Malaysia is a hot Southeast Asian country consisting of Sarawak and Sabah in the south of the Malay Peninsula and Sarawak in northern Borneo. The South China Sea is separated from the two parts.
Into Malaysia
Malaysia is close to the Straits of Malacca, the South China Sea, the Sulu Sea and the Sulawesi Sea, and its territory is divided into two parts, the South of the Malay Peninsula (West Malaysia) and the North of Kalimantan (East Malaysia). The capital is Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia is neighbors with Thailand, Brunei and Indonesia, covering an area of 330,000 square kilometers. Malays and other indigenous peoples make up the majority of the population.
Located near the equator, Malaysia has a tropical rainforest climate and a tropical monsoon climate, with high temperatures and rain all year round, and there are no obvious four seasons. Malaysia is hot because most of the country is in the equatorial zone.
Malaysia is a green country, with forests covering more than half of the country. Outside the city, you can see the greenery stretching to the sky.
The terrain is mainly plain, with flat ground and less undulating. The terrain of the peninsula is high in the north and low in the south, with sandy coastal areas mostly plains, and inland areas mostly forested hills and mountains. There are many peaks in Malaysia, the highest of which is located in East Malaysia called Mount Kinabalu at 4101 meters above sea level.
The kingdom of rubber and tin
Malaysia's agricultural, mining and processing industries are strong. Common crops are oil palm, rubber trees, cocoa trees, coconut trees, pepper, rice, etc., although farmers prefer to grow rubber trees. Because Malaysia has high temperatures and rains throughout the year, the soil is fertile, which is very suitable for the growth of rubber trees, so the annual production of rubber in Malaysia is very high.
Malaysia is also the kingdom of tin, and for a long time, the production of tin ranked first in the world. In recent years, production has been decreasing year by year due to over-exploitation.
National flower and national bird
Malaysia's national flower is hibiscus, also known as Fuso, because most of the flowers of this plant are red, so people also call it big safflower. The hometown of the big red flower is China.
Malaysia's national bird is the hornbill. Hornbills like to climb trees, look a bit like toucans, have a large and long mouth, thick eyelashes on their big eyes, and a helmet-like protrusion on their head, just like the horns of a rhinoceros, hence the name.

Unique floating foot
The traditional housing of Malaysians is a type of house called floating foot. There are similarities between floating stilt buildings and stilt buildings in Lingnan, China. If you see the floating foothold, you will be amazed by the great wisdom of Malaysians. A floating stilt building is a single-storey building with a leafy roof and a wooden wall and floor. The floor is often very high off the ground, which can prevent moisture and snakes and rats. There is a ladder in front of such houses, and visitors have to take off their shoes and climb the stairs.
