Driving through the roads of the city from the Kuala Lumpur Airport, one encounters the remarkably built Kuching Sarawak State Mosque and the ultra-modern An'nur Jamek Mosque in Kuala Lumpur which impress visitors with their inspiring architecture. Kuala Gula Bird sanctuary, Penang Bird Park and the Taman Negara National Park are places that you should visit if you want to explore Malaysia's wildlife heritage in greater detail.
