What do I need to prepare for my trip to Malaysia?

I have been to Malaysia twice, once on an island in Kota Kinabalu and once on an unpopular island in Kota Kinabalu. Two self-help tours with the baby, booking air tickets, hotels, bus tickets, etc. The fun of self-help tour is something that group members will never experience. Here, this is my travel experience.

Since the destination is Kota Kinabalu, it's time to make preparations.

First, book a plane ticket.

Airasia tickets are affordable and often promoted throughout the year. Pay attention to the promotion information of airasia. If you catch up with the promotion, you can get hundreds of cheaper round trips by buying a ticket. After booking a plane ticket, you'd better book a domestic shuttle bus. If your English is not good, you can book tickets in advance in China, which can save a lot of unnecessary communication.

You can apply for a visa if you buy a plane ticket.

It is best to apply for a visa in advance in China, because it is easier to apply in advance considering the delivery and mailing time.

If you want to withdraw money, you can withdraw money at the airport when you get off the plane. UnionPay cards are available, and there are places to withdraw money at the airport. Don't take too much cash when traveling.

Travel preparation

Google Translate and Google Maps are both good travel tools.

You'd better put two copies of your passport in your suitcase and handbag. Also write down the contact information of the local consulate in China.

Travel essentials: socket adapter, sun protection and after-sun repair, straw hat, sunglasses, sun umbrella, mosquito repellent, standing medicine, diarrhea allergy, etc. Diving Sambo, long skirt or trousers (you need to wear clothes to go to church). Many of these need online shopping. It is also recommended to buy in advance and be prepared.

It is suggested to rent a Wi-Fi with unlimited traffic and no slowdown in China, which many people can enjoy. Taobao can be rented.

Google Translate and Google Maps are very good travel tools.

Travel Taboos in Malaysia

Malaysia is an Islamic country. Do as Romans do in Rome. It is best to know some customs and taboos in advance to avoid conflicts.

1, when interacting with each other, you must dress neatly. Don't use your left hand when communicating. Traditionally, riders think that their left hand is a symbol of impurity. You don't need to reach out to a lady and ask for a handshake. You don't just point your index finger at others. Don't touch your head. Don't touch others' backs except teachers and religious ceremonies.

Malays are forbidden to smoke and not to eat pork, corpses or animal blood. Rice, glutinous rice cake, etc. They are all staple foods, and their eating habit is to grab food with their right hands.

When visiting the church, it should be noted that non-Muslims need to take off their shoes before entering the church. When visiting the temple, please bring your own pants and long skirts.

Finally, let's talk about the five most famous islands in Kota Kinabalu. Each island has its own characteristics, so you can choose it yourself.

1, such as Shabi Island and Manugan Island.

The island closest to the land has convenient transportation and short journey. It takes only 10 minutes to get to the island by speedboat from the dock. Snorkeling and water swimming are suitable for all ages. Compared with Mermaid Island and Huantan Island, the sand on the beach of Shamanugan Island is soft and the water quality is clear. There is a wild monitor lizard museum on Manugen Island, which children can visit. Wild animals such as monitor lizards on the island and seafood lunch barbecue. The two islands can play water sports such as flying fish, banana boats and umbrella towing, and are also suitable for young friends.

Generally, people with convenient transportation near urban areas have many problems, so they can choose according to their own needs.

2. Prouty plus island

The traffic is relatively far, and the island of Dijia is 35 nautical miles away from Kota Kinabalu, and the round trip takes 2.5 hours. There are fewer tourists. You can appreciate the customs of the virgin forest, and you can see that the most distinctive animals such as macaques and monitor lizards are the volcanic mud bath in Zhaijia Island, which has a good cosmetic effect.

3.mantanani i.

The water quality is excellent, the traffic is a little far, and there are few people, which is suitable for young people to play. It's still 40 minutes by speedboat from the dock. Although rugged, the scenery is beautiful. This is one of the best snorkeling spots in Sabah, with a large coral colony.

There are few people, long sailing time on the water, no hospital on the island, and it is not suitable for the elderly and children. It is a good choice for young people to play. The beach island opened late, and it can be regarded as an original ecological island with very original scenery. The surrounding snorkeling spots have good water quality and are rich in corals and fish. There are few people around the beach island, so you can enjoy the real quiet and leisure travel time.
