Yet amid the big-city turmoil are oases of calm: lush tropical parks, magnificent cathedrals, dramatic Spanish forts. Choose from the cultural riches of the Metropolitan Museum and the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Intramuros, Manila's famous walled city, was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century. A "must see" is the Malacanang Palace with its opulent displays of Ferdinand and Imelda's decadent indulgences.
Located on the northwest Malaysian coast of Borneo, Kota Kinabalu The Sabah Museum has an excellent exhibit of archaeological finds from the area.also serves as the gateway to the beach resort town of Kampung Tanjong Aru.
Muara is the main port of Brunei and here you'll find one of Brunei's five beaches. Muara also serves as the gateway to the century-old Kampong Ayer or "Water Village", that is really a series of small communities linked by 29,140 meters of foot-bridges.
