This is the heart and soul of the city; the F1 circuit plays host every year to the Malaysia Grand Prix and is the country's biggest tourist lure. Sepang is not limited to just the annual Grand Prix action; the race track sees Motor Indy races and V8 races throughout the year and is always a hub for some form of motoring action. Best of all tickets to enter one of the world's most cutting edge motor racing tracks are quite moderately priced while the race track itself is easily reached from well-located hotels in Sepang.

Putrajaya is Malaysia's business hub home to palaces and huge government office complexes. If you do travel to the area for a taste of modern marvels, make sure to hang around until after sunset for it is at night that Putrajaya is illuminated in a myriad of colourful lights and this spectacle is well known as a major tourist attraction.
The mines of this area were collectively identified at one time as the world's deepest 'open-cut' mine.
