The modern skyscrapers rub shoulders with traditional culture and colonial architecture. Your sightseeing tour will feature visits to Karyaneka Handicraft Centre, the National Monument and Cenotaph. Photo stops will also be made at many of the major sites including the Petronas Towers, the Gate of the King's Palace and the National Mosque.

DAY 4 - Included excursion to the city of Malacca, which is a living museum, testimony to its colourful past of Malay Sultanates, Portuguese, Dutch and English colonists. It is a city built in a series of twisting, turning alleys along a river. See A Formosa, the only remaining gate of a once formidable Portuguese fortress built in 1511 and the oldest surviving European architectural remains in Asia, St. Paul's Hill, the Dutch Square and Chinese Hill. After lunch you will also visit the Cheng Hoon Teng temple, which follows the principles of feng shui. This is followed by a stroll through the street of antiques. DAY 5 - Today you will take the scenic drive to the laid-back resort of Cherating, famous for its 12 mile white sandy beach, for an overnight stay. You'll find plenty of shops selling batik and other handicrafts along Cherating's main street, along with bars and restaurants.
