The Georgetown Must Sees
First a drive out to the Kek Lok Si. The temple of 10,000 buddhas is on a hill outside Georgetown so the views are great.

The Journey to Georgetown
George town is 350 km from the Cameron Highlands so a few diversions along the way are needed. First stop was the Parak Cave Temple
Exploring The Cameron Highlands
Malaysia’s Cameron Highlands are a welcome respite from the heat in the lowlands. The main draw is the beautiful green landscape covered by tea plantations. There are commercial tourist attractions but they are very gentle and about tea or wildlife.
Wandering Around Malacca
Malacca is the ultimate tourist state and of course a UNESCO heritage site.
What to See in Kuala Lumpur
I’d have been happy spending several days just wandering around Chinatown but its a shame to not make the effort to see the rest of a city.
Shops and Temples in Kuala Lumpur
Shops and Markets
To shop for a fake anything go to the Chinese night market running along Petaling Street. Handbags and clothes seem to be most popular but I found some lovely little statues.
