Is the price in Penang high?

The first thing to know when going to a place to play must be the consumption of this place. Today, Bian Xiao will introduce you to a related issue, such as the exchange rate in Penang. You can get to know about it and get ready to travel.

Currency exchange 1 Malaysian ringgit = 1.6 167 RMB.

1 RMB =0.6 186 Malaysian ringgit

There are not as many currency exchange points in Penang as in Kuala Lumpur, and the exchange rate is relatively low. I suggest you exchange Malaysian ringgit in Kuala Lumpur before coming to Penang. ATM is the most convenient way to withdraw money.

Consumption level Penang's consumption level is lower than Kuala Lumpur's and probably similar to Malacca's.

A meal per capita is basically RM 5-8, while a meal in a general restaurant is RM 25-50; Take a bus within 2 ringgit, and if you rent a tricycle to travel around Georgetown, the price is also within 50 ringgit; Bed rent for youth hostel: 50 ringgit, hotel: 100 ringgit/night.

Office hours of the bank: Monday to Friday, 10:00- 15:00, closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

Nearly 100 merchants in Malaysia can accept UnionPay cards. When shopping, China UnionPay will directly convert Malaysian ringgit into RMB, without charging currency conversion fee, and can enjoy different discounts and concessions. ; Debit card consumption is not limited by credit limit, and it is recommended to use debit card for large consumption.

Payment Some areas in Malaysia support WeChat payment, but the specific services supported are limited. Only some shops in Penang can pay by Alipay, and basically WeChat/Alipay can't be used.

Fans are advised to bring UnionPay cards and VISA cards. Most ATMs can use UnionPay cards, and most stores can also use UnionPay cards. Of course, there are still places where you can't use UnionPay, so you should also bring the converted currency.

Street snacks are paid in cash, so it is more convenient to change Malaysian currency.
