KLCC PARK

The creation of KLCC Park was inspired by the idea of integrating man’s creation with nature when the late Roberto Burle Marx was assigned the project. The park presents us with tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city. It features many combinations of man-made designs such as cements, and natural features such as trees and wood. It is designed to showcase a heritage of tropical greenery in the city.

How To Get There:

By flight

The easiest method of getting to Redang would be to fly direct on Berjaya Air from Kl or Singapore. Kuala Terengganu (KT) may be the gateway to Redang along with other islands within the marine park which is offered by AirAsia, Malaysia Air carriers and Firefly in addition to by coaches running regular services between KT along with other major cities and metropolitan areas. The daily flight of Berjaya Air each back and forth from Kl and Singapore costs about RM249 one-way and RM350 one-way correspondingly. The airport terminal is connected by streets to each of resorts an operated by Berjaya group, however transfers in the airport terminal to elsewhere will need a combined boat and vehicle ride that must definitely be arranged ahead of time. Observe that the plane tickets utilise the secondary international airports of Subang(SZB) in Kl and Seletar(XSP) in Singapore rather than KL Worldwide(KUL) and Changi(SIN) correspondingly. A substantially cheaper if somewhat less convenient choice is to fly to Kuala Terengganu, a 1-hour flight from Kl, and continue came from here by boat. You will find six plane tickets daily on MAS and Air Asia, having a full one-way fare costing around RM170, but advance costs will go as little as RM80.

PANGKOR ISLAND / PULAU PANGKOR

Situated just off the west coast of Perak in Peninsular Malaysia is one of the most enchanting islands you'll ever come across.

It is heavily promoted as a low-key tourist destination by the Malaysian government, but fishing and fish products remain major industries.

Dried Seafood

Remembering Pangkor's past...

Historically, Pangkor was a refuge for local fishermen, merchants and pirates. In the 17th century, the Dutch built a fort in an effort to control the Perak tin trade. In 1874, it was the location of a historic treaty between the British government and a contender for the Perak throne (The Pangkor Treaty), which began the British colonial domination of the Malay Peninsula.

Pangkor Nowadays…

Pangkor today is a thriving tourist destination that somehow does not reflect her turbulent past. Visitors will be charmed by the serenity of her fishing villages, her small but bustling towns and her splendid selection of world-class holiday resorts.

Pangkor is famous for its fine beaches and a mix of low budget to 5 star accommodations. Teluk Nipah and Coral Bay on the north west of the island is extremely popular with travellers from Europe. The quality of sand in the Pasir Bogak Beach is far superior to that elsewhere on the island. The sand is golden brown, quite similar to most leading prime beaches. There are a few resorts in Teluk Nipah or Nipah Bay.

Tourist Attractions…

• Pangkor Town
• Fishing Villages
• Fu Lin Kong Temple
• Kali Amman Temple

How To Get There…

Currently Berjaya Air is the only airline that is operating flights to Pangkor Airport (PKG), from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB).

Buses from many parts of the country arrive frequently in Lumut at the bus station which is opposite the Lumut Jetty. Tourists are not allowed to bring their cars to the island; however, motorcycles and bicycles can be transported.

Ferry services are frequent (every 30 mins during the day, RM 10 for a return ticket). The ferry takes 40 minutes and stops first in Sungai Pinang Kecil. This has been well accepted as a special feature associated with commuting to and from Pangkor.

There are no bridges connecting the island to the mainland because there exists a policy to control the number of vehicles on the island, partly because of there being no real necessity for them and partly because of space constraints. All these have contributed to the preservation of wildlife in the tropical rain forest where many rare species still exist, including hornbills and monitor lizards.
