday in Kuala Lumpur truly saturated, diverse and complete.

About Beach

In Kuala Lumpur Beach, such as travelers await, no. There are excellent wooden bedtops with restaurants, cozy bungalow gazebos, romantic lanterns and beautiful views of the skyscrapers and the water of the Bay of Malack Bay.

There are stunning promenade walking areas that differ from all such places in Asia and more resembling southern Europe than the East Asian coasts.

All those fabulous and inexpensive Malaysian beaches, for which the rest and sensation of Paradise, are around Kuala Lumpur, the city serves as a kind of "transshipment point" between the "fairy tale" and "civilization".

That is why the city often "passes by" travelers who perceive it exclusively as a transit point. But such perception is not quite true, since you can live in this megalopolis and take turns to cross all the beaches of Malaysia, choosing the best. It is much more convenient than moving from the beach to the beach with luggage.

And for those who do not like to travel anywhere, but only on the sand of the waves, it does not want to spend all holidays, rest in Kuala Lumpur is the best solution, because, although there are no landscaped paradise beaches in the megapolis itself and no, just 30 km from his central Streets where most hotels are concentrated, there is a great beach - Port Dixon.

Therefore, speaking of the beaches of Kuala Lumpur, and not the whole Malaysia as a whole, they say about the beach of Port Dixon.

Beach Port Dixon

The fact that is so modestly called in tourist booklets - "Beaches Port Dixon", in fact - 20 kilometers of endless beach complexes extending from the small town of Port Dickson to Cape Racotdo.

There is indeed everything for a single leisure relax, as well as for a funny youth recreation, both for family leisure with children of any age, except, of course, the smallest and for studying underwater beauty with scuba.

On the beach complexes Port Dickson can be done:

1. Snorkeling.
2. Windsurfing.
3. Sailing.
4. Walks on yachts.
5. Row on canoeing or a simple walk on them.
6. Water skiing.
7. Skating on scooters.
8. Diving with scuba.
9. Underwater photo.
10. Drinking beach cocktails, both low alcohol and non-alcoholic.
11. Walks under the greens of palm trees, on many beaches there are beautiful adjacent "groves".

It is far from full list how you can spend time on the beach sands near Kuala Lumpur.

All beaches here can be divided into two categories:

• hotels owned by hotels;
• municipal.

The term "municipal" often causes a negative biased perception among Russian travelers, which leads to the fact that such places are simply ignored by them. But it is radically wrong. Municipal beaches are no different from the hotels owned by the hotels, and often even surpass them, in every case, in Kuala Lumpur, more precisely, close to him, the situation is exactly the case.

Private beaches or - owned by hotels, imply payment for the entrance, of course, for those who do not live in this hotel. But there is no particular sense to stop in them, because to compare the service, opportunities and directly conditions, absolutely all local hotels are inferior to hotels central districts In Kuala Lumpur. In any case, if we compare the category in three stars in Malaysia.

corusparadisepd.com.

The only exception is the rest in January. Each hotel, besides the beach, has magnificent pools, which becomes relevant from the end of December to the beginning of February, when the sea practically looks like Kissel due to the activity of jellyfish. And since the season in Malaysia, unlike many other countries, lasts round yearThe relevance of seaside hotels in winter significantly increases.

Municipal beaches, for the visit to which you do not need to pay anyone, here much more than paid. They are very much and finding the most ideal for your own holiday will not be any difficulty.

Each of the beaches have a parking lot, again - the municipal, that is, not requiring payment, but a list of classes and, in general, they have different seaside. Therefore, it is worth renting a car or simply call a taxi and go around everything is absolutely beaches, it will not take much time and will find the only ideal tropical "fairy tale", in which he wants to return again and again.

Special attention It is worth paying for two municipal beaches - Blue Lagoon and Cape Racoto.

Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon - Family place. There is a bar of the territory for picnics. It is possible to play beach volleyball and basketball and much more. Also here is active nightlife, but again all parties Open Air are completely decent and focused on family visits.

There are always a lot of people here, in general, the place is very noisy and cheerful. Laughter, screams, some bullion, loud music - this is what will meet in the blue lagoon. Here you need to go with young children, because the bay is very shallow and drown here almost unreal, but walking the belt in transparent water and collect all sorts of pebbles or shells from the bottom.

There is a blue lagoon 15 km south from the port of Dixon, that is, from the center of Kuala Lumpur to it about 42-46 km, depends on exactly how to go. Almost all the megapolis hotels are organized by "beach flights", that is, exported to municipal beaches and take away their guests from there every day.

They need to be recorded in advance, and what are the beaches and what time transfers are organized, should be specified at the reception in the hotel itself or in advance, at the stage of booking the room in it.

The lagoon itself was dirty surrounded by low rocks covered with forests. A very nearby park reserve of birds, according to which you can also walk if desired, paying for the entrance of 2 rings (local currency). On the beach is full of bungalows, cozy corners and everything you need for a full rest, and boats and canoes are just standing on the shore and are available to everyone.

Although the beach is always filled with people, find an empty picturesque corner for beautiful photos It is not difficult, because the relief of the blue lagoon is quite complicated, as if divided into many cozy small territories. The winds here never happen, the sea is perfect all year round, with the exception of the jellyfish activity period, and the purity of sand and water will surprise even the most biased and demanding tourists.

Cape Racotdo

Beach Cape Racoto is at the foot of the cliff Tanjung Tuan, close to the Botanical Garden Reserve known in Malaysia, the entrance to which will cost 2 Ringitis, however, as in any other reserve along the coast.

The reserve is designed for comfortable walks and authentic photos at the same time. All paths here are asphalted, so you can safely walk even in the rain. All descent and lifts are equipped with ladders or bridges, with mandatory railings. The plants themselves are absolutely not "urged" artificially - this is the most common a tropical forest.

All paths lead to the top of the cape, on which the Portuguese lighthouse is located back in the 16th century. Of course, since that time it has not been reconstructed and looks quite reliably and even modern. The lighthouse is open to visits and from it you can make stunningly beautiful pictures with views of the sea.

And in good weather, that is, almost always, from here, it is excellent not only the entire bay, but also the coast of Indonesian Sumatra, which is almost forty kilometers from the lighthouse observation deck.

One of the paths leads to the beach Cape Racoto, you can get and bypassing the reserve, but through the rainforest with "decent sidewalks" to go shorter and more interesting.

The beach is very secluded. It is always small here, quietly and nothing bothers neither relaxation nor the pleasure of the sounds of the sea and the singing of birds. The water is purest, the sand is almost white. On the territory there are a lot of bungalows, hammocks, arbors and everything else, and all this is located in very unexpected places.

For seeking maximum solitude, the option is better not to find. There is this corner of a lonely paradise and absolute rest just 50-55 (depending on the route) kilometers from the center of Kuala Lumpur.

There are no civilization at Cape Racoto, so gathering here, you need to not forget to take water, food or something else that may be required. If you wish to ride on the picturesque bay, the canoe or the boat will be completely not difficult, they are standing along the water line.

Of course, in addition to these two, absolutely available and not requiring payment, beaches, there are many others, each of which has its own unique charm, and there is own highlight, whether it is underwater photographing or sailing races, scooter or unhurried catamarans. The beaches near Kuala Lumpur a lot and you just need to find among them the same, perfect.

If there is no desire to stay in the metropolis, but there is an intention to see such an unusual country like Malaysia, in general, then from Kuala Lumpur can be left absolutely on any island, in any of the beach complexes or hotels in the country, which in it is very much.

As travelers about rest in Kuala Lumpur speak, the place is almost universally, here you can find everything and for every taste.

Move is very simple - to the beaches and back on shutders from the hotel, and on your own - on a rented car or taxi. Prices for these services are very low, so there is no need to understand the routes of local bus transport.

The local monetary unit is consistently between 13-14 rubles, regardless of the month of the year, the prices are also different and prices are not stable in Malaysia only jellyfish and that - exclusively in January.

Perentian Kesil has a number of beautiful beaches, but the best is a huge and laid-named Long Beach. Sand on Long Beach small, white, and, because of the tides, water remains very small for the period, which makes for the ideal for swimming in warm waters.

Named in honor of white pigeons (famous in the local language, like Rava), which inhabit the island in large quantities, this tiny island is a refuge for wildlife. Since there are no roads on the island, only pedestrian tracks Can deliver tourists from one destination to another. With high rocky cliffs on one side of the island, the other side almost completely consists of white sandy beaches that are celebrating a beautiful azure sea.

Is the answer?

Malaysia is a developed state in Southeast Asia, in which there is something to see. Remember world famous towers - Petronas twins? They are located in the capital of this state, the city of Kuala - Lumpur.

In Malaysia, there are interesting national parks, the most famous of which - Taman - Negar, where the pristine nature of the jungle was preserved and can be observed in a wild environment for such large mammals such as elephants, tigers, buffaloes and other birds; In addition, it is possible to go fishing. In another National Park - Endau-Rompin - you can see rhinos. In the jungle of the island of Borneo, the part of which belongs to Malaysia, tourists have the opportunity to see the largest flower in the world - Rafflese. The country offers holidays for every taste - the noise and bustle of Kuala - Lumpur can be changed to the shamelessness of the beaches of the islands, to get acquainted with the history and culture of the state in Malacca museums or to do diving among the picturesque coral landscapes of the South China Sea.

This article will be discussed about two island resorts of Malaysia - Langkavi and Pananga. This brief overview, I hope, will help you choose the best option for recreation on these islands. So let's go!

Langkavi Island. He is the main island resort and the most famous among tourists. It can be considered a sample of the classic resort in South. It will fit perfectly in order to become a starting point for voyage on this exotic region of the planet. Langkawi will be convenient for both tourists who come with the help of travel agencies and independent travelers - with experience travel behind or without it. The infrastructure of the resort will provide comfortable rest Newlyweds or family, for lovers, sometimes disperse and distract from lying on the beach there are several excursions - for example, in mangrove thickets or cave with battle mice. Here you can see a rare view of an eagle with brick-colored wings or such an unusual animal like a sword. Langkawi is a Duty Friend zone and known as a place where you can buy alcohol, which is a rarity for this Muslim country, as well as cigarettes.

Beach territories are located near the airport, there is a major tourist area nearby. There are shops and restaurants near hotels, the local aquarium is located nearby. It is inferior to the scale of the capital, but also rich in representatives of the sea fauna, so it's not worth ignoring it.

Public transport is not here - only a taxi with a fixed price or hourly payment, as well as rental: bicycles, mopeds and cars. You can agree with the driver - a taxi driver, so that he will work for you a couple of days, burned down the sights.

Luxury lone hotels are located in the north of Langkawi, there is no street fuss and a calm atmosphere. Those who want to make purchases on the island must go to the capital - the city of Kuah: here you can "be souvenirs" souvenirs and other things.

You can get on Langkawi by the aircraft - from the capital of Malaysia Kuala - Lumpur, the Thailand Island - the resort of Phuket, from the city - the state of Singapore or from another Malaysian Island - Penang. Rolling you a local company - for example, Air Asia. There is also an option to get through the ferry from Thailand - it will be necessary to go to the island of Lipe or the city of Satun. Or on the bus directly from Bangkok - first to the pier Hat Yai, and then on the ferry to Langkawi.

Penang can also be reached by ferry.

Penang Island It will not be able to please the Beach Leiebell - this resort is not for them. The cleanliness of local beaches do not shine, the abundance of jellyfish also does not have to water procedures. But in this area, the spirit of times, here in architecture, the influence of China and England is powerful. And, of course, the traditions of Malaysia itself. The British strongly influenced the culture of the island, the city of Georgetown, in particular, is filled colonial style. Town District - Town will delight with old houses, which are still since the first Chinese immigrants. Some of them have been standing for several centuries. Landscapes of the city, pleaseing the eyes of a tourist who climbed the Penang Hill, stunning. You can get here on the funicular - the height of the hill is 830 meters. Here is the largest temple in Southeast Asia - Kek Lok Si, in the style of which they reflected Thai, Chinese and Burmese traditions. Here is the Ban Po Thar Pagoda, which has a height of thirty meters.

Panang is available from the "Big Earth", as the bridge is connected to it. This is a structure with a length of 13, 5 kilometers. You can get yourself on the leased transport or by bus. Such a journey will save you the means, but kills a lot of time. From the capital will have to go for five hours. You can get to Penang and on the ferry from Langkawi. It will take about three hours. Well, faster and the easiest way is the aircraft from Kuala - Lumpur, take 50 minutes. Or from Langkavi - for 35.

Is the answer?

If, in addition to visiting numerous attractions and admire the nature of Malaysia, you want to witness a magnificent honoring national holidays then you need to carefully choose time and city or area in the country. After all, local holidays are still entertainment! But you need to remember that some holidays are celebrated only in some regions, while other - throughout the country. To the latter belong birthday of the Prophet Mohammed(in January), Chinese New Year(January February), Labor Day (The 1 of May), Vesak (may 13), Birthday King Malaysia (June 7), Eid al Adha (July 28-29), Harie Merdeca (Independence Day, August 31), Day Malaysia(16 of September), Kurban-Bayram. (October 5), First day of Muharrama(first month of the Muslim calendar, October 25), Christmas (December 25). That is, even new Year January 1 (which is called Hari Tahun Baharu) is celebrated at all everywhere - in the areas of Kelantan, Johor, Kedah and another couple do not even think to help him. Or a popular holiday on the whole country, the Indian holiday Diwali is not celebrated on Sarawak (well, maybe only in families, but not at the state level), and in all other places it is celebrated. In general, if you want to witness the most magnificent and colorful events, go straight to the capital, in Kuala Lumpur. For example, at the festival Diwali. Sometimes it is called "dypali" or "festival of lights". This is the main Hindu holiday. The celebration symbolizes the victory of good evil, so in the city there are widespread candles, fireworks and lanterns, which adorn the statues of animals and gods, people give each other gifts, read the prayers of Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth and prosperity). Because of the manners of celebration and rituals, many compare this day with the pagan holidays of the crop.
Diwali happens at the end of October - early November. Over the days of the holiday, several events related to Hindu gods are honored. As a rule, the holiday lasts five days, and the third day of Diwali marks the official beginning of the Hindu New Year.
Before the dipali need to be removed and decorate the house and prepare special family dishes, well, and then processions and fireworks begin. To see the most magnificent celebration, go to little India in Kuala Lumpur. Buying new clothes is an important part of the holiday. And, of course, Indian food! Delicious snacks murukku. At large bazaars are especially popular. Also, people visit Hindu temples, participate in the creation of patterns from color rice (kolam), Henna tattoos are made on the streets, dance indian performances are held. Beauty!

Further, Weak - Buddhist holiday in honor of birth, enlightenment and death (Parinirvan's care) Gautama Buddha.
Local temples are decorated, in the evening they begin to shine everywhere paper lanterns (symbol of enlightenment). In the garden, the temples arrange oil lamps, residents give each other greeting cards with images of memorable events from the life of the Buddha. In the weights, residents go to temples and monasteries, flames burn there, meditate.

There is a tradition - to bypass around the monastery three times (in honor of three Buddhist jewels). These days can not be engaged in agriculture, which at least somehow causes harmful beings.
In the temples carry a treat, make charity donations and other good deeds. Vaschad is noted especially magnificent in areas with a large number of Chinese, Srilakayev or Thais among other inhabiting peoples - in Penang, Perake, Kuala Lumpur and Selangore (and in every Buddhist temple throughout the country).

Further, Ramadan. This is a month of mandatory for Muslims post.
Usually takes place in July. The most important holiday is during the daytime (from the beginning of the dawn to sunset) Muslims do not eat, do not drink, do not smoke. From reception of food, drink, smoking and intimate proximity. Most restaurants and shops are open these days, but with the exception of many Malay restaurants that are either completely closed, or open only at sunset. The most pleasant in this holiday is the night markets where you can try the most dumbfounders. And the fact that many restaurants and hotels reduce prices.
But on the other hand, the service during Ramadan is a bit worsening - it can be understood how hard to serve the guests in such a difficult time. A little patience! By the way, during Ramadan, the ferries and buses change the usual schedule of work. And the end of Ramadan, Eid al Adha, very magnificent is celebrated.

Before the holiday, the alms is going to the poor, during the holiday Muslims make a festive ritual prayer, beautifully dressed, cover a lush table, convene the neighbors, relatives and friends, give gifts, having fun, asking for forgiveness.

Another interesting holiday, which just falls on a high tourist season - Taiouasam. This is a Hindu festival that is celebrated in January or February and lasts, as a rule, three days.
Again, the holiday is based on religious events, and if more specifically, the goddess of Parvati handed the god of war to the Murugan spears, which he killed a demon. In general, the holiday symbolizes the victory of good over evil and truth over false. On this day, you will see numerous rites of worshiping this God of war, including in the form of dances - the dance of Kavadi commit all the Hindus of the city. The most massively celebrates this holiday in Kuala Lumpur: In the early morning, the pilgrims go from the temple of Sri Mach Mariamman to the sacred caves Batu (the final part of the procession is overcoming 272 steps).
Pilgrims are carrying a golden chariot with them, where the statue of God is Murugan. The path of 15 kilometers commit thousands of local residents, in national clothes, it looks incredible! It is believed that those who take part in the procession make thanksgiving for past happy moments or future, or, on the contrary, it is an act of repentance for incorrect misconduct. Many of the marchs permeate the body with metal hooks or spikes (apparently those who have grown. In the caves, they remove these glands and wounds), while others carry a pot of milk on the head.

If you want to visit some festival in the capital of Malaysia, it is difficult to exceed Tipus. Slightly more modest, although no less colorful processions occur in Georgetown, Ipoh (Persoch), and on Pangkor Island.

Malaysia is an unusual and bright country, not yet spoiled by the tourist business. Stormy nightlife is found only in the capital - Kuala Lumpur. But approximately half the territory of the country is still covered with virgin forests, and the incredible variety of flora and fauna is pleasantly striking. Especially like resting delicious fruits, often completely unfamiliar.

The extended coastline prepared to tourists an incredible number of beautiful beaches, mostly deserted. Maritime nature will enjoy divers and divers with their beauty and diversity.

The country is similar to Thailand with climate and nature, and more, perhaps, nothing. Malaysia Muslim state (though free in religious plan), here is not to meet the crowd of transvestites, available women and men, risky pleasures and entertainment.

Malaysia is a multinational state, of course, it affected its traditions, culture, which attracts ethnotourists here. It affected the kitchen - a bright mixing of Chinese, Malay, Indian culinary traditions.

Malaysia's life safety - among the best in Asia. Naturally, tourists here are also not bad. In the country comfortably relax, service is not bad even in inexpensive hotels, many variety of attractions, saturated excursions, interesting people. But the main thing, Malaysia is hospitable, welcoming and waiting for you.

Prices on vacation on Langkawi. July 2018.

tour cost

Visa registration for Russian citizens is not required.

We ordered tickets in March, flew through Kuala Lampur by Qatari airlines with a transit through Dohu - the cost of a ticket for one person turned out to be around 31000. Tickets to Langkavi local airlines turned out about 3500 per person and back.

Hotels on the island are not cheap. The room for two (children is free) in the boarding house (3 meals a day) cost about 120,000 for 10 days.

Food and products

Food prices are average, about how in Moscow - a modest dinner (1-2 dishes per person + dessert children) for 2 adults and 2 children accounted for about 3,500 rubles with drinks. We fed at the hotel restaurants, in urban prices are more affordable, there are fast foods with more budget prices, as in Moscow.

Souvenirs and other goods

On the island there are many Duty Free stores, the range of which coincides with duty-free shops at airports. Prices seemed to us even a bit more expensive than at the airport. Most of all surprised fruit prices, mango for 300 rubles / kg, Maracuy - 350 rubles / kg - very expensive, while quality leaves much to be better, the range is practically lacking.

What to take with you on vacation?

Adapter for outlet. In the country, the so-called British outlets, which differ from our three holes and distance. Some hotels are provided by request. But it is better to progress in advance, they are very expensive at the airport.

Where to stay better?

The hotel is best, to choose in the tourist area of \u200b\u200bBukit Bintang, near the stores and good transport junction. From there you can conveniently and quickly get to all attractions. I took a small hotel, with the most positive reviews About cleanliness, freshness of the interior. As a rule, the first category of rooms without windows and is minimal in area, literally space for the bed. This is really enough, given that the hotel is practically not available. And when you sleep, the absence of the window is quite by the way: you can sleep in silence and darkness until the morning. The cost of hotels 3 stars, on average 50 dollars. Most budget hotels work without meals. They are in principle there is no restaurant or cafe in the building itself. But there are no problems with food, within walking distance of mini markets and cafes, so, there is where to eat. The room has a kettle.

What to take yourself in the resort?

Sky Bar is a very cool view of a straight view of the Petronas towers. Here you can relax, drink cocktails, make new acquaintances and make very cool photos. Elegant atmosphere. Basically, the European Public. Quality music. All are open to communication. Immediately get acquainted. It is best to come to the sunset to catch the city at the light of the sun and in the night.

Klcc Park - Park in the city center. Free admission. You can just walk and enjoy nature. On the bridge, cool photos are obtained on the towers. In the center of the park Public pool, where anyone can take over. Big playground. The park is so conveniently located that the walk can be combined with visits to the oceanarium and shopping center.

Suria KLCC is a shopping center, many interesting brands that I have not seen in other Asian countries. I recommend visit on the 4th floor Petrosains, The Discovery Center. Someone will say that it is only for children. But believe me, there is so interesting. Interactive with advanced technology museum. You can learn and lead to the actions of the modern civilization technology. I personally made a lot of discoveries for myself. At 20:00, a light-music show fountains is held near the shopping center.

Caves Batu is the second business card of Kuala Lumpur and the country as a whole. Grand statue and high staircase. It will take no little time to get DR top. But it's worth it. I really liked the atmosphere and energy of the temples located inside the caves. Need to be careful on the stairs, in addition to large number Pilgrims and tourists are a lot of wild monkeys.

Ptrajaya is a new administrative center of Malaysia. I would call him a "perfect city", because The whole city was built at the end of the 20th century in accordance with modern requirements and concrete plan. It is really perfect and as if not real. Such a feeling that we were the only creatures in this city. We walked along the embankment, lunch. I recommend to visit the Putra Mosque.
