Malaysia is a very popular tourist location. Although not as well known as other Southeast Asian countries like Thailand and Indonesia, it was once ranked the ninth most popular tourist destination in the world. Usually when in Malaysia, people visit Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital, Malacca, Langkawi, or some of the famous islands such as Redang or Perhentian. Some of the most famous and most visited landmarks include the Petronas Towers, the KL Tower, Batu Caves, and the national mosque.

​

When people visit they often go see the orangutans since they're much more common than in other places around the world and if you're looking for some more active things to do you can also go diving and snorkeling in the clear ocean by the many beaches, or hiking on Mount Kinabalu.
