D-Paradise Park and Resort

D-Paradise

by chiabh

The full name of the resort is D-Paradise Tropical Fruit World and Aboriginal Native Village. It claimed to have the world's largest collections of tropical, landscaped garden full of fun, adventure and discovery. You can visit the fruits orchard, smell them, and fall into a fruity dream. One of the many "must see" attractions is the unique, authentic live aboriginal village. Here you can live amongst the natives and discover how they hunt by blow-pipe, cook their food, make handicrafts, find medicinal herbs in the jungle and join in their culture dances.

As a day trip will not do justice to the resort, there are 4 types of accommodation available ie D-Paradise The Island Manager, D'CEO Village, Camp David Island and also camping grounds for the rough and tough...

All comprehensive details can be obtained form its website...

D-Paradise is about an hour drive from Melaka and an hour and a half from Kuala Lumpur using the NS Highways...

Kuala Lumpur

by keeweechic

Kuala Lumpur, or "KL" as it is commonly known, is the capital and the largest city of Malaysia and is found midway along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The city's past is still very much present in the British colonial style buildings still within the city. The new KL is seen in the modern office towers and the ever present construction that continues to expand and update. The country has also developed an extensive and modern transportation network of which K.L. sits at the centre. To the west is the Klang Valley, where tin mines are linked to the history and development of modern Malaysia.

A lot of Malaysia's Civil War was acted out in this area. Heading east from KL, are hills and forests which are the start of the flourishing Malaysian heartland and the Batu Caves.
