This
week, I’m gonna talk about Mountain Kinabalu. It located in a state of East
Malaysia which is called Sabah.
Mount
Kinabalu’s height is about 4096 meter, is the highest mountain in Malaysia. Many tourists like to climb Mount Kinabalu
when they travel in Kota Kinabalu (is the capital of Sabah). They climb the
Mount Kinabalu for seeing the gigantic Rafflesia and orang utan (man ape). The
name kina from Kinabalu means China, while balu means widow. About its legend, there was a merchant who came from China came to Sabah and he met a beautiful local populace. Then, they were
married and lived together. However, after that, the man decided went back to
his country to visit his family but after he back to China, he never came back
to Sabah. The girl stayed on the peak of Mount Kinabalu to wait for him coming
back. Until she death, the man still never came back. So, futurity name this mountain
as Mount Kinabalu. Another incident of Mount Kinabalu is the earthquake.
Logically, this is impossible that earthquake will happen in Malaysia but it
still happen once in 2015. Local populace said that the God which stays at this
mountain was angry. This is because of the behavior of some tourists. Few days
before the earthquake, there are 10 tourists who came from western country had
stripped and urinated at this scared place. So, the god was angry and the earthquake
happens.
This
week I gonna talk about the tallest building in Malaysia. That called Petronas
Twin Towers. It located at Kuala Lumpur (吉隆坡).
We can call it KLCC too.
It
is 452m height and 88 floors including 5 ground floors. However, Taipei 101 is
higher than KLCC. Inside KLCC, there is Suria Mall. There are so many tourists go
shopping at the mall.
Besides,
there is also Science Museum inside KLCC. It is very suitable for children visiting
there. They can know and learn many things from Science Museum. There also have
some interesting activities for the children having fun at Science Museum.
The
bridge between the towers is Skybridge. It is at the 41th floor and 42th floor
of the tower. We can see the view of Kuala Lumpur at there. I had been there
once. I joined a trip that was hold by my secondary school before. I recommend
you all can go to Skybridge at night, the scene will more beautiful.
Outside
of KLCC there are water fountains. It is very beautiful and attractive. At night, the fountain will full of colours. It is really gorgeous. KLCC
also features a wading pool for children having fun there. I think most of the
foreign tourists will come there if they travel in Malaysia.
Pulau
Pinang is a very small state in Malaysia but there are so many interest places I
may recommend you to travel at there.
The
most popular thing of Pulau Pinang is the street art in Georgetown. Georgetown is
the downtown of Pulau Pinang. There are so many beautiful wall paintings in the
city. In 2014, I had joined a trip to Pulau Pinang with my friends. In this
trip, I had taken photo with 40 wall paintings. We found the wall paintings by walking
around the Georgetown. That was a quite special experience for us. There are
about 60 wall paintings in the city. But now, there are some artists will draw
new wall painting at there. So, the number of wall paintings is still
increasing.
Besides,
there are a place where many traveler love to go is Escape. Escape is a theme
park for having fun and challenging some difficult games. The games are
designed for any range of age groups. There are so many level can be chosen in
a game.
The
last place I want to introduce is the upside-down museum. Although I never
visit there, but from the picture I show below, we can know that it really is an
interest place to go.
Let
talk about Melaka this week. Melaka is one of the states in Malaysia. Even though
my hometown is not in this state, but it is quite nice place for tourist to
come.
There
was an interest story about how Melaka this name came. Long time ago,
Parameswara who was a king rest under a tree beside a river. Suddenly, he saw a
mouse deer was chased by his dog. When the mouse deer was in danger, the mouse
deer kick the dog into the river to self-defense. This scene was seen by
Parameswara and he felt impressed. So, he decided to find an empire here and
named the tree which he rest under as Melaka Tree.
Now,
Melaka is a famous scenic spot. Many foreign tourists will come here too. Many
historical building is located at Melaka. For instance, there are A Famosa, Red
House and other.
A Famosa

Many
teenagers like to come to water theme park of Melaka.

Moreover,
the place I love the most is Jonker walk. Night market is at Jonker walk. There
are so many delicious foods at there. If you are interest to travel in Malaysia,
I recommend you all come to Jonker Walk.
