Melaka
Malacca is the historical state of Malaysia, rich with heritage buildings, ancient landmarks and colonial structures. It was here that colonial forces first made contact with Malaysia, which eventually shaped the country into its current economic and political system.
Even Sir Frank Swettenham, the Resident-General of the Federated Malay States found Melaka enchanting. In 1906 he wrote that "if a visitor has eyes to see and appreciate the colours, the movement, the strange people and their strangely beautiful surroundings, the scene will live in his memory for all time."

Genting Highland
Genting Highlands, 2K meters above sea level. A magnificent city on the hilltop, is but a mere 50km from Kuala Lumpur. It offers a cool respite from the hustle and bustle of the city capital. Crisp invigorating mountain air complemented by majestic scenery spreads out before your eyes. Lush green tropical rainforest shrouded in a veil of perpetual mist makes it hard to believe that you are just minutes away from the sweltering equatorial heat and the ever dusty city. Here, consistent temperatures between 16 and 23 degrees provide natural air conditioning. Among other attractions is the Genting Skyway, the longest cable car in South East Asia. You will be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and valleys from the cable car. There are six hotels with more than 10,000 guest rooms and suites for you to choose from, and the First World hotel is the biggest hotel in the world.
Take the express bus from major bus terminals such as Puduraya, Pasar Rakyat, KL Sentral or Terminal PUTRA LRT Gombak. The one way fare will cost you RM7.50 for adult and RM5.80 for children.
Going up by car or taxi is convenient and hassle free as the roads up the mountains are wide and well maintained. If you have your own car, do a slow drive up and enjoy the beautiful scenery and cool air up the mountains.

Getting To KL, Malaysia (Part 2)
Budget airline was practically unheard of in Malaysia until AirAsia took the aviation industry by storm in 2002. With an on-the-dot tagline "Now Everyone Can Fly", AirAsia made many non-travellers into avid travellers by offering tickets at more than 50% discount compared to conventional airlines.
The no frills concept, which means that no meals will be provided or seats without numbers, was never an issue for travellers on a budget. In merely 5 years, AirAsia has become the most successful Malaysian business venture, even winning the coveted "Best Low Cost Airline - Asia" award last year.
So, check out the many offers that of AirAsia throughout the year. The faster you book your flight, the cheaper the price of the ticket. Weekend and public holiday fares are generally higher than weekday fares. You can book your tickets online or at the various ticketing counters nationwide, among which is at the KL Sentral Station, the transportation hub of Kuala Lumpur.
