LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort brings together a LEGOLAND Park, Water Park and Hotel in one LEGO® themed location. It is a family holiday destination with more than 70 hands-on rides, slides, shows and attractions.

LEGOLAND Malaysia has seven themed areas of attractions for all ages such as The Beginning, LEGO® Technic, LEGO Kingdoms, Imagination, LEGO City, Land of Adventure and MINILAND. It’s an inspirational land where the children are the heroes. From LEGO experiment centres to rollercoasters, the park is a day-long voyage of discovery for all the family. The centrepiece is MINILAND, where Asian landmarks have been recreated using more than 30 million LEGO bricks. It’s an interactive world on a scale of 1:20, where people, trains and aeroplanes come to life at the touch of a button.
Taiping town literally means “town of peace” where lotus flowers and giant rain trees can be found around the Taiping Lake Gardens.

Embárcate en un viaje de 3 horas al norte de Sabah, conduciendo a través de vastas plantaciones de palma de aceite y coco. Párate en las aldeas Gombizou y Sumangkap y asiste al proceso de fabricación de un gong o visita una granja de apicultura.
A continuación, visita a la casa comunal –vivienda arcaica de uso comunitario- en la aldea Bavanggazo, hogar de los Rungus. Se trata de una de las muchas tribus indígenas de Sabah, cuyos integrantes son en su mayoría agricultores y artesanos talentosos que destacan en el tejido de cestería y la elaboración de abalorios.
El almuerzo será servido en la casa comunal Rungus antes de continuar el viaje. Sólo 1,5horas después llegarás a Simpang Mengayau, punto desde el cual el recorrido te llevará hasta la punta de Borneo.
La Punta de Borneo es un espectacular cabo situado en la zona más septentrional de la isla. En Borneo lo llaman Simpang Mengayau que significa “unión persistente”, ya que es aquí donde el mar del Sur de China confluye con los mares de Sulu del este. Disfruta de las impresionantes vistas y visita el faro Pulau Kalampunian, recordatorio de lo traicionera que puede llegar a ser la costa y testigo de naufragios pasados. A la izquierda, verás la playa Kalampunian, una espectacular pincelada de arena blanca y aguas transparentes a orillas del mar de China.
Ábrete paso por las diferentes opciones gastronómicas que te ofrece Kuala Lumpur. Pasa tres horas paseando por los callejones de la ciudad y probando los mejores platos de comida asiática que puedes encontrar.
En Malasia confluyen multitud de culturas y no hay mejor forma de ver ese crisol de costumbres que a través de la gastronomía. Empieza por la zona de Brickfields que bebe de la influencia india. Esto se refleja en la explosión de colores de su arquitectura, música y comida. Prueba los deliciosos platos de la India servidos en hojas de banana y luego descubre el punto dulce de bocados como los buñuelos de plátano frito, los deliciosos –y pegajosos- gulab jamun, o el cendol, el postre preferidos de los hindúes elaborado con hielo picado, azúcar de palma, leche de coco y habas rojas, entre otros ingredientes.
Desplázate cómodamente a través del sistema elevado de transporte público de Kuala Lumpur y pasa del color de la India hasta el bullicio de China. Prueba los deliciosos noodles –los fideos de Chinatown- mientras lo acompañas de un sorprendente zumo de lima. Déjate llevar por la intensidad de los sabores y de este concurrido barrio.
Acaba tu aventura tomando un café en una cafetería tradicional, donde verás la evolución de la metrópolis a través de una exposición de fotos antiguas. Es el momento ideal para sentarse y darse un respiro. Tu guía te ayudará a planificar el resto de la tarde y, lo más importante, te recomendará locales para disfrutar de una excelente cena.

Situated within the Bukit Merah Laketown Resort about 80km away from Penang Island, the Orang Utan Island is a research institution dedicated to the preservation and research of orangutans.

The island was developed to resemble the orangutan’s natural habitat as closely as possible, its vegetation similar to the rainforests in Sumatra and Borneo. For a more hands on approach, visitors are able to educate themselves by observing the orangutans firsthand at the conservation center, as they walk through a 100m steel caged tunnel that traverses the conservation site.
