Here, time seems to move at an unhurried pace and the busy city life makes way for a laidback lifestyle. Within this region resides Taman Negara, a 130-million-year-old rainforest. Sun-seekers can delight at the internationally-famed islands of Tioman, Perhentian, Redang and Lang Tengah. Premier highland resorts, such as Genting Highlands and Cameron Highlands are also among the region’s remarkable assets.
