From May 23 to 26, the 2014 Taipei International Travel Fair, organized by Tourism Malaysia, pulled out all the stops to offer consumers a colorful summer travel experience featuring shopping, fashion, history, food, and theme parks. A range of limited-time summer promotions were launched, including an exclusive fair flash sale price of just NT$12,900 for a 4-day, 3-night package — the lowest price across the entire venue. This allows you not only to save money but also to experience the unique charm of Southeast Asia.

In addition, in conjunction with this major summer travel fair, this Saturday and Sunday (May 24 and 25), Tourism Malaysia will also host the “2014 Malaysia Tourism Year: Asia’s Charm at Your Fingertips” event at the atrium of Taipei Xin Yi Breeze Center. Visitors can experience the most authentic Malaysian culture firsthand. World-touring dance group Touche Production and the adorable Pahang State Children’s Traditional Instrument Performance Troupe will also perform dynamic Malaysian dances and music on-site. There will also be a variety of attractive offers such as round-trip flight tickets, gourmet tastings and cooking demonstrations. This year, in collaboration with SONY and Bandai Namco, there will even be a realistic F1 racing experience at Sepang International Circuit. The event is packed with exciting content and plenty of great prizes.

Fashionable Kuala Lumpur – Experience the Allure of Southeast Asia

Kuala Lumpur, named one of Asia’s best shopping cities, is an international metropolis that leads Asian fashion trends and attracts countless tourists every year. Whether it’s the world’s tallest twin towers, the PETRONAS Twin Towers; Kuala Lumpur’s largest shopping mall, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur; the food haven of Petaling Street; or the Malaysian Hindu sanctuary, Batu Caves, located in the suburbs — all are unforgettable attractions. This time, we’ll also take you to the newest hotspot: i-City Digital Light City, Malaysia’s first large-scale LED light-themed attraction. At night, the entire city is enveloped in LED lights, with various artificial LED light trees glowing in different colors, illuminating the urban nightscape. Viewed from afar, it resembles a sparkling forest of light, leaving a lifelong impression.

Malaysia has seen a surge in mural art trends in recent years. Last year’s opening of the “Artistic 3D Mural Park” in Kuala Lumpur features 80 stunning 3D street art murals. Every visitor here unleashes their creativity or playful photography skills. Art and culture add even more vibrancy to this fashionable and dynamic city. Malaysia’s largest collection of mural art awaits your visit.
