Malaysia is a beautiful and magical tropical country. Located 7 degrees north of the equator, it is located in the core of Southeast Asia. It is formed by the merger of the southern Malay Peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak on Borneo Island. It has a vast territory and covers an area of 329,758 square kilometers.

regarding the self-help tour in Malaysia, the recommended route is Kuala Lumpur-genting highlands-Langkawi-Kuala Lumpur.

I went to Kuala Lumpur first because of the plane. There are direct flights from Shanghai to Kuala Lumpur by Malaysia Airlines, which seems to be available every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Malaysia Airlines' service is ok in international flights. It takes five hours to fly from Shanghai to Kuala Lumpur. The hotel industry in Kuala Lumpur is also very developed, and five-star hotels can be seen everywhere in the city, such as Guidu and Park Plaza. It is recommended to stay at Park Plaza Hotel, and the price is around RM 3-4 (the exchange rate of RM to RMB is about 1: 2.2), which is relatively cheap in five-star hotels in Southeast Asia.

Many scenic spots in Kuala Lumpur don't need tickets, such as the National Palace, National Heroes Monument, Independence Square and Orchid Garden, but to be honest, there is nothing to see. If you are really free, you can take some photos as a souvenir. It is recommended to see the Kuala Lumpur TV Tower, the Twin Towers (K.L.C.C) and the Royal Selangor Tin Factory.

Kuala Lumpur TV Tower is the fourth tallest tower in the world, also known as "Pineapple Tower", second only to Shanghai Oriental Pearl TV Tower. You can have a bird's eye view of the whole city of Kuala Lumpur when you board the sightseeing hall on the tower. The whole process is similar to visiting the Oriental Pearl, but it is the fourth in the world, so I recommend it.

Although domestic tourists may not have heard of the Twin Towers, many people will say, "Oh … that's it!" The Twin Towers are the tallest buildings in the world at present, so there is no reason not to see them. Besides, they are really spectacular, and you can see them wherever you are in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Readers who like shopping should pay attention to the fact that there is a super-large shopping mall in the Twin Towers, because many things in Malaysia are duty-free, things are very cheap and shopping is very affordable. But remember, don't buy it right away, or you'll have to spend the whole holiday with big bags and small bags. Shopping before you leave is the best policy.

The Royal Selangor Tin Factory is a little far from the urban area, but it's not far away. You can take a taxi. The taxi fare in Kuala Lumpur is cheaper than that in Shanghai, with a starting fee of RM 3 and RMB 1.8 per kilometer. In the factory, you can visit the production process of tin ware, but the most important thing is to buy some tin ware back, because the royal Selangor tin ware is the most expensive in Malaysia, but it is also the best, with a global quality assurance system. The national average price, but there will be no fakes there.

you only need one day to use these places. Then you can go to Genting. To Genting, I suggest you live in the French village. The French village should actually be a hotel, in the mountains near Genting. The owner of the French village has integrated all the architectural styles of various periods in France into this village. There are guest rooms, shops, suspension bridges, bell towers and bars in the village. The rooms in the French village are extremely large, which is equivalent to a Shanghainese's home. You can see different Shan Ye scenery from any window, and the price is around RM 4 to RM 5. Sitting in the middle of the small streets in the French village at night, drinking beer and watching acrobatics is very artistic.

the accommodation is arranged properly, and you can rent a car to Genting, which takes about half an hour by car. What is genting? Genting is a large entertainment center, the most famous of which is probably Genting Casino. I warn you, don't take any chances to win a ticket, and lose nine out of ten. Let's play slot machines for fun. However, one thing to remember is that to go to Genting Casino, men must wear trousers, otherwise they are not allowed to enter the door. Another point is to put on more clothes. Genting Genting is really above the clouds. It will take a 2-minute cable car to go up. It's foggy and the temperature is much lower than that at the foot of the mountain, even in hot August. Don't blame me for not saying hello in advance, and you will die unsatisfied, hehe!

After Genting, you should go to Langkawi to have a good time. An hour's flight back to Kuala Lumpur will take you to Langkawi, which is called "Langkawi Island" by local Chinese. I suggest staying in Langkawi for three days and staying at Mutiara Resort, which belongs to the kind of beach when going out. It's very romantic.

on the first day, you can go around the island in the morning, and it's best to rent a car yourself. Ask around more places and you can rent a car for only RM 5 a day. Never rent a car in a hotel. It costs RM 6 for four hours, which is very expensive. However, there are requirements for renting a car, that is, driving for more than three years or holding an international driver's license. If you are interested, you can visit the Prime Minister's Exhibition Hall, which is a very exquisite gift from various governments to the Prime Minister of Malaysia. China gave their Prime Minister embroidery and mahogany lanterns, which can also be found there. In the afternoon, you can go out to sea to play on Pregnant Women Island and Giant Lion Island. There is a place in the waters of Giant Lion Island where you can feed eagles. If you throw raw chicken skin and intestines into the sea, you can see dozens of eagles flying all over the sky within 2 minutes, and it is rare to see them swooping down from time to time to grab food on the sea. If you are lucky, you can also see giant lizards swimming around you on the water.

There is only one activity the next day, but it will take a whole day, that is, going to Baya Island to play with water. Paya Island is the largest marine park in the world at present, and the Malaysian government is very strict in its management. Remember not to catch fish there or go to the bottom of the sea to pick up shells. If you catch a fine of RM 4, which is equivalent to RMB 88 yuan, it will be a big loss. The ship to Baya Island leaves at 9 a.m. and comes back at 3 p.m.. Baya Island has a beautiful beach, but the boat takes you to a nearby water platform where you can snorkel and dive. Snorkeling is swimming on the sea with a diving mirror. You can see the clear underwater world but you can't touch it. It doesn't cost money. Diving is to go down to the bottom of the sea with an oxygen bottle on your back, and the charge is RM 12. Of course, diving is more fun, but I'm a little nervous. After all, I have to dive about 1 meters, and my ears hurt. If you want to lie down on that beautiful beach, you can either go by boat, but it's a long walk. It's more exciting and not too far to swim by yourself. Although it takes a day in Baya Island, the scenery there is good and you can swim, so time will pass quickly and you won't feel bored.

what will you do on the third day? You'd better do nothing. Take a walk on the beach of the hotel, bask in the sun, drink beer, eat, sleep, drink, sleep and eat, and enjoy the day to the fullest. The last day is to return to Kuala Lumpur from Langkawi, so you must keep the time for shopping. K.L.C.C must go again. Of course, there are many big shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur. You can take your time. When shopping in Malaysia, the most cost-effective thing is to buy brand-name cosmetics, cigarettes and purses, which are more than half cheaper than those in Shanghai. If you go to Malaysia recently, it will be even cheaper. From August 1 to September, Malaysia is holding a "shopping carnival" with a big discount on goods nationwide. It is recommended that women with shopaholic tendencies go there quickly. After this village, there will be no such store. Clothes and electrical appliances in Kuala Lumpur are a little cheaper than those in Shanghai, but not as good as those in Singapore and Hong Kong. Remember, remember! Introduction to Singapore
