Does anyone go to Sipadan this Spring Festival?

If you want to exile yourself, try to relax yourself, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and escape from the deception of the mall for a while. Come to Sipadan.

If you like the sea, if you are tired of the tourist attractions arranged by travel agencies, the crowds of domestic attractions and the noise of the city, I suggest you come to Sipadan. There are no shopping malls, hotels, bars, hot springs, tourist souvenir markets and singing and dancing places. There are only sunshine, beaches (which can only be seen at low tide), endless beautiful corals and countless colorful fish.

If you have five or six days' holiday, I suggest you relax and come to Sipadan.

Sipadan is located in Sabah, Malaysia. You can fly to Kuala Lumpur from Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places, or transfer to Douhu at Kota Kinabalu. It will take 1 hour by boat.

Many people think that such a beautiful place should be more expensive, but it is not.

Flights to Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah, include China Southern Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia. If you choose luxury, Singapore Airlines needs 45,000 RMB for the whole business class. If you choose frugality, it is recommended to choose AirAsia's low-cost airlines.

If you book three months in advance, you can buy a very cheap ticket at AirAsia. Now, you can book an AirAsia ticket for August 2009. The total round-trip expenses between Shenzhen, Biya and Douhu shall not exceed RMB 65,438 +0, and 700 yuan RMB (including tax). The total round trip is * * * I just searched for/site/ch/ch/home.jsp. Of course, many cheap air tickets for flights from Shenzhen to and from all parts of the country need you to show your talents. Most tourists to Sipadan Island can't arrive on the same day and often need to stop in Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu. If you are strong enough to spend the night, I suggest that the night flight take off from Shenzhen at 00:40 a.m. 2 1: 10 to Kuala Lumpur and arrive at the airport at 7:20 a.m. for 6-7 hours. The hotel will arrange airport pick-up and drop-off for free, and you can arrive in Sipadan at about 13, which is the shortest and most economical route we have found to reach Sipadan, and it is also the hardest. Because you are on the plane in the first half of the night and at the airport in the second half of the night, you need to keep an eye on AirAsia's website at all times. A local Chinese told me that there is a 0% discount ticket. AirAsia has its own Chinese website, and can book tickets directly online without any agent. You have no idea how cheap it is. Many friends in China have many concerns about low-cost airlines, so there is no need to tell you. Because our cheap flights are more spacious and comfortable than our domestic flights from Beijing to Hangzhou, the thickness of economy class seats on the plane from Beijing to Hangzhou is less than 10 cm, which is not much different from that of benches. I fly once a month. Although I am a gold card member, it is also very painful. Airasia's planes are clean, tidy and comfortable. Low-cost airlines are only exempt from catering and other services on the plane. Of course, the flight attendants are there, and the service costs money. When boarding the plane, you should take the ferry or walk to the plane by yourself. I think friends at home can run from one end of the runway to the other in order to exert their physical strength. In order to save money, you may have to do a little exercise. Domestic airlines such as Malaysia Airlines fly to these areas along the coastline, while AirAsia chooses direct flights to save fuel. The disadvantage is that in the ocean, if the plane is forced to land far from the coast when there is a problem, you may start swimming before you get to Sipadan. Of course, so far, you haven't heard that there is something wrong with AirAsia's plane, so sit down. The feasibility of swimming halfway is lower than winning the first prize in the lottery. The advantage is that you can get off the plane for an hour because the direct flight distance is short. All expenses except safety can be saved, and you have to pay for checked baggage. 15 kg is equivalent to 20 RMB, and priority boarding is equivalent to 15 RMB 30 yuan. Beverage and food dinner websites have prices, so booking online is cheaper. When booking tickets, you will have many choices. Be careful that any choice you make means paying an extra fee. It takes only three hours to fly from Shenzhen to Kuala Lumpur and more than two hours to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu. There is no need to save money. Fortunately, it is free to go to the toilet on the plane, otherwise we really have to solve some physiological needs before boarding. However, some expenses are reasonable. I suggest you choose priority boarding, because the flight is not seated by the number, you can sit in the front. It was Chen Huansheng's first time in town, and he couldn't find the seat number on his boarding pass. When I got on the plane, I was so happy that the Malaysian stewardess said "sit anywhere" in Chinese, so I sat in the first row without hesitation and straightened my legs to enjoy the treatment provided by the first row airlines for gold card members.

Of course, you can also choose Malaysia Airlines or China Southern Airlines. The codes of Malaysia Airlines and China Southern Airlines are both * * *. If you have the Pearl Card of China Southern Airlines, you can accumulate more than 10000 miles by buying a ticket of China Southern Airlines, which is equivalent to another free domestic ticket. You can apply for a pearl card temporarily, directly on the plane or on the website. This is beside the point.

The round-trip ticket of Malaysia Airlines is about 8000 yuan. I went from Beijing to Kuala Lumpur, and then transferred to Gotham, Beijing and Helu. Another round-trip ticket from Kota Kinabalu to Douhu includes 300 yuan RMB tax, including priority boarding and one piece of luggage. I haven't seen an ideal flight that can arrive in Sipadan on the same day, whether by AirAsia or Malaysia Airlines. Malaysia Airlines are Lu, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur and Beijing. The next morning, you will fly to Douhu for 40 minutes, and then the hotel will pick you up to Sipadan for free. The arrival time in Sipadan should be around noon 12: 30. AirAsia is in Shenzhen, Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu, then take the early flight from Kuala Lumpur at 7: 20 and arrive in Kota Kinabalu at 9: 30, which is basically 10: 20 to take you to Douhu. You can get to Sipadan free of charge through the airport, go ashore from Douhu to the private pier in Semporna, and then take a boat from the pier to the water cabin.

A few years ago, the Malaysian government did not allow people to stay in Sipadan and restricted the number of people visiting the island every day. They left at six in the morning, including 16 swimming coach. Only 60 people were allowed to stay for half a day in the morning, and 60 people were closed at 5: 30 in the afternoon. Sipadan Island is a 70-minute sea journey from Douhu. We live in a water house built on the coral reef nearest to Sipadan Island, which is very beautiful. Kapalai is called Kapalai in English. It is best to book directly on his website and clearly mark the price. This is not negotiable. As mentioned above, the air tickets of six Sichuanese are very cheap, but the hotel booked this hotel through an American agent. Finally, the hotel didn't allow them to board the ship, because the hotel didn't charge them the booking fee, which means the agent ran away with their money. In the end, the six of them had to pay more than 20 thousand yuan for three nights on the spot before they could land on the island. I wonder if these people can recover their losses. I just remind you to make a reservation on the official government website. /sc/attraction.php？ Id= 10 1000037 All fees will be deducted because the reservation is successful, and the reservation must be completed one month in advance. This part of the fee is the most expensive = 1 0,400/person, 4 days /3 nights = 1 0,880/person. When you are tired of swimming, you can go to the coffee shop to eat snacks and drink coffee, all of which are free. Three meals a day are served at a fixed point. The quality of catering is moderate, and there must be something suitable for your appetite. There are barbecues, fish and shrimp, steak and roast chicken every night.

The water house is very spacious, because there is no air conditioning, and the place without sun is very comfortable. There is an electric fan in the room. I never turn it on. The balcony is 20 square meters, because living at sea will not introduce the concept of sea view room to many hotels in China. It's a sea view room. It's comfortable to lie in the bathtub and enjoy the fish. Without TV and telephone, you can make international calls to the business center of the hotel. China, move. There's a signal here. You don't have to waste your time on boring island TV dramas. Of course, I suggest you bring a book you like. Reading when swimming is not suitable is also a pleasure. In China, many of us have no time to read books. We often watch news and TV online, and all we taste is cultural fast food. Reading is a luxury for many people, and the books on the shelves are covered with dust. Take it to Sipadan to dry. Although it is four degrees north latitude, there are no mosquitoes in this place, and there is no need for mosquito-repellent incense. All the windows are open at night, don't worry. There are no thieves, except guests and waiters. Of course, if you climb in through the window, you have to jump into the sea first. The window is five or six meters from the sea level. You really don't know how to climb in. When all valuables arrive at the hotel, it is recommended that you store them in the service center, because cash is not needed anywhere, and all consumption is signed. Don't tip, but also remind in English "No problem, no tipping". When you leave, put a few dollars in the tip box of the restaurant. Their employees earn an average of RM 20 a month, so there should be nothing to say. The staff are very enthusiastic. When you have any doubts on your face, he will come to help you at once. I don't understand English, no problem. I can probably understand it with my hands.

The Malaysian government tourism website also has a detailed introduction. When traveling to Sipadan, you must bring sunscreen, which requires 50+. It is sold in duty-free shops when going through customs, and domestic shopping malls are basically 30+. The effect is generally recommended to buy 50+. Otherwise, you will be punished by God.

Change ten dollars for a tip. In principle, it will give you extra services. You need to tip. You should pay a dollar for cleaning the room every day. It is recommended not to drive up the price, or you will be responsible for the price increase in the future.

If you have a professional camera, you'd better take it with you. It's worth taking pictures everywhere. Don't be stingy with your time and memory card, just take photos as much as you like. You'd better rent an underwater camera from the hotel, 180 RM every day. In the photo studio in Na Ba Road, gotham city, you can buy waterproof covers for ordinary cameras. I saw it, but I didn't understand it at that time. I thought of a crystal model of the camera. Merchants selling RM 5438 in 800 yuan are crazy. In retrospect, I didn't know it was a waterproof shell until I came here. Observing corals and fish on the sea surface is very different from observing them underwater. Underwater is really colorful. If you don't have an underwater camera, you will regret it.

Diving is divided into snorkeling and deep diving. Deep dive here needs a diving card, and the international diving card can be obtained by studying in China. Snorkeling is relatively simple. Anyone, including those who can't swim, can snorkel, because the coral around you is 1 m away from the water surface at low tide. You can see clearly on the water, surrounded by beautiful corals and disguised fish. This is the real enjoyment of life. I can't swim, but I wear a life jacket and a respirator every day and spend no less than three hours in the water. People who can't swim are not in danger, just please calm down, because you can't sink to the bottom. There are no waves here all the year round, calm and buoyant. Even if you want to sink, you need to use sinking facilities. There is too much buoyancy here, and the water can only float on the water. Of course, the danger is that you can't leave the designated area, because the house built on this coral, a few meters away from the periphery, is a bottomless pit 600 meters deep. If you can't swim, swim in this area. I swam there once and was called back by a lifeguard a few meters later. Snorkeling is recommended for people who can't swim at low tide. You can touch coral. I suggest you just look at them, because corals are fragile and easy to die.

For the return trip, you can choose from Kota Kinabalu Shenzhen or Kuala Lumpur to Shenzhen, and it will be easier to fly back to your hometown from Shenzhen. Some people fly to Kuala Lumpur and then to Hong Kong for a day, and then return to Shenzhen via Shenzhen Port, so that you can go to more places.

The most precious thing in travel is time. There are two time periods for leaving the hotel, one is 6:30 in the morning and the other is 13:30 in the afternoon. When you go to Kuala Lumpur in the morning, you can browse the city, go to the Twin Towers or Chinatown, and leave for home the next day. The disadvantage is that you lost the sunshine and coral beauty all morning. The advantage is that you have enough time to visit Kuala Lumpur. It was already evening when I left for Kuala Lumpur in the afternoon. I had to wait until the next morning to fly back to China and weigh the pros and cons myself. It takes 6 hours to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and 3 hours to fly to Shenzhen. The whole trip should be said to be not very tiring, much more relaxed and comfortable than the new Mataigen travel agency. Of course, you also have a lonely side, that is, you can't see Malaysia on the other side.
