<\/span>Thean Hou Temple<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAnother religious site, this colourful temple is a must-see for any visitor. It’s noticeably bigger than most temples, and is a lot grander, with lots of intricate carvings and symbolism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Cameron Highlands<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nKnown for their fresh produce and clean air, Cameron Highlands is probably one of the coolest (temperature-wise) places in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not exactly in KL, it\u2019s a couple of hours drive away – if you’re visiting in the rainy season, be careful, because it can be quite slippery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
