Kampung Kuantan, a sleepy hollow in KualaSelangor, 75 km north of the capital, is famed for its firefly "show": thousands of the winged beetles appear each night along the Selangor River, flashing their glowing tails.
Surrounding the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, Selangor's strategic location boosts its appeal as the preferred holiday destination for the rising middle class Malaysians and foreign tourists.
