Meaning “The Great Island“, Pulau Besar is both beautiful and mysterious. This island is a home to several historic sites — and it is  well used by Japanese occupiers during World War-II. Many people consider the island sacred and make pilgrimages to its tombs and shrines, but most visitors come for its white sand beaches, clear blue water and jungle treks.

It is famous for golf course, yacht club and resort hotels, but it has been strangely abandoned now.

Pulau Besar looks like a pregnant lady lying on her back.At the highest point on the island ther exists a large boulder that is split down in  the middle. It is named “Batu Belah” and is a favourite destination for local pilgrims.There also exists a cave which is said to be the place of meditation for another Wali named Yusof. Near this cave, it is claimed one can see the footprint of the Wali on a boulder.The island is considered a holy place by local believers.Visitors can board motorboats at Pernu, Umbai for the short trip to the island. 4 300x225 Pulau Besar, top and premier resorted location in malaysia.

This beach however seems to have fallen out of favour with tourists, possibly due to the rise of the Port Dickson resort further north, and the small range of accommodation is looking worse for wear.you’ll definitely have the gorgeous beach all to yourself. There remains one place to stay, the Chandek Kura Hotel, and a small restaurant and food stall nearby will keep you in joy.

Kangar, most charming place of Malaysia

by rakhi on April 21, 2009

The capital of the strictly Muslim state of Perlis.It is present in the northern peninsular Malaysia.

major landmarks are:

  • EPF Tower, one of the highest point in Kangar
  • kubu hill recreational park.
  • lay World Weaponry Museum
  • Medan Mountain
  • Perlis Craft Cultural Complex
  • Perlis State Mosque
  • State Museum and Heritage Hall
  • Syed Alwi State Mosque, the former state mosque built in 19105 Kangar, most charming place of  MalaysiaThe state makes an interesting little stop as you either head into or out of Malaysia, though most travelers tend to only see it as a transit point either to Pulau Langkawi or Thailand. It’s easy to get around and is also cheaper than many other parts of Malaysia.Spectacular limestone outcroppings similar to those in Thailand rise from the flat rice paddies that stretch across much of Perlis’ landscape. These outcroppings are part of the longest continuous limestone range in Southeast Asia, the Nakawan, which extends along the national border like a great wall. Due to the majority of people here being Muslim and alcohol practically nonexistent. The only really busy-by-night area is near the express bus station, where shops and a handful of food stalls stay open until late.The small town square together with Pasar Raya shopping complex is the most happening area, with banks, a post office, small roadside restaurants and a crowded KFC that’s open 24/7.

Sukhothai Historic Park

historical park

It is the fascinating park restored by UNESCO and fine arts department a few years ago. The park has five sections –they are central, north, south, east and west. Mostly people use only the central and northern zones, and unless you’re an art historian or have a very specific interest in some of the other sites, these two are probably sufficient.

The Ramkhamhaeng National Museum

Opened in 1964, this museum contains a collection of articraftss from the sites of Sukhothai, and is a good place to begin your tour. It is located to your left down the road before passing the park office.

Wat Mahathat

Wat Mahathat

It is the most impressive which should not be missed in our life. It is walled in and surrounded by moat. The tall pillars which are used in building this wat were used once to support a wooden ceiling. It is the best place for pilgrims and monks to stay. Many statues of Buddha are still in remarkable condition .In the early morning entire surroundings and the place will be very photogenic

Cat Ba Island, charming island in vietnam.

by rakhi on March 27, 2009

This island is famous for its beaches and parks.

Cat Ba Beachs

The first beach is called Cat Co Island — you can get it by following the harbor road west until it ends, and then taking the steps and going over the headland. On the other side is the Sunrise Resort, but the beach in front of it is open to the public. There are many more facilities here, like restaurant, and a place where you can rent various beach equipment — hammocks, float things, kayaks and even swim suits, at fairly reasonable prices. All the beaches feature murky green water and dull brown sand, so don’t expect to be blown over, but on a hot day in summer — what the heck, it’s a beach.

Cat Ba National Park

It is noted for its mangroves, subtropical evergreen forests, freshwater lakes, and even some coral reefs down along the coast. While rich in flora, hikers often report seeing little in the way of fauna, though there are reportedly some animals running about — we only saw goats.

parkPrepare well for any of these treks, as they are not easy — really and truly, spring for a guide if you can. Those that try to do it on their own often end up turning back. Any hotel in town that arranges tours can help you sort out which trek to take and hook you up with a guide.
