It’s not everyday that Hollywood or Bollywood flies over to the beautiful shores of Southeast Asia to capture our Asian essence to complement in their films. That said, Malaysia has been a top location for modern and traditional background scenery. It has since caught the attention of several directors in both older and more recent films. Not only does Malaysia provide a vast array of beautiful backdrops and scenic vistas, shooting there also promotes the beautiful country and invites more tourists onto their shores.

The next time you sit in front of the big screens, do keep a look out for the background scenery. Chances are, you’re bound to find a familiar terrain amidst the busy actors. Take this as an opportunity to check out the beautiful hidden gems in Malaysia so you can plan your next trip across the culturally rich country too.
