16．The most interesting thing to see in Malaysia is the ever-increasing number of festivals held around the country．Made up of traditional cultural celebrations，religious （宗教的） holidays and modern sporting or cultural events，Malaysia's festivals mean there's always a party to be found．
More traditional events，such as World Kite Festival，the Magic of the Night and the Lantern Festival-to name just a few-all appear in many calendars around the nation．Traditional religious celebrations，such as Chinese New Year and Christmas，are also popular in Malaysia and are celebrated across different cultures and backgrounds．
The greatest event of the year's calendar for any food lover will be the Malaysia Gourmet Festival，held throughout chosen hotels in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur．
One of the most popular of these new additions is the Malaysia Year End Sale，which runs from November through to early January．All around the nation there're cheaper sales．
When it comes to the celebrations，Malaysians are some of the most generous （慷慨的） people in the world．During many of the year's important events，Malaysians will open their homes to friends，families and strangers （including tourists） in a tradition known as"Rumah Terbuka"or"Open House"．Attending an Open House is a great opportunity to join the Malaysian，make friends and enjoy delicious local food．The government or local groups will also sometimes offer an Open House in a larger place，such as a big hall．Everyone is welcome to take part in such events，which have helped create a positive （积极的） air．
