Borneo today is a complex and richly diverse country that spreads across a network of islands, which encompasses an eclectic collage of ethnic groups, cultures and religions. The economic and spiritual heart is the impressive capital of Kuala Lumpur on Peninsular Borneo, while other mainland cities worth visiting include the haunting colonial beauty of Georgetown on the island of Penang and the ramshackle sprawl of Malacca in southern Borneo. On the western and eastern coasts of Peninsular Borneo a myriad of islands, many blessed with stunning beaches, recline in the tropical sun and to the east the East Borneon states of Sabah and Sarawak boast their own charms, including superb beaches and unspoilt wilderness.
