Welcome to Malaysia
欢迎来到马来西亚
Malaysia is an extremely diverse and exotic country. Occupying the end of the Thai peninsula as a part of Indonesian Kalimantan, it boasts mountainous hinterland, dense virgin rainforests, stunning coastlines and paradisical, untouched tropical islands. In terms of the natural environment, Malaysia is among the best.
Another face of the country is its roaring economy. The Malaysia of today is a prosperous nation and this newly gained wealth is evident in the high-tech, trendy capital city Kuala Lumpur. For the traveller, this is one of the most pleasurable and hassle-free of the Asian countries around which to base a trip.
Malay is the official language of Malaysia, although English and Chinese are also widely spoken. Malaysia was under British administration for a long time and therefore, most foods are also labelled in English.
马来西亚是一个极其多样化和异国风情的国家。它占据泰国半岛的尽头，是印度尼西亚加里曼丹的一部分，拥有多山的腹地、茂密的处女雨林、迷人的海岸线和副热带岛屿。就自然环境而言，马来西亚是其中最好的。
这个国家的另一面是它轰轰烈烈的经济。今天的马来西亚是一个繁荣的国家，这种新获得的财富在高科技、时尚的首都吉隆坡显而易见。对于旅行者来说，这是亚洲国家中最愉快、最无忧无虑的旅行基地之一。
马来语是马来西亚的官方语言，但英语和汉语也被广泛使用。马来西亚长期由英国管理，因此，大多数食品也用英文标注。
Climate in Malaysia
马来西亚气候
When deciding the best time to visit Malaysia, weather certainly plays a role. Malaysia is situated in the equatorial zone and for this reason, experiences a perennially tropical climate. Temperatures average 30°C all year round and humidity levels usually hover around the 90% mark.
Hot and humid day times are broken up by short and very intense bursts of torrential rain on a daily basis. At higher altitudes, however, the intense Malaysian tropical climate is somewhat modified. Average temperatures drop considerably in the highland areas and humidity levels become much more bearable.
Malaysia is affected yearly by two rainy seasons, commonly referred to as “the monsoons”. The effects of the monsoons vary in severity across the country: some areas become totally submerged by flooding, whereas mountainous areas are affected much less.
The north-east monsoon generally occurs between the months of October and March, and from May to September, the south-west monsoon sweeps the country. The heaviest rainfalls are experienced in spring and autumn as the monsoon changes direction.
The rains should never deter a visit to the West coast of Malaysia or indeed, the highland hill stations. Weather patterns remain more or less uniform despite the monsoon season. In the morning the sky is usually clear and sunny with rain clouds bringing short showers in the afternoon.
It is rare to have a day without sun, or indeed without showers. It is, however, advisable to avoid the east coast destinations during the rainy season months of November and January if you really want to take advantage of the beaches.
When packing, the golden rule is variation. Pack light summer clothes because heat and humidity are guaranteed, carry a good raincoat or umbrella and an extra warm sweater if you plan on trekking into the hills.
在决定访问马来西亚的最佳时间时，天气当然会起到一定的作用。马来西亚位于赤道地区，因此，经历了常年热带气候。全年平均气温为30°C，湿度通常徘徊在90%左右。
炎热潮湿的白天被每天短而强烈的暴雨冲破。然而，在高海拔地区，强烈的马来西亚热带气候有所改变。高原地区平均气温大幅下降，湿度水平更加可承受。
马来西亚每年受到两个雨季的影响，通常被称为”季风”。全国季风的影响程度各不相同：一些地区完全被洪水淹没，而山区受到的影响要小得多。
东北部季风一般发生在10月至3月之间，5月至9月，西南季风席卷全国。随着季风改变方向，春季和秋季的降雨量最大。
降雨绝不应阻止访问马来西亚西海岸，甚至高地山站。尽管季风季节，天气模式仍然或多或少地保持一致。早晨天空通常晴朗晴朗，下午有雨云带来短时阵雨。
很少有一天没有阳光，甚至没有淋浴。然而，如果您真的想利用海滩，最好在 11 月和 1 月的雨季期间避开东海岸的目的地。
包装时，黄金法则是变化。包装轻的夏季衣服，因为热量和湿度是保证，携带一个很好的雨衣或雨伞和额外的温暖毛衣，如果你打算徒步到山上。
