Located in Malaysia, Langkawi is world-renowned for its stunning landscapes and mythical legends, boasting 99 breathtaking natural attractions. In 2007, it became the first UNESCO-recognized geopark in Southeast Asia. The Langkawi SkyCab and the world’s longest curved suspension bridge attract numerous visitors each year. Meanwhile, Penang, known as the "Pearl of the Orient," is Malaysia’s second-largest city. It blends cultural elements from China, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Britain, and is home to many well-preserved colonial-era British buildings, such as the colonial-style Penang City Hall and the George Town Clock Tower, which commemorates Queen Victoria’s 60th year on the throne.

As for the ancient city of Malacca, which attracts thousands of tourists from around the world each year, it is rich in historical and cultural landmarks from China, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Britain. Whether it’s the architecture left behind by Zheng He’s voyages during the Ming Dynasty or landmarks such as the Portuguese A Famosa Gate and the Dutch Red Square, visitors can feel as though they’ve stepped into medieval Europe. It is truly an open-air museum of antiquity and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.
