10 Destinations in Malaysia Featured in Movies

If you are a movie buff – and if you are not – in need of inspiration for your Malaysian travel, check these destinations featured in movies. 

  1. Tronoh, Perak – featured in Ice Kacang Puppy Love (2010)
    Why go: to drink coffee in Choon Fatt Coffee Shop, the main setting of the film, and feel romance in the air.

    2. Sibu, Sarawak – featured in the recently-released Marvel film, Venom
    In fact, Sibu was only mentioned in the movie. Well, even better: visit before it becomes too crowded!

    3. Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, George Town, Penang – featured in Crazy Rich Asians and at least in 4 other movies 
    Tthe Blue Mansion is strikingly beautiful with its deep indigo walls. Is it the spirit of the old days Penang that lives here?

    4. Stadium Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur – featured in Ola Bola (2016)
    Strange it may seem, but it is not only the sportive arena and concert venue, it is also a national heritage monument.

    5. Ipor, Perak – featured in Ang Lee’s Lust, Caution (2007) and many othersHead to Menglembu, a small town within the Ipoh township, to see why an Oscar-wining filmmaker chose this location for his movie.

    6. Aur Island, Mersing, Johor – featured in The Journey (2014)
    Why go: another reason to spend some beautiful sea time in Johor Marine Park!

    7. Taman Yulek, Cheras, KL – featured in The Kid From The Big Apple (2015)Typical, characteristic, quintessentially old KL blocks of flats – now you know what KL used to be before all those menaras have been built.

    8. Broga Hill, Selangor – featured in Ola Bola
    Why go: hiking! It is simply scenic, so why not check it out?

    9. Chew Jetty, Penang – featured in Ice Kacang Puppy Love and The Journey
    The most famous of all the clan jetties, Chew Jetty is a part of Penang heritage trail.

    10. Baling, Kedah – featured in The Journey (again!)
