In the west of Peninsula Malaysia lies the quaint state of Negeri Sembilan. The name Negeri Sembilan directly translates as ‘Nine States’ because this state of 6,645 square kilometers once consisted of nine districts. Negeri Sembilan practices the age-old and distinctive Minangkabau culture and tradition that is protected through the Adat Perpatih, a matrilineal social system. The Minangkabau culture also possesses a unique style of architecture that is synonymous to them. It is where you find the roofs of traditional Malay houses or settlements distinctively curve to point upwards at all ends.
Negeri Sembilan is a rapidly growing urban centre but stays true to its roots and character as it still has several historical and cultural landmarks located in the capital of Seremban.
Some notable attractions in this state are Port Dickson, a popular get-away with one of the longest beaches in Malaysia, The Royal Museum of Seri Menanti, The Rembau Museum, State Museum Complex, Lukut Museum, Rembau Crystal, Ulu Bendul Recreational Forest, Jelita Ostrich Show Farm, Army Museum, Wet World Pedas Hot Springs or visit the Sungai Timun Fireflies River Ride (one of the largest firefly colonies in the country).
