Major city · Malaysia
Semenyih
One day is enough: hike Broga Hill (≈1 h round‑trip), visit the Chinese temple at Broga, eat local stalls, then return to Kuala Lumpur or nearby base.
Semenyih is a small town in Selangor, best reached by car or bus from Kuala Lumpur. Its main attractions are Broga Hill Park (hiking, 675 m), a popular Chinese temple at Broga, and inexpensive local food. With a single half‑day hike and a quick town‑centre food tour, a day visit covers the highlights; overnight stays are only needed for those wanting a slower pace.
