What is Malaysia known for?
Malaysia
- Malaysia, country of Southeast Asia, lying just north of the Equator, that is composed of two noncontiguous regions: Peninsular Malaysia (Semenanjung Malaysia), also called West Malaysia (Malaysia Barat), which is on the Malay Peninsula, and East Malaysia (Malaysia Timur), which is on the island of Borneo.
- The Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, lies in the western part of the peninsula, about 25 miles (40 km) from the coast; the administrative centre, Putrajaya, is located about 16 miles (25 km) south of the capital.
Malaysia has so much to offer, here are some of the things Malaysia is known for.
Street Food
White tablecloth? Confounding cutlery? Snooty waiters? A roof? No thanks. In Malaysia, the best food is served in the humblest surroundings and involves the least amount of fuss. The country’s seemingly countless vendors, such as those found at George Town's famous Lorong Baru:, serve delicious dishes from mobile carts, stalls and shophouses, many still employing recipes and techniques handed down from previous generations. And in addition to informality, ubiquity and quality, there's also variety; on a single Malaysian street you’re likely to encounter Malay, regional Chinese, southern Indian and Western cuisines.
Snorkelling, Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu
Though eastern Peninsular Malaysia has several islands offering unparalleled underwater activities, amazing Pulau Perhentian: wins flippers-down when it comes to attracting snorkellers. Perhaps it's the water itself: clear and ethereally blue, the seas surrounding Perhentian draw a huge variety of colourful marine life, from sharks and tropical fish to turtles and nesting urchins. Living coral beds lie close to shore, and on most days you won't have to swim much further than the jetty at Long Beach before finding yourself inside a veritable rainbow cloud of fish of all shapes and sizes.
Mt Kinabalu, Sabah
It is the abode of the spirits, the highest mountain in Malaysia, the dominant geographic feature of North Borneo, the bone-shaking rock that has worn out countless challengers. Mt Kinabalu: is all of this, and one of the most popular tourism attractions in Borneo. Don’t worry; you will still have moments of utter freedom, breathing in the only alpine air in Sabah, and if you’re lucky, enjoying a horizon that stretches to the Philippines. Or it will be cloudy. Whatever: the climb is still bloody exhilarating.
Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur
Plumes of smoke curl upwards from smouldering coils of incense, flower garlands hang like pearls from the necks of Hindu statues and the call to prayer punctuates the honk of traffic. The temples and mosques of the city’s Hindus, Muslims and Chinese Buddhists are crammed shoulder-to-shoulder in this atmospheric neighbourhood: along the River Klang that epitomises multicultural Malaysia. Don’t miss eating at the daytime Madras Lane hawker stalls or savouring the bustle and fun of the night market along Jln Petaling.
Diving, Pulau Sipadan
Sometimes it seems as if the world’s most colourful marine life – from the commonplace to utterly alien fish, molluscs and reptiles, creatures that seem to have swum through every slice of the colour wheel – considers the seawall of Sipadan: to be prime real estate. They live here, play here, hunt here and eat here, and you, lucky thing, may dance an underwater ballet with them. For any diver, from the amateur to seasoned veterans like Jacques Cousteau, Sipadan is the ultimate underwater adventure.
Cameron Highlands, Perak
Misty mountains, wellies, Tudor-themed architecture, 4WDs, scones, strawberries and tea plantations all converge in this distinctly un-Southeast Asian destination. Activities such as self-guided hiking, nature trekking and agricultural tourism make the Cameron Highlands: one of Malaysia’s more worthwhile and approachable active destinations. The area also represents a clever escape within a vacation, as the weather in the Cameron Highlands tends to stay mercifully cool year-round.
George Town's Colonial District, Penang
At one point abandoned by locals and seemingly forgotten by tourists, in the last couple of years George Town: has emerged to become one of Southeast Asia’s hottest destinations. The 2008 Unesco World Heritage declaration sparked a frenzy of cultural preservation, and the city’s charismatic shophouses have been turned into house museums, boutique hotels and chic restaurants. Aggressive drivers aside, it’s also one of the best cities in Southeast Asia to explore on foot. And did we mention that George Town is also home to some of Malaysia’s best food?
Kuching, Sarawak
Borneo's most sophisticated and stylish city: brings together an atmospheric old town and waterfront, interesting museums, fine cuisine for all budgets, and chic nightspots. But Kuching's biggest draw is what's nearby: some of Sarawak's finest natural sites, easy to visit on day trips. You can spot semi-wild orangutans or search out a giant rafflesia flower in the morning, look for proboscis monkeys and wild crocs on a sundown cruise in the South China Sea, and then dine on superfresh seafood or crunchy midin fern tips.
Trekking, Kelabit Highlands, Sarawak
The air is clean and cool, the rice fields impossibly green, the local cuisine scrumptious and the trekking: – from longhouse to longhouse – some of the best in Borneo, but the star attraction here is the people, justifiably famous for their ready smiles and easy way with visitors. Getting to Sarawak's remote northeastern corner is half the fun – you can either bust your butt on logging roads for 12 hours or take an exhilarating flight in a 19-seat Twin Otter turboprop.
Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, Sabah
There is no primate quite like the orangutan. These great apes are a stirring combination: brawn and grace; raw power and gentle restraint; stupid amounts of cuteness and even more cuteness. And behind their sparkling eyes, deep reserves of what we can only call wisdom and, sometimes, sadness. All these complicated observations occur at once at the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre:, where visitors can see the ginger apes from an (admittedly often crowded) viewing platform, the highlight of many a Sabah trip.
Visiting Longhouses, Sarawak
There's no better way to get a sense of indigenous tribal culture than to visit a longhouse: – or, better yet, stay over. Essentially a whole village under a single roof, these dwellings can be longer than two football pitches and contain dozens of family units, each of which opens onto a covered common veranda used for economic activities, socialising and celebrations. All longhouses now enjoy at least some modern amenities, but many still have at least a few headhunted skulls on display.
Batu Punggul, Sabah
Not many travellers make it down here, deep in the Borneo interior. Their loss, because Batu Punggul:, an incredible rock formation that juts like a limestone knife into the air, and more importantly the primary jungle that surrounds it, is one of the most stunning sites on an island full of jaw-droppers. To get here you will access tea-and-mud rivers, crossing under clouds of ancient-growth trees. The reward: a sharptooth rock that presents a physical challenge to climbers, and deep travel Zen satisfaction for dedicated explorers.
Markets, Kota Bharu, Kelantan
A centre for Malaysian crafts, visitors to Kota Bharu: can lose themselves shopping for traditional items such as batik, kain songket (fabric with gold thread), hand-crafted silverware, hand-carved puppets and locally made kites. Both the Central Market and the nearby Bazaar Buluh Kubu are great places to buy spices, brassware and other local goods. For shoppers inclined to roam, the bikeable road from town to PCB beach is dotted with factories and workshops dedicated to the creation of crafts of all sorts.
Pulau Tioman, Pahang
Welcome to Paradise. What's your pleasure? Swimming off any of the dozens of serenely beautiful beaches that run from north to south along Pulau Tioman's western shore? Challenging the serious surf that pounds the island's eastern beaches at Kampung Juara? Perhaps hiking is more your thing. If so, Tioman's myriad trails will challenge your legs, lungs and internal compass. Care to chill out by a waterfall? Swing in a hammock all day with a good book? Or simply do nothing? All of these goals (and others) are infinitely obtainable on Pulau Tioman:.
Taman Negara, Pahang
To visit Taman Negara: is to step back in time and experience Malaysia as it was before civilisation came along and replaced primeval jungle with endless rubber trees and palm-oil plantations. Inside this shadowy, nigh-impenetrable jungle, ancient trees with gargantuan buttressed root systems dwarf luminescent fungi, orchids, and flora rare and beautiful. Making their home within are elephants, tigers and leopards, as well as smaller wonders such as flying squirrels, lizards, monkeys, deer, tapirs and serpents of all sorts.
Jonker’s Walk Night Market, Melaka
The biggest party in Melaka is every Friday and Saturday night when Jln Hang Jebat hosts the massively popular Jonker Walk Night Market:. Start by the river across from the pink Stadthuys building that glows in the street lights and make your way through the crowds towards the karaoke stage at Jln Tokong Besi. Along the way you’ll pass stalls selling everything from cheap underwear and trinkets to fresh sugarcane juice. Haggle, nibble and maybe stop by the Geographér Cafe for a cold beer and some sidewalk-side people-watching.
Pulau Langkawi, Kedah
Pulau Langkawi: richly deserves its title as the 'Jewel of Kedah': its white-sand beaches, exclusive resorts, acclaimed diving and pristine jungles all live up to the metaphor. Cheap booze (Langkawi is duty-free) and a decent restaurant and bar scene provide just the hint of a party scene, while a glut of kid-friendly activities make it a great destination for families. And best of all, off-the-beaten-track–type exploration will reveal that Pulau Langkawi has managed to retain its endearing Malay kampung (village) soul.
Festivals, Batu Caves
It’s always a very busy and colourful scene at this sacred Hindu shrine: but, if you can, time your visit for a holy day. The biggest event is Thaipusam, when around one million pilgrims converge on the giant limestone outcrop a few kilometres north of KL. Guarding the 272 steps that lead up to the main Temple Cave is the 43m gilded statue of Lord Murugan, assisted by a platoon of lively macaques who show little fear in launching raids on tourists’ belongings.
Danum Valley
'Walk quickly' our guide tells us. 'Fire ants.' And we wonder, again, why is this fun? But it is. It is one of the most stirring experiences in Borneo: walking through the Danum Valley Conservation Area:, a forest that is older than our species. And while this is no open African savannah, and spotting animals can be difficult in the brush, the wildlife is all the more amazing for that: iridescent flying lizards, curious frogs, emerald pit vipers and, peering from behind its headlight eyes, an adorable slow loris.

What is Ireland known for?
Ireland
- Ireland, Irish Éire, country of western Europe occupying five-sixths of the westernmost major island of the British Isles.
Ireland has so much to offer, here are some of the things Ireland is known for.
Dingle, County Kerry
Dingle: is the quintessential Irish town in all its colourful beauty. Sharing its name with the picturesque, ruin-strewn peninsula jutting into the Atlantic from County Kerry, Dingle is a delight: fishing boats unload fish and shellfish that couldn't be any fresher if you caught it yourself, many pubs are untouched since their earlier incarnations as old-fashioned shops, artists sell their creations (including beautiful jewellery with Irish designs) at intriguing boutiques, and toe-tapping trad sessions take place around roaring pub fires.
Connemara, County Galway
A filigreed coast of tiny coves and beaches is the Connemara Peninsula's: beautiful border with the wild waters of the Atlantic. Characterful roads lead you from one village to another, each with trad pubs and restaurants serving seafood chowder cooked from recipes that are family secrets. Inland the scenic drama is even greater. In fantastically desolate valleys, green hills, yellow wildflowers and wild streams reflecting the blue sky provide elemental beauty. Rambles take you far from other people, and back to a simpler time.
Dublin
Ireland's capital and largest city: by some stretch is the main gateway into the country, and it has enough distractions to keep visitors engaged for at least a few days. From world-class museums and entertainment, to superb dining and top-grade hotels, Dublin has all the baubles of a major international metropolis. But the real clinchers are the Dubliners themselves, who are friendlier, more easygoing and more welcoming than the burghers of virtually any other European capital. And it's the home of Guinness.
Causeway Coast
County Antrim's Causeway Coast is an especially dramatic backdrop for Game of Thrones filming locations. Put on your walking boots by the swaying Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, then follow the rugged coastline for 16.5 spectacular kilometres, passing Ballintoy Harbour (aka the Iron Islands' Lordsports Harbour) and the geological wonder of the Giant's Causeway: with its outsized basalt columns, as well as cliffs and islands, sandy beaches and ruined castles, before finishing with a dram at the Old Bushmills Distillery.
Wild Atlantic Way
Depending on what direction you travel, the craggy, crenellated Donegal coastline is either the dramatic finale of the Wild Atlantic Way: or its breathtaking beginning. Ireland’s northwestern corner is an untamed collection of soaring cliffs (the tallest in Europe), lonely, sheep-speckled headlands and, between them, secluded coves and long stretches of white, powdery sand – among them, in the county's southwest, is Rossnowlagh, one of Europe’s premier surf beaches and a hotspot for big-wave surfers.
The Pub
Every town and hamlet has at least one: no matter where you go, you'll find that the social heart of the country beats loudest in the pubs, which are still the best places to discover what makes Ireland tick. In suitable surroundings – whether a traditional pub such as John Benny's: in Dingle with flagstone floors and live music, or a more modern bar – take a moment or an evening to listen for that beating heart…and drink some decent beer in the process.
Ring of Kerry
Driving around the Ring of Kerry: is an unforgettable experience in itself, but you don't need to limit yourself to the main route. Along this 179km loop around the Iveragh Peninsula, there are countless opportunities for detours. From near Killorglin it's a short hop up to the beautiful, little-known Cromane Peninsula. Between Portmagee and Waterville, you can explore the Skellig Ring, while the peninsula's interior offers mesmerising mountain views. And that's just for starters. Wherever your travels take you, remember to charge your camera batteries!
Galway City
One word to describe Galway city:? Craic! Ireland's liveliest city literally hums through the night at music-filled pubs where you can hear three old guys playing spoons and fiddles, or a hot young band. Join the locals as they bounce from place to place, never knowing what fun lies ahead but certain of the possibility. Add in local bounty such as the famous oysters and nearby adventure on the Connemara Peninsula and the Aran Islands, and the fun never ends.
Traditional Music
Western Europe's most vibrant folk music is Irish traditional music, which may have earned worldwide fame thanks to the likes of Riverdance but is best expressed in a 'trad session' – a loosely organised performance in an old-fashioned pub. The west of Ireland is particularly musical: from Donegal down to Kerry there are centres of musical excellence, none more so than Doolin: in County Clare, the unofficial capital of Irish music, where you'll find pubs and 'music houses' – private dwellings known for their sessions and open to the public.
Glendalough, County Wicklow
St Kevin knew a thing or two about magical locations. When he chose a remote cave on a glacial lake nestled at the base of a forested valley as his monastic retreat:, he inadvertently founded a settlement that would later become one of Ireland's most dynamic universities and, in our time, one of the country's most beautiful ruined sites. The remains of the settlement (including an intact round tower), coupled with the stunning scenery, are unforgettable.
Walking and Hiking
Yes, you can visit the country easily enough by car, but Ireland is best explored on foot, whether you opt for a gentle afternoon stroll along a canal towpath or take on the challenge of any of the 43 waymarked long-distance routes. There are mountain hikes and coastal walks, such as the Causeway Coast Way:, and you can explore villages along the way or steer clear of civilisation by traipsing along lonely moorland and across barren bogs. All you'll need is a decent pair of boots and, inevitably, a rain jacket.
Titanic Belfast
The construction of the world's most famous ocean liner is celebrated in high-tech, multimedia glory at this wonderful museum:. Not only can you explore virtually every detail of the Titanic's construction, including a simulated 'fly-through' of the ship from keel to bridge, but you can place yourself in the middle of the industrial bustle that was Belfast's shipyards at the turn of the 20th century. The experience is heightened by the use of photography, audio and – perhaps most poignantly – the only footage of the actual Titanic still in existence.
Clare Coast
Bathed in the golden glow of the late-afternoon sun, the iconic Cliffs of Moher: are but one of the splendours of County Clare. From a boat bobbing below, the towering stone faces have a jaw-dropping dramatic beauty that's enlivened by scores of seabirds, including cute little puffins. Down south in Loop Head, pillars of rock towering above the sea have abandoned stone cottages, the existence of which is inexplicable. All along the coast are charming villages such as trad-session-filled Ennistymon and the surfer destination of Lahinch.
A Gaelic Football or Hurling Match
It depends on whether you're in a football or hurling stronghold (some, such as County Cork, are both), but attending a match of the county's chosen sport is not just a unique Irish experience but also a key to unlocking local passions and understanding one of the cultural pillars of Ireland. Whether you attend a club football match in County Galway, an intercounty hurling battle between old foes such as Kilkenny and Tipperary, or an All-Ireland final at Croke Park:, you cannot help but be swept up in the emotion of it all.
Kilkenny City
From its regal castle to its soaring medieval cathedral, Kilkenny: exudes a permanence and culture that have made it an unmissable stop on journeys to the south and west. Its namesake county boasts scores of artisans and craftspeople and you can browse their wares at Kilkenny's classy shops and boutiques. Chefs eschew Dublin in order to be close to the source of Kilkenny's wonderful produce, and you can enjoy the local brewery's beers at scores of delightful pubs.
Brú na Bóinne, County Meath
Looking at once ancient and yet eerily futuristic, Newgrange's immense, round, white stone walls topped by a grass dome is one of the most extraordinary sights you'll ever see. Part of the vast Neolithic necropolis Brú na Bóinne: (the Boyne Palace), it contains Ireland's finest Stone Age passage tomb, predating Egypt's pyramids by some six centuries. Most extraordinary of all is the tomb's precise alignment with the sun at the time of the winter solstice.
Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary
Soaring up from the green Tipperary pastures, this ancient fortress: takes your breath away at first sight. The seat of kings and churchmen who ruled over the region for more than 1000 years, it rivalled Tara as a centre of power in Ireland for 400 years. Entered through the 15th-century Hall of the Vicars Choral, its impervious walls guard an awesome enclosure with a complete round tower, a 13th-century Gothic cathedral and the most magnificent 12th-century Romanesque chapel in Ireland.
Links Golf
If Scotland is the home of golf, then Ireland is where it goes on holiday. The best spots are along the sea, where the country's collection of seaside links are dotted in a steady string along virtually the entire Irish coastline, each carved into the undulating, marram-grass-covered landscapes. Some of the world's best-known courses, including 2019 Open host Royal Portrush:, share spectacular scenery with lesser-known gems, and each offers golfers the opportunity to test their skills against the raw materials provided by Mother Nature.
Cork City
The Republic's second city: is second only in terms of size – in every other respect it will bear no competition. A tidy, compact city centre is home to an enticing collection of art galleries, museums and – most particularly – places to eat. From cheap cafes to top-end gourmet restaurants, Cork excels, which is hardly a surprise given the county's exceptional foodie reputation. At the heart of it is the simply wonderful English Market, a covered produce market that is an attraction unto itself.
Derry
History runs deep in Northern Ireland's second city:. The symbols of the country's sectarian past are evident, from the 17th-century city walls built to protect Protestant settlers, to the latter forcing the adoption of its Loyalist name, Londonderry. Explore its tormented past by walking the walls, visiting the Bogside and the famous murals that tell the tale of resistance and defiance, before losing yourself in Derry's superb live-music scene and terrific nightlife. You're almost certainly guaranteed a memorable night out.
Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery, County Sligo
One of Europe's most significant megalithic monuments, the collection of stone circles, passage tombs and dolmens at Carrowmore: is rich in superlatives: the oldest Stone Age monument in Ireland, and one of the largest cemeteries of its kind in Europe. What makes a visit here truly fascinating, however, is the ongoing process of discovery, as archaeologists continue to excavate new monuments and, most excitingly, piece together clues as to the site’s deeper meaning and connection to the world around it, including its mathematical relationship with the rising and setting of the sun at Halloween.

Where is Eritrea?
-
Eritrea is located in Africa.
-
Eritrea is an East African country in the Horn of Africa. The coast of Eritrea lies along the Red Sea, while Djibouti, Sudan, and Ethiopia surround the country's other borders. The GPS coordinates of Eritrea are a latitude of 15.1794° N and a longitude of 39.7823° E.
-
In the north, Eritrea reaches an extremity of 18°00' N. As part of the cape of Ras Kasar, the northernmost point of the country falls on the water border between Sudan and Eritrea. The body of water that Ras Kasar lies along is the Red Sea.
-
The southernmost point of Eritrea is along the border that separates Djibouti and Eritrea. More specifically, it falls in the Southern Denkalya Subregion of Africa. With a latitude of 12°22' N, this point is southwest of the African country of Djibouti.
-
In the east, Eritrea extends as far as a longitude of 43°7' E. Similar to the southernmost point of the country, the easternmost point is also part of the Djibouti-Eritrea border, though it is part of a different subregion. Eritrea’s easternmost point is considered part of the Southern Red Sea Region of the country.
-
The westernmost point of extremity in Eritrea has a longitude of 36°50' E. Positioned in the region of Gash-Barka, Eritrea’s furthest point to the west is along the border between Eritrea and Sudan. This point lies to the west of Teseney, which is a small town near the Gash River.
-
The total area of the country is approximately 45,405 square miles. About 38,996 square miles of Eritrea’s total area is made up of land regions, while the other 6,409 square miles are land areas, like rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and other forms, making Eritrea roughly 86% land and 14% water. From a measurement standpoint, Eritrea’s total area is about 186.05 miles wide and 138.46 miles long.
-
Eritrea‘s population size as of 2019 is about 5,253,277 people. While populations are very prone to fluctuation, the current population is equal to a mere 0.07% of the world’s total population. With this in mind, it makes sense that Eritrea is 120th most populous country in the world, out of a total of 196 countries by comparison.

Flag of Cambodia
