Tourism icons of Kedah

The history of Kedah and its royalty can be traced back to the 5th century with its origins in the Bujang Valley (Lembah Bujang). Here, at the archaeological site, are remnants of shrines (“candi”). These ancient shrines bear testimony to the existence of the religions of Hinduism and Buddhism in the state. At that time, Kedah flourished with trade and the state was popular with Chinese and Indian traders.

Later in the 7th and 8th century, Kedah became a vassal of the Sumatera Kingdom of Srivijaya. After the collapse of the kingdom, Kedah came under the rule of Siam (Thailand) until the 15th century when it became part of the Melaka Sultanate.

In the 17th century, Kedah faced numerous attacks from the Portuguese and the Achehs. In 1821, the Siamese regained control of Kedah until 1909 when power was transferred to the British. During the Second World War Kedah, like the rest of the states in Malaya, was occupied by the Japanese. When the Japanese surrendered, Kedah joined the Federation of Malaya in 1948.

吉打皇室可以追源到第 5 世纪时所建立于 Bujang 谷的王朝。在 Bujang 谷一带所发现的古代庙宇废墟，显示出这里曾经存有“兴都教及佛教文明”。当时这里的商业繁荣，吸引了许多中国和印度的商人都来这里做买卖。

在第 7 世纪和第 8 世纪期间，吉打受苏门答腊 Srivijaya 皇朝的统治。该皇朝没落后，吉打又成为暹罗的统治地，到了 15 世纪马六甲皇朝的出现，将该区域建立为回教王国。然而，在17世纪时吉打又不断地面对葡萄牙人和亚齐人的攻击，最后于 1821 年再次落入暹罗人的手中。1909 年，暹罗将吉打的主权转交给英国。几经辗转，在日本殖民结束后，吉打在 1948 年成为“马来亚联邦”的州属之一。

ABOUT KEDAH

HISTORY 历史

Kedah can easily be reached by road, rail, air and sea. The North-South Expressway that cuts across the state of Kedah enables visitors from Kuala Lumpur to get to the state in less than six hours. Travelers could also choose to travel by rail from Kuala Lumpur, or Butterworth in Penang, to Alor Setar. Malaysia Airlines, the national air carrier, and Air Asia fly several times a day from Kuala Lumpur to Alor Setar and to the island of Langkawi. Express bus and taxis services are available daily at the Puduraya and Duta Bus Terminal in Kuala Lumpur. Last but not least, there are regular fast boat (ferry) services from Kuala Kedah, Kuala Perlis and Penang to Langkawi.

TRANSPORTATION 交通

Kedah takes full advantage of its strategic location to attract investments. High technology and heavy industries have made their way into Kedah, a state which once had an economy that was predominantly agricultural-based.

Though priority is given to industrial development, tourism has become a major income for the state. This can be seen in the rapid development of the Langkawi group of islands as a major tourist attraction of the country.

早期时的吉打是一个以农业为主的州属，但目前它正积极朝向各种不同领域去发展。从早期纯粹的农业种植演变到现今拥有许多工业区及新商业中心。随着浮罗交怡的发展，旅游业亦成为了吉打州主要的收入来源之一。

The Lembah Bujang or Bujang Valley is considered the richest archaeological site in Malaysia. Located about 17km from Sungai Petani, Kedah, the site covers an area of more than 400 square kilometres. Currently, about 2500 artefacts dug up are still under research. Once upon a time, from the 3rd to the 12th century AD, the valley was a busy commercial centre for a thriving kingdom. It was also known as “Nusantara” - the “Outer Islands” - and to some, the valley was a “Seat of Delights”.

Today in the Bujang Valley, there is another “delight” - one that appeals to tourists and history buffs. It is the Bujang Valley Museum. Boasting of about one thousand artefacts recovered from archaeological diggings and excavations, one cannot help but marvel at the height of civilisation that was attained by the people at that time. Not only were they commercially successful, they were also religiously advanced. The relics that one can lay eyes on in the museum include beads, ceramics, earthenware and photographs of archaeological discoveries.

如今的马英武让谷，还有另一个被眷顾的地方——受到游客与历史爱好者拥戴的马英武让谷博物馆。从博物馆中收藏着的 1000 件出土文物，没有一人不惊叹于当时文明所达到的辉煌高度。从前的人们不仅仅取得商业上的成就，即使在宗教信仰上也有着进步的发展。博物馆中让游客驻足观赏的展览品包括珠子、陶瓷器与一些考古发现的照片。

For tasty, delicious food, visit the bazaar for Pekan Rabu, the food courts in shopping complexes and the bustling night markets. It will surely not disappoint you.

FOOD 佳肴美食 吉打州拥有各式各样的食物，如马来餐、华人餐、印度餐及泰国餐等，为游客提供多种选择。这里的特别料理多以香料及草木植物所配制的材料，让游客可以品尝到原汁原味道地食物。

几道传统道地食物，如波罗蜜咖喱，番薯叶、Pekasam等，极受游客的喜爱。其中一道非常吸引的道地食物是Nasi Ulam。它的做法非常简单，只要将米饭、香料及新鲜的蔬菜混合在一起再加入适量的水份，就大功告成了。看似简单的米饭，味道可不简单哦！通常在马来同胞的斋戒月时，Nasi Ulam是餐桌上必备的食物。

如果没有尝试过当地的叻沙，就不算到过吉打了。吉打叻沙的配料是用鱼骨熬成浓郁的鱼汤，然后再配以晶莹剔透的面条、黄瓜、洋葱、辣椒等，味道酸中带一点辣，好吃极了。想要品尝以上让人垂涎三尺的美食，您不妨前往拉布市集、购物广场内的美食中心及夜市集走

一趟，绝不会让您失望而归。
