is is a very impressive mosque which i grew up seeing in photographs but not having an opportunity to see it until recently.

Cape Rachado

LOCATION

Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson, Malaysia.

Cape Rachado is a nice day/half-day trip where you get to mix a bit of hiking, beaches and views. You can reach the entrance by car or public transport then you will have to take a small hike up to the lighthouse.Tanjung Tuan is a famous spot for birders but not in January so it was a nice and quiet hike up to the Light House.lovely view but sad that the light house itself was off limits. It would be a real treat to see the coast from up there.

Istana Negara LOCATION

Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim | Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur 50490, Malaysia.

The palace is huge and looks very grand and expensive. Not allowed to go inside. Good to see the palatial place.The Old Kings palace which is now a museum Good place for clicking photos, except that one is not allowed to click pictures in the inner areas of the old palace; wonder why ?? Curio shop has nice stuff but expensive.

Sarawak Cultural Village LOCATION

Jalan Pantai Damai, Kuching 93050, Malaysia

It is fantastic, the dance was so professional, each house is very different. It would be good to have a Malaysian price for it not just Sarawakian... need to be affordable for a family to learn about Malaysia culture.

George Town LOCATION

Malaysia.

Interesting mix of old and restored houses. Some of their famous street art has faded quite a bit but I guess it adds to the charm. George Town exceeded our expectations. There is a great atmosphere and we liked the eclectic mix of architectural styles. Its compact enough to easily cover on foot and there are lots of places to rest and take a drink. Plenty of small shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. The whole place has a quirky vibe to it that sits well with the historical and cultural mix. 

Top 5 Best Island To Visit In MALAYSIA

Manukan Island LOCATION

Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

Manukan island is ideal for snorkelling! You can take a boat at tour at the pier of KK. There are plenty of options; Just visiting Manukan or combinations with other islands

If you're bored in Kota Kinabalu, then do a day trip to Manukan Island. It is the best of all the other islands. Most touristy and lots of activities. Need not follow any tour agency. Just take Uber or Grab to Jesselton Point and book a ferry transfer to the Islands. Cost of 1 island is RM23, and 2 islands Hop is RM33. You also have to pay RM7 tax and RM10 conservation fee. Much cheaper than any tours！Food and drinks are expensive on the island as expected. For example, a coconut in KK market cost RM3 each, in Restaurents RM5 but in Manukan it is RM15! Buffet lunch cost RM75.

There are restaurants on the island. There is also shower facilities. 

Dayang Bunting Island LOCATION

Dayang Bunting Island, Langkawi, Malaysia

A wonderful place to go with friends and family. The lake is a gold mine for beautiful photoshoots. If you are planning to go for a swim, make sure you rent a life jacket (a couple of MYR is nothing compared to your life).

You can search for island hopping packages for RM30/person (local) or RM35/person (foreigner) which includes Dayang Bunting Island, Beras Basah Island and Singa Besar Island (Eagle feeding). There are multiple agents at Cenang Beach that offers the packages. They will offer pick up and drop off services from your hotels.

Mamutik Island LOCATION

Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

Mamutik island is lovely. The sand is white and the water clear. But the island is too crowded- hundreds of Chinese tourists..It is pleasent place to enjoy the beaches and marine life by snorkeling and contact with sea fishes. Unfortunately, the island is too small and the number of visitors (especially noisy Chenese) is too large to enjoy they properly.

Sapi Island LOCATION

Kota Kinabalu 88000, Malaysia

Probably the best of the easily reached and public islands off Tanjung Aru in terms of snorkelling - having said that, don't expect the Red Sea as the coral is limited and badly damaged nowadays. Still, things to see and good for an afternoon or so. Small beach, busy at weekends. Good cafe. Zip wire between Sapi and Gaya islands is different. Worth the trip but manage your expectations if snorkelling.

Bohey Dulang Island LOCATION

Semporna, Malaysia

Great place. You can snorkle or dive from the peer. The water is blue and green and so clear. Do the hour walk bring water itvis really steep and hot. Great view when you get to the sumit.600m trekking up to stunning views. Not advisable for people with leg problem & old people. Slippery muds & steep hills. Watch out your every steps up.

Kilim Karst Geoforest Park LOCATION

Kuah, Langkawi, Malaysia

Awesome place to see but do yourself a favour and choose a reputable tour company like JungleWalla. Too many options for tours and too many tourists feeding the local wildlife foreign foods, just to get better photos! The mangroves were cool to see and you should do it, but look into eco friendly tours please!!!

Turtle Sanctuary Beach LOCATION

Pulau Perhentian Besar, Pulau Perhentian Besar, Malaysia

Amazing beach. Went by water taxi. No facilities that we could see so if you're going with little kids make sure they go to the toliet beforehand!! Saw a shark in the very shallow part of the beach just swimming along. Amazing.

Sandakan Memorial Park LOCATION

Mile 8 Jalan Labuk | Taman Rimba, Sandakan 90702, Malaysia

Palawan Beach LOCATION

Sentosa Island, Sentosa Island, Singapore

It is so perfect that it is almost to perfect. The sea water is crystal clear and the sand is spotless. For me it was actually over the top as it was noticeably fake. If you visit Singapore it is worth checking out.

Top 5 Most Beautiful Monuments & Statues in Paris

Arc de Triomphe LOCATION

Place Charles de Gaulle, 75008 Paris, France

The arch is centered in a roundabout so if you're able to navigate across the road to it you're one of the brave (those cars stop for no one). The arch is beautiful and much bigger in person than imagined. The artwork and design that went into this monument is true craftsmanship.

Statue of Liberty LOCATION

Pont de Grenelle | Ile des Cygnes, 75015 Paris, France

It's awesome to see the statue of liberty in France. We saw it from our cruise boat on the river. It's what we have in common with the French.If you are an American, or have ever been taken in by the grandeur, beauty and meaning of the Statue of Liberty, you owe it to yourself to see her smaller doppelganger. A 1/4 sized version given to France by the US, this was one of the working models in the construction of the one in New York. The park is a pleasant place to walk, the statue is at the end and offers some good views down the Seine, and it is FREE. If you don't want to stand in the lines for the Tour Eiffel (or if you just want to get out of the crowds) walk the few blocks along the Seine and check her out.

Obelisk of Luxor LOCATION

Place de la Concorde, 75008 Paris, France, 75008 Paris, France

The place de la Concorde is a great square in the middle of Paris where the statue of the King once stood before being replaced by the Guillotine. Now the Obelisk of Luxor is the centerpiece and a great one it is. Certainly the history it has is great but the gold pyramid top that makes it perfect for pictures.

Fontaine Saint-Michel LOCATION

44 boulevard Saint Michel, 75270 Paris, France

This is Paris's most famous fountain! There's not another one like it! It features Saint Michael (Saint Michel in French) killing the Devil at the centre and dragon-like creatures on the edges. It's quite beautiful tbh , The fountain itself its great, but the monument looks like it is forgotten by the city! !

Liberty Flame LOCATION

Pont de l'Alma | 8th Arrondissement, Paris, France

This was a famous monument before but nowadays, noone give a special attention. It is located just next to pont d'alma and is for Memorial of Princess Diana.

This is the Princesse Diana memorial. This unique place along the seine river is worth the visit (combine it with your walk to the eiffel tower or a stroll along seine river.

Top 5 Scotland Best Monuments & statues

National Wallace Monument LOCATION

Hillfoots Road | Abbey Craig, Stirling FK9 5LF, Scotland

What an astonishing view from the top of Wallace monument down to Stirling city and river Forth. We learn a lot of Scotland's history and why William Wallace is the national hero. It's hard to go all the way to the top but it's worth it.A big of a hike up to this monumnet but well worth it. There is 246 steps to climb to get to the top but there is levels which have rooms that have historic things in, unfortunately when we got to the top it was very cloudy :( But the different things in the levels are worth the climb. 

Commando Monument LOCATION

Spean Bridge, Scotland

Simple and evocative memorial to the commando's and their training with a small Garden of Remembrance nearby. There is also a "marker cairn" showing the directions of the main hill and mountain ranges. On a clear day, Ben Nevis is visible in the distance.The monument, just off the A82 north of Fort William, has a commanding view of the Nevis range and is set in the midst of the Commandos training ground. It is a very impressive memorial to those who served their country in this way.

National Monument LOCATION

Carlton Hill, Edinburgh, Scotland

Great place to walk in central part of Edinburgh if you have time to spare.
You can get a lovely view over Edinburgh nice place to take friend that are visiting Scotland.

William Wallace Statue  LOCATION

Rosemount Viaduct, Aberdeen, Scotland.

Magnificent is the only word to describe this statue standing on its mountain of red granite it is a sight to behold. My favourite of all Aberdeen's many statues Wallace points towards a row of splendid building including the Theatre, St Mark's Church and the Library. Behind sits Prince Albert and to the left Union Terrace Gardens leading onto Union Street.

Burns Monument and Gardens LOCATION

Murdoch's Lone Alloway, Ayr KA7 4PQ, Scotland

Beautifully kept gardens ,really nice to walk round.does not have a coffee shop or rest rooms they are just round the corner on rabbie burns centre or the brig o doon hotel is near .

Top 5 Scotland Historical Places To Visited

Skara Brae LOCATION

Skara Brae B9056, Stromness KW16 3LR, Scotland

This has been open to the public for a long time and is worth a visit if it's quiet. The reconstruction is good, as is the cafe. The beach is beautiful too. The Ness of Brodgar will probably eventually overtake this site in importance and number of visitors but in the meantime, Skara Brae is where to go to see a fairly intact stone age village all year 

St Andrews Links LOCATION

Pilmour House, St Andrews KY16 9SF, Scotland

Only a golfer can fully appreciate the nostalgia and history of St Andrews golf. 6 Courses all gems and all links style off the ocean. Cannot get on the old course with the lottery; just walk over to the New Couse which is a little longer and maybe a tad more difficult. Or you can go to the Old Course house and wait around. August is the most difficult month due to Tournaments and best weather. The Castle course has the best ocean and town views but is pricey. 

The Scottish Crannog Centre LOCATION

South Tay Road | Loch Tay, Nr Aberfeldy, Kenmore PH15 2HY, Scotland

The Scottish Crannog Centre is an authentically recreated Crannog on Loch Tay. Visitors have a chance to browse the exhibition setting the Crannogs in context before being taken out to the Crannog by a guide. Ours was very comprehensive and explained the concept and construction of the Crannog in a wonderfully atmospheric setting. Once back on dry land we were shown skills such as lathe turning and fire making. The centre includes a cafe and a shop. A great visit boosted by the enthusiasm of the guides.

Inchcolm Abbey and Island LOCATION

| Hawes Pier, South Queensferry, Edinburgh EH30 9TB, Scotland

Wonderful place for scenic photos. Plenty of places to enjoy a picnic and take in the views. Lovely walk round the island that wasn't too rugged. Abbey was great to explore . Lovely way to spend a couple of hours , An ideal place for a trip down the River Forth and the Abbey ruins are very interesting as part of the religous history of Scotland. The old WWI/II buildings tell the more recent history. Beware the wildlife, the nesting birds can be quite aggresive at times.

Tantallon Castle LOCATION

North Berwick EH39 5PN, Scotland

Lovely castle ruin near the coast. Wish there would be more information on its history. Plenty of benches to sit or having a picnic , Tantallon Castle is well worth a visit,just make sure you have the energy! Lots of walking, climbing up to the ramparts but well worth it for the panoramic views.Lots of bird life so take your binoculars, especially over on Bass island.

Top 5 Best Gardens To Visit Scotland.

Botanic Gardens and Kibble Palace LOCATION

730 Great Western Road, Glasgow G12 0UE, Scotland

The sculptures midst the palms, the squirrels on a bench, the sudden rains that leave you running for cover are all worthwhile fringe benefits of visiting an outstanding collection of botanical specimens from all climatic zones.

Princes Street Gardens LOCATION

Princes Street, Edinburgh EH2 4BA, Scotland

A lovely walk on a sunny day, loads of nice things to look at. There are toilets and a cafe so no need to go without. There is also an area as a memorial for those who have fought for our country.

Easily accessible from Princess Street shops via ramps or steps take time out to enjoy the gardens and castle views.

Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh LOCATION

20 Inverleith Row, Edinburgh EH3 5LR, Scotland

The Royal Botanic Garden was part of our Hop-On Hop-Off pass. I don't know that I would have went there had it not been. I'm glad it was. It was a very beautiful place with lush, well kept grounds. Lots to walk through and see. It is the home of New Reekie the stinky plant. It is something you have to see if you get a chance. It is huge! The smell wasn't on when I was there but I think it was still in the beginning stages. This place had some of the most interesting plants and flowers that I have ever seen. 

Inverewe Garden LOCATION

Poolewe IV22 2LG, Scotland

This garden is lovely. Because of it's microclimate they can grow many plants you would not expect so far north. Lovely and well tended. The formal garden is quite small but the wider, wilder grounds are much larger, allowing for a decent walk and fabulous views. Not all the grounds are accessible but the garden's map does identify suitable paths. The house is well worth a visit too.

Duthie Park Winter Gardens LOCATION

Duthie Park Polmuir Road, Aberdeen AB11 7TH, Scotland.

The Duthie Park Winter Gardens are fascinating. There are a number of sections laid out so that you can walk through a humid tropical area to an arid desert area with lots of cacti, then a temperate zone. There is also a Japanese garden and a pool with koi carp in it. You can get married in there too which must be a lovely setting.
