The western coast islands, less popular than the those on the oriental coast, will delight the visitors who venture there. Easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur, they present a diversity of landscapes and auras as well as a rich cultural heritage.

Malaysia is a surprising country in every way. And the cluster of lakes linked to one another that go by the name of Tasik Chini will definitely live up to expectations! If this is not the case, then maybe the lake's monster will leave you speechless; rumour has it that it haunts the depths!

Malaysia is composed of two islands, located 700 km from each other: a peninsular island, which shares its northern border with Thailand, and an eastern island, which neighbours Indonesia. On one side, the energetic and structured capital of Kuala Lumpur boasts skyscrapers as far as the eye can see, at its head the impressive Petronas towers, a typical Chinese quarter and an upturn in economic activity. On the other hand, the country is overflowing with heavenly islands, tropical beaches, and villages full of fish, exotic flora and fauna. Malaysia is also a joyful melting pot of origins and religions. Muslims, Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus and Christians share the country and offer an enchanting diversity of temples and cultural sites. This also makes for an extremely rich culinary culture, which is unanimously praised by visitors.

During a <a href="/malaysia/">trip to Malaysia</a>, Port Dickson isn't a priority because the country is full of sublime sandy beaches. However, if you are at Kuala Lumpur and would like to escape a town full of sky scrapers then Port Dickson is pleasant place to go.  It's easy to spend a day or a weekend there. There are lots of hotels in this little seaside resort. The beaches are not as beautiful as you can find elsewhere but the climate is very pleasant.  Among the interesting places to see are the lighthouse, which gives you a good view of the beach, and also the Yacht Club, founded by expatriates in 1927. In fact, Port Dickson is full of beautiful boats because it's also an important oil facility.

Like most Malaysians villages, Port Dickson is not heaving with attractions, tradition or interesting things to see. It's a little railway town near the sea. However you can't go swimming there because the Malacca Strait's troubled waters, which are a direct result of Indonesia's harmful environmental policy, mean you don't have any inclination to paddle in them. I arrived there by chance, invited to stay with his family by a Malaysian friend. He took me to a little cafe that served the "best sate in the country" and it's true that they were very good. I walked along boring roads as far as the sea before leaving with the feeling that Port Dickson isn't somewhere you really have to go <a href="/malaysia/">during a trip to Malaysia.</a>

A port town with nothing to recommend it.
