Sepang is a small city located about 50km away from Kula Lumpur. Until the year 2000, Sepang was forgotten and insignificant in terms of tourism. But with the establishment of Kula Lumpur International Airport, as well as the Formula One racing track, thousands of people flock to Sepang every year, making the once-invisible city make its mark on maps.
When in Sepang, you are unlikely to be in need of a place to grab a bite. The airport itself offers a multitude of food places including, but not limited to, international fast food chains. Outside the airport, there are establishments popping up due the popularity of the area, making food one thing you need not worry. If you wish to stay in the vicinity of the airport, Sepang resorts are there at your service, ranging from resorts serving those who wish to stay a night to resorts with a view such as AVANI Sepang Goldcoast Resort.
Recreational activities in Sepang are an upcoming industry. The most popular activity is visiting Sepang International Circuit. The circuit hosts a number of major events in motorsports such as Malaysian Grand Prix, Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix as well as A1 Grand Prix. Designed by Hermann Tilke, the German designer who designed other F1 venues including Marina Bay and Austin, Sepang International Circuit is 5.5km long. You can ride a lap in a Formula One car on your visit to the Circuit. In addition to that, you can visit Sepang Elim Sanctuary or if you are in the mood for a bit of nature, go on a fishing tour in the mangroves of Sungai Sepang. However, if you have only one day here, and have to decide on one activity to do, it is best that you visit Putrajaya, a city that is now dusting itself off, and observe the vibrant local life as it adapts to the modern world.
