Natural Environment Become Tourist Attraction

In Malaysia, we can find many tourist attraction such as at Penang we have mirror george town, little Indian and many types of Indian. Unless this types of places, Malaysia alaso have many tourist attraction that can let us be in touch with the environment. 

   One of the places I would like to recommend is the Penang Hill which located in Air Itam, George Town. Penang Hill also can known as Flagstaff Hill. At the Penang Hill, we can see many flora and fauna. The most common forest type found on Penang Hill is the hill dipterocarp forest. The Tree Fern which is normally associated with higher elevations is also found growing here. Penang Hill is scientifically important as a type site of many Malaysian plant species. In the past, botanists came here to collect plants for herbaria around the world.

At the Penang Hill wild boars, small and medium-sized mammals such as the squirrels, monkeys and tree shrews can be sighted. A number of species found in these hills are nocturnal. These include the civets, flying lemurs, flying civets and bats. In the evenings, the characteristic calls of the cicadas and crickets are often heard. If one is discerning enough, the stick insect and leaf mantis may be found well-camouflaged among the vegetation. Penang Hills have a rich bird fauna. Over 100 species or about 80% of the birds found on Penang Island have been recorded here. They range from the common garden species to rare deep forest inhabitants.

     The next tourist attraction which is also very beautiful is Pulau Langkawi. is an archipelago of 104 islands in the Andaman Sago, which is located at Kedah. Pulau Langkawi is famous with the beautiful sea and beach which the couple will always come. There are two main island areas: the Southern Islands, with a heavier tourist population and the islands to the north east which are more secluded with little tourist traffic. 

    Some of the most popular beaches are Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah, Burau Bay, Pantai Kok, and Datai Bay. Pantai Cenang is a picturesque beach with long stretches of fine white sand. It has numerous restaurants and bars for evening entertainment, several hosting live music and for watching the sun set. The beach is lined with tall coconut and casuarina trees. Pantai Tengah is separated from Cenang by a small cape. It too faces the setting sun and is populated more by hotels than bars, making it less busy in the evening. Burau Bay, fringed by rocky outcrops, is the favourite place of migratory birds in Langkawi. Pantai Kok is a quiet beach against a backdrop of limestone hills. Datai Bay has a combination of forests and sea, its white sandy beach is backed by lush forest.
