While Kuala Lumpur has always been the go-to spot for tourists in Malaysia, Sepang located towards the south of Selangor is equally worth a visit with its unique charm and adventures. If you decide to stay in Sepang and explore it as well as nearby areas, here are some of the top places to visit.
Located in the centre of Putrajaya, Malaysia’s administrative capital, Putrajaya Lake isn’t too far from Sepang and is definitely worth visiting. Covering an area of over 650 hectares, the lake is an important aesthetic addition to the city’s urban atmosphere and architecture, despite it being an artificial lake. Given that it provides an element of tranquillity and calm in the city, many visitors both local and foreign enjoy picnics and even boat rides on the water, using the opportunity to soak in the lake’s beauty and serenity amidst the rush of the city.
One of the best things to do in Sepang is explore a slice of the town’s history and visit Cape Rachado. This historical spot located on the southwest tip of Malaysia’s peninsula features a towering lighthouse, one of the oldest in the country. Travellers who visit the cape can also head to other nearby attractions including a nature reserve which is ideal for those looking to spend time amidst the great outdoors.
Located close to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, this famous outlet is the place to go for a stellar shopping experience. If you are staying at an accommodation provider like Avani Sepang Goldcoast Resort, only about a 40-minute drive away, the Mitsui Outlet Park is your best chance to enjoy shopping with super savings; you will find a vast selection of notable brands both local and international for plenty of retail therapy. The outlet features various sections for lifestyle, fashion and more for those looking to do a little last-minute shopping before their flights.
This gallery in Port Dickinson offers visitors in Sepang a unique, immersive experience. It presents an interesting collection of 3D paintings that use optical illusions, thereby allowing audiences to be fully immersed in the artwork. Viewers are also encouraged to engage with the paintings on display and even take their own artistic photos with the exhibits. The Alive 3D Art Gallery is a welcome attraction, particularly for young families looking to show their kids an unforgettable display brought about by the fusion of art and technology.
The Jungle Boardwalk at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport is an eco-inspired attraction that welcomes visitors to a new environment that beats the typical mundane atmosphere of airport terminals. Passengers arriving in transit can now enjoy the tranquillity that comes with the boardwalk’s green environment, filled with lush greenery, vegetation and various water-based features. The sounds of nature coupled with the refreshing sight of greenery make for a rejuvenating experience before or after your flight. It's also an ideal attraction to enjoy with kids as the whole family enjoys some serenity amidst soothing natural greenery.
