Visitors are drawn to Selangor for its rich cultural heritage and its wealth of outdoor activities and shopping opportunities. The state of Selangor is located on peninsular Malaysia’s west coast, covering an area of nearly 5,000 square miles. The state surrounds the country’s capital city, Kuala Lumpur (KL), and stretches from KL to Port Klang, the busiest port in Malaysia and the closest harbour to the federal capital district.

Often called the ‘Gateway to Malaysia’ due to its proximity to the country’s major airport, it is also the country’s industrial hub. Shah Alam, the state capital, is the site of the largest concentration of regional industry, located just 15 miles (25kms) from KL.
