20 18 introduction of self-help tour in Sabah+matters needing attention

Sabah, located in Malaysia, is a very prosperous modern city and a world-famous tourist destination. The sea view here is spectacular, and all kinds of comfortable entertainment projects emerge one after another, which will completely ignite your passion. Here, I would like to share with you the 20 18 Sabah self-help tour guide and matters needing attention.

This annual leave is 10 days, and then I am ready for the long-awaited trip to Sabah!

Sabah is located in northern Borneo, adjacent to Indonesia. Before going to Bali, we also transferred to Malaysia. Sabah is located in the tropics, and our schedule is165438+1October 22nd-165438+1October 29th. The average annual temperature in Sabah is 2 1-33 degrees, which is not as hot as that in Thailand and Bali ... Most shopping malls and public places are heavily air-conditioned, so it is recommended that friends with children or elderly people who travel freely take long-sleeved trousers, otherwise they will catch a cold at once ... Well, from 165438+ June to March, May to July is the rainy season every year. We were lucky to go this time, basically it was sunny when we went out, and it rained when we got back to the hotel.

I have to go to another class to drive after class ... I have been walking for more than 40 minutes, and I haven't seen the door yet ... My legs have no rhythm ... My urban area is actually not too big, I feel.

Our purpose this time is mainly Kota Kinabalu.

We mainly went to Mermaid Island, and now Wuhan has opened a direct flight to Kota Kinabalu. In order to save money, we booked a round-trip ticket a month and a half ago. Wuhan flies to Kota Kinabalu for about four hours. Go to airasia in the middle of the night, the location is so small. Fortunately, there were few people on the plane, so Coco and I found a row to have a rest.

The plane arrived in Kota Kinabalu after four o'clock in the morning. We have booked the pick-up service in advance and found the pick-up driver immediately. It's really hard. At this time, there is a phone card seller at the exit of the airport. There are several kinds of phone cards. We chose one at random, about RMB in 50 yuan, charging 2G traffic RM 10. Most of our signals are 4G all the way, which is very good!

Then I looked at the exchange rate at the airport, which was not very good. At this time, there is actually no need to change money. Any bigger shopping mall has a place to exchange money, or it is most convenient to apply for a Huaxia bank card and withdraw it directly from the ATM. The face value of ATM is 20.50. 10 (but I heard from customer service that this activity will end this year! )

Then the airport comes out, and there is a supermarket called orange next to the money exchange office. Because AirAsia couldn't send anything, we got off easily. This supermarket can directly tell the clerk to use Alipay! Suddenly I feel that Father Ma is so powerful! )

Alipay and UnionPay can be used in many places here. Except for small manufacturers, RM is needed. In fact, you don't need to bring so many RM's, because it's not easy to change when you come back. We both took 1000 ... and we didn't use it for seven or eight days.

Arrived at the hotel in the middle of the night, checked in smoothly, and got up after ten o'clock in the morning. Kota Kinabalu and Wuhan have no time difference, but the same time. After staying in the hotel for an afternoon, we are going to visit the city and exchange money. ..

Our hotel is in the downtown area, so it is convenient to buy things. In addition, we were lucky to find the ATM of UnionPay on the first floor. The ATM here is not covered. It's safer for two people to withdraw money together, and then go upstairs to find it.

bodyshop

Discount ... buy!

The most important thing is to buy sunscreen above 1 10. I brought 50+ before. Absolutely impossible. Friends who go into the water should at least bring 1 10, otherwise your skin color is local tyrant ... hehe.

The next day, after a good rest, we were going to look around the city and went to Sabah University! The local people told us that Sabah is the only university in Sabah. It is so big ... it is impossible to walk, and it is shocking to drive to change classrooms after class. Moreover, the sense of happiness here in Sabah is very strong, and reading is free, as long as RM 1 is needed to see a doctor! RM 1 about RMB 1.6 12, which varies from day to day. But the salary in Sabah is quite low, JC is about RM 1000.

Behind it is the government building, Mos Bar ... office. When we went there, many Koreans took pictures there, much like the buildings in Dubai.

The water mosque is a very famous local building, located in the center of Kota Kinabalu. You will see it several times. The water mosque is located on an artificial lake in Kaswan, downtown Kota Kinabalu.

If you want to go indoors, you should register in the green house next to you and rent local clothes. The cost is about RM 3-5. There is a grocery store selling Elvis durian popsicles, RM 15. Durian popsicles average RM 3 ... In fact, other popsicles are quite delicious! Mango, litchi, moss ... this scenic spot doesn't need tickets, but it's empty and there's nothing to see. ....

Passing the local China Temple. ...

Uprising square, these locations are all in the urban area, and they are all close, so you can look all the way.

In the seaside bar street of the city, there is a market near the sea. Coconut water RM 5, and many fruits, durian, mango, pepper, eggplant and okra, are all cheaper! But it is not recommended to buy all of them. Mangosteen and durian are best eaten before returning to the hotel, and the hotel will be fined RM 500! !

We focus on the bar. The wine in the bar is not expensive, and the price is similar to that in the supermarket. There is no need to pay extra tips or service charges. There are many barbecues nearby to eat. Bars can also order songs, including Jay Chou and Fish Leong ... and so on ... and have a barbecue. The barbecue here is delicious. There is a transvestite next to him, but he is not good-looking. Foreigners find more transvestites, and locals find them ugly. .....

Most local people believe in YSL, so you will find many people wearing headscarves on the road: Women wearing headscarves: Well, don't stare at others, it's impolite, and you can marry four wives locally, but you can only marry a second wife with the consent of the first wife, and the treatment is the same. For example, if you buy a car with your first wife, you must buy a car with your second wife, or you can leave. When passing by Mercedes-Benz 4S shop, I saw local tyrants buying cars with their third wives! Men here like to drink.

It's called Dongge Ali ... it's bitter, like an aphrodisiac ... I drank wine and my urine was yellow ... it's too bitter. ...

Oh, by the way, it costs 23 cents to go to the bathroom here. Toilets in shopping malls are free. Local people wash their bottoms with their left hands after going to the toilet, so you can't point at others with your left hand, otherwise it's impolite, and most of them have to bring their own paper.

When you come to Sabah, you will love the sunset here, because every day is different, different colors, different days.

Sabah is known as the top ten best places to watch the sunset in the world. We have been to Kimbaland Beach in Bali before, and it is also very beautiful. The beauty of watching the sunset on two beaches is different. Kimbaland Beach seems to have a golden edge on everyone in the sunset, which is particularly beautiful. The beauty of the sunset in Sabah lies in the different colors every day and the endless feeling. ...

Because the coastline of Sabah faces west, you can see the most spectacular sunset every day! Tanjung Yalu River Beach is downtown, so you can buy several glasses of juice and beer cocktails and enjoy the beautiful sunset quietly! If you order a barbecue, you must remember to make a counter-offer ... the number of grams is written here, but it is not given to you according to the number of grams. ...

Tiger shrimp is the best in the local area ... We bought 36 MYR 100g, depending on the size ... If you are afraid of slaughter, you can go to several places opposite Shuguang Square to eat tiger shrimp and tiger crab, which are normal prices, not expensive and delicious! There is no processing fee, you can choose four flavors, cream, barbecue, salt and pepper, and a Mu Si sauce. I forgot, we all tried. Personally, I think cream is the best:

In fact, the main reason for choosing Kota Kinabalu was that Kota Kinabalu was one of the most famous tourist destinations in Sabah. There are modern shopping centers, primitive tribes and beautiful scenery in the suburbs. The price is reasonable and convenient. There is a shopping center near our hotel, and the life of Malaysians is quite satisfactory. We went to the shopping mall this morning 1 1, and all the shops were closed. Because I didn't bring slippers, I went to sh to buy slippers. The boss said it was funny. Ha ha laugh ... the shrimp in the mall is super big and not expensive, and it is better to eat about RM 50 per capita.

Precautions:

There are still many mosquitoes here, but when I bite, it itches. After a while, it doesn't itch. Unlike my mosquitoes, I get a big bag of redness and swelling when I bite! However, it is suggested that friends who come to play bring all the medicines: I brought diarrhea medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, cold medicine, antipyretic medicine, anti-allergic medicine, mosquito repellent, band-aid ... disinfectant, etc ... It turned out to be necessary, because the air conditioner blew when the cocoa was cold, and then I went to the island to have diarrhea before. In addition, one day we went to see corals, and many dead corals hung up their legs ... most of the places where we played with water were in the suburbs.

Here you can: Eyes: There are many places for sunset, so one place we recommend is the private beach of Shangri-La Hotel. If you use international uber taxi in urban areas, you can choose a driver who can speak Chinese. If you take the bus, 1.5 RM, but the bus interval is very long, and most locals can speak a little Chinese or English. It doesn't matter even if they can't. I'll teach you one of my little tricks, which is to get a desk card. They will understand, and then most families there have cars, so it's very convenient to take an international Uber ... a trip around the city is 60-70 ringgit at most ... so it's enough to take a taxi within 30 ringgit, and there are taxis there, but I don't like watching them, so I personally think it's more convenient to use Uber if we are traveling together ... and it's easy to call a taxi without affecting the time. ...

I went to the nearest island in the city first, 10 minutes ago. Then we can snorkel here and watch the fish. The scenery is beautiful. We can dive further, but we want to go to Mermaid Island later, so we just play here. At noon, it is a local buffet ... drinks and beer are 3 ringgit per bottle.

Lizards everywhere feel very friendly, eating mosquitoes is next to me, and watching the sunset at the seaside is my daily compulsory course. Drinking a can of coke or beer, watching it quietly for an hour, blowing the sea breeze, is really comfortable ... Basically, Koreans are on vacation near me, and I feel that Korean aunts are also quite scary and noisy. ...

I saw a lot: fish: I also saw fragments of jellyfish. I feel that the seaside water quality in the urban area here is average, and it will be much better to go to Mermaid Island in the future!

In the local JC bureau, you will find that JC is rarely seen here. We only met JC once after playing for seven or eight days, that is, to pick up after school. I heard that JC there can do their own thing with a police car and live in JC's apartment. It's no problem to bring four wives, but JC's salary is not high, only about 900 ringgit, so you should ask JC to do something.

It better be a bribe. It feels like Thailand. ...

Malaysian ringgit is used locally, with ringgit as the currency unit and RM as the English abbreviation. The international standard code is MYR. RM 1 equals RM 100 (Sen, or "Xian"). Coins are 1 minute, 5 cents, 10, 20 cents and 50 cents. The face value of paper money is RM 1,

RM5, RM 10, RM50 and RM 100.

I feel that the horse father here is very powerful. You can use AliPay, and you basically use Alipay. ...

People there also like to eat hot pot. I thought there was a discount, so I ordered hot pot. Sure enough, seafood is still abundant. Ha ha laugh ... there are many local dishes that put juice like lime in them. ....

Shuguang Square is very suitable for China people to visit. I feel that 70% of the shopping guides can speak Chinese, and then the mall will refund 6%. After shopping, you need to apply for a passport refund. Then Pandora, Chanel and sk-2 here are more cost-effective, and the counter sister is very generous. If you like, you can give me many samples ... The samples we brought back are sold to 300 yuan, haha. ...

Is the sunset different every day ... I'm proud that I can't send videos. I shoot the sunset video every day, and every day is different!

The biscuits in this house are so delicious that I forgot to call them Moses ... Chocolate is also good, and they are also sold in kota kinabalu international airport. Friends who like sweets can try it. ...

There is a big supermarket on the first floor of the hotel in the center of our city, just like RT Mart, with a green sign.

When I checked out, I asked the cashier to brush UnionPay and bought a lot of snacks. After I came, I wanted to drink a smile, freshly squeezed and eat shrimp strips every day ...;

Elephant slippers, the boss said they wouldn't wear out for 30 years. Haha, we bought them when we were doing activities ... RM 17.99. Is it very cheap to buy them? Ha ha.

Because my husband's younger brother is a tourist, he booked us a resort hotel in Brunei, and the price was very low. This hotel is too big. And cocoa at home suddenly had a fever, which should be a cold, so I poured Jiang Shui and let him take a hot bath and have a good rest. This hotel is in the suburbs, and we also want to feel the original atmosphere ... the front desk can't close before 2 pm.

Now, we arrived early, took a casual walk and left our luggage at the front desk. Later, the front desk said it was off-season, and we couldn't find our order number at that time. I'm sorry to upgrade our room directly ... super happy.

Hotel information, you can refer to it.

Isn't it beautiful? It's the sea outside and you can watch the sunset. Ha ha.

According to the hotel buffet, RM 158 is more expensive in the hotel. We found a place to have tea at night, but many of them were gone, so we had to order some dishes, but they were delicious ... The hotel usually serves breakfast at 6:30- 10:30.

Go to bed in the morning and wake up in the morning. ...

It is said that Chinese aunts are noisy, but they are not. Korean aunts and Korean guys are really annoying ... they have been quarreling with Koreans for the past two days. ...

Feeling Hotel: Hotel: 80% Korean. ...

I gave myself a new image, but I still like it. Haha, I'm ready to leave for Mermaid Island!

Mermaid island of merenyude

It is recommended to arrange a two-day trip to Mermaid Island. After the first day on the island, you can arrange to participate in diving activities; There are two resorts on the island. You can stay overnight and get up early the next day to watch the sunrise.

Mermaid Island is located on the coast of Sabah. You can charter a boat from Sabah or Kota Kin Na Ba Road to Mermaid Island, and the journey takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Or take a speedboat from Kota Kinmao, which takes about 35 minutes.

You can choose a local one-day tour .. The two of us probably spent more than 800 RMB, which is cheaper. ...

Our driver in Su Yongkang asked the local people to pay back the price, 35 ringgit lobster ... followed by litchi juice and local juice. ...

Flamingo, the spirit-loader, haha ....

I took a deep diving starfish and was told by the coach. The local people cherish their marine life very much. Ah, they will consciously clean up the marine garbage, so you must put it back when you get the starfish ... so must the fish ... I saw many crocodiles ... Red is on the way to the mangrove forest.

Looking for blue tears haha .....

Top1in the eyes of diving enthusiasts-Sipadan. Its area is less than 30 mu, and it can walk around in less than 20 minutes, but it is recognized as the "leading diving paradise" in the world. It's called "God's Aquarium", which is a place I must come once in my life.

Proboscis monkeys are mainly distributed in Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei, and only a few remain. If you are lucky, you may see its back. And fireflies, the night is a vast dreamlike scene, and fireflies all over the sky shuttle around you.

The lake on this side of the mangrove is not the sea.

Mangroves that have just rained feel like the Mekong River. ...

There are no proboscis monkeys, only many proboscis monkeys. ...

The more you look at it, the more it looks like Mekong River. Ha ha laugh .....

Deep diving ... remember to rent a camera. Underwater camera, we brought that waterproof bag but it didn't shoot well. It costs 100 RM to rent this.

dive deep

What a beautiful sunset ... are they all different!

The fireflies I watched at night were brought in by local people with lights, which could not be photographed by mobile phones. They were taken by professional cameras ... It seems that they need long exposure ... You have a professional camera to try. ....

Crocodiles, birds and squirrels wake me up every day in our hotel: chipmunks: so cute ... many white birds should be egrets ... green and blue birds.

The hotel watches the sunset!

This is a proboscis monkey. I didn't even see it. ....

Baku Gucha ... feels like Yangchun noodle soup in Nanjing food stall. It tastes like soy sauce and medicine, and I can't get used to it. ....

I'm leaving this island ... I'm sorry!

shopping guide

It's fun to buy a limited edition. ...

Next time I plan to go to Sabah, I will go to Semporna. ...

Blue dream: blue _ heart:

Awei, the tour guide, Ying is very kind to us. She also plays bubbles underwater. Let's see ... like it!

Time difference: Both Malaysia and China are in the East Eighth District, so there is no time difference.

Adapter plug, British standard three-head socket. My mobile iPad are all Hong Kong versions .. They can be widely used in Malaysia. ...

Mobile power supply, in foreign countries, needs the help of electronic equipment anytime and anywhere, so bring mobile power supply in case of emergency.

The price of SK-2 Fairy Water 330ml is very beautiful. The original price is RM 794, and the coupon 1 10, plus the tax refund, is less than RM 1000.

Chanel lipstick is RM 120, and the coupon is RM 10, which is equivalent to RMB 170. All the popular colors are out of stock. I bought 280 from Russia before.
