Your holiday starts the moment you open the guide..."The best guide available. Packed to the brim with colour photos, maps and essential information" - Amazon Reader review. Malaysia beckons with an astounding mix of lush rainforests, gorgeous beaches and precipitous mountains, and this latest volume in the award-winning Dorling Kindersley "Eyewitness Travel Guide" series covers every aspect of this fascinating country. Nature lovers can swim with colourful fish off the shores of numerous islands or spot orangutans and other exotic jungle-dwellers in Sarawak. Using the unique cutaway maps and 3D models explore the ultra-modern skyscrapers of Kuala Lumpur and Singapore which overwhelm the colonial buildings still found in the centre of both metropolises. Full-colour maps, city plans, thematic tours and walks enable you to explore the capital and the regions in depth. Whether discovering the slopes of Mount Kinabalu or shopping in Kuala Lumpur, the "Eyewitness" guide to Malaysia and Singapore is indispensable. It is a winner of the "Guardian" & "Observer" 'Best Guide Books' Award and "Wanderlust Magazine" Silver Award 'Top Guidebook'.
