Read it, then make it stick
Geography of Malaysia
Two regions across the South China Sea, with sixteen distinct states and federal territories.
Know the shape of the country
Start with all thirteen states and the separate Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan territories. Place twenty cities across both regions, then follow the Pahang, Rajang and Baram and distinguish the South China, Sulu and Celebes seas and Strait of Malacca. Zoom in for the small territories and coastal cities. Natural Earth boundaries and waters are generalised learning references; marine areas do not show territorial claims.
Heritage and landscapes
Essential · Architecture
Petronas Twin Towers
Completed in the 1990s, the twin towers became symbols of modern Kuala Lumpur. They are a modern landmark, not a World Heritage property.
Locate sixteen places across the peninsula, Sarawak and Sabah, including all six World Heritage properties. Melaka and George Town are two components of one inscription; forests, archaeology, cities and modern landmarks tell different stories. Essential and Worth a detour are learning priorities. Pins are reference locations, not confirmed entrances or permission to enter. Follow local rules at sacred places, archaeological sites, protected forests and marine parks. Select a pin to read about a place, then play the map and find them all.
