1. Cultural Diversity
Selangor is a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, as it brings together people of all states due to its close proximity to the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Get to know the ethnic group native to West Malaysia, the Mah Meri tribe, by visiting the Mah Meri Cultural Village in Carey Island, located in the district of Hulu Langat.

With diverse cultures come diverse delicacies. Selangor is one of the best food-hunting states, with every dish being full of flavours and spices. Try the Nasi Lemak, Satay, Dim Sum or Nasi Ambeng.
