Multiculturalism has made Malaysia home to hundreds of colourful festivals including three days of joyful celebrations at the end of Ramadan, Chinese New Year with dances and parades, Malaysian Grand Prix and the Rainforest World Music Festival. Geographically, Malaysia is as diverse as its culture. Cool hideaways are found in the highlands that roll down to warm sandy beaches. Petronas skyscrapers look down upon wooden houses built on stilts, and five-star hotels sit several metres away from ancient reefs.
