Blue waters, green jungles and a cultural rainbow

Theme parks

Fake oddities, ghouls and igloos won Resorts World Genting Asia's Leading Themed Resort at October's 22nd Annual World Travel Awards in Hong Kong last autumn.

The complex contains Ripley's Believe It or Not, Snow-World, Vision City Video Games Park and Haunted Adventure.

It hosts so many parks and events it offers a behind-the-scenes tour to show how the shows goon.(They must!Apparently.)

First World Plaza also contains an indoor park featuring such rides as the Reindeer Cruiser, Rio Float and Busy Bugs within a shopping center that contains seven areas styled afterworld landmarks. Genting Sky Venture claims the continent's only free-fall skydiving simulator－arguably, the continent's safest way to jump from a plane－and a 15-meter climbing wall.

Johor claims Asia's first Legoland and the first Hello Kitty Town outside Japan.

Legoland's rides and Miniland, where 30 million bricks shape Asia's major landmarks, rank among its five attractions

The Hello Kitty park is replete with live performances by its protagonist and friends. Visitors can doll up with manicures, bake and make jewelry at Wishful Studio.

How intentionally adorable.
