Sabah, Malaysia travel guide

Sabah, Malaysia is the preferred destination for many travelers. Everyone is looking forward to bathing in the sunshine of the sea and beach here. The water quality in Sabah is crystal clear, the beaches here are soft and delicate, and all kinds of food are dazzling. This is a good tourist destination.

visa

Malaysia is not a visa-free country, but its unique Entri is very convenient, with low cost and fast visa issuance, but there are corresponding restrictions on the airport. You can apply at the Malaysia window.

Or find a Taobao agent, which is more convenient. It can be expedited or handled without a ticket. The price is tens of dollars higher. Generally speaking, it takes 1-3 days to check out. After checking out, you can print the confirmation form to clear Malaysia.

climate

Kota Kinabalu and Semporna have tropical climates, and the average annual temperature in summer is 23-3 1 degree. Although it is located in the tropics, it is cooler in the morning and evening, and there are not many mosquitoes, but it is sunny during the day. April-September is the dry season, and the rest is the rainy season. Although the dry season is more suitable for traveling, the rain here is usually showers and will clear up soon, so it doesn't need much. 165438+1October-February is the rainy season. Even if you travel to Sabah in the non-rainy season, you need to bring rain gear or umbrella. Because of the terrain, Shenshan National Park often encounters thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Although Sabah is located in the hurricane zone, it is hardly disturbed by typhoons.

Optimal travel time

Generally speaking, Sabah's climate is suitable for year-round tourism. It is worth noting that in May, different celebrations will be held throughout the month. Sabah's climate is like summer all year round, with no obvious rainy season and dry season, belonging to tropical climate. In the afternoon, occasional showers, tropical rain or showers make the air here particularly fresh and the tropical rain forest greener. So I suggest you bring more summer clothes. But visitors to Shenshan Park (especially climbers) must bring warm clothes and rain gear to keep out the cold and moisture.

traffic

The center of Uber-Kota Kinabalu is very small, and it takes half an hour to walk to the whole city. You can call Uber a little further away. Download the international version of Uber, and you can directly deduct money by binding a credit card. Of course, you can also pay cash.

Taxi-not recommended, because Kota Kinabalu taxi has no watch, the price is 2-3 times that of Uber, and there is basically no air conditioning, so the ride experience is not very good.

Rent a car-because the driving habits are contrary to those in China, and there are many Kota Kinabalu paths and roads around the island, and the road conditions are complicated, it is not recommended to rent a car yourself.

Motorcycle rental-You can rent a motorcycle for five hours at RM 20 from GGRENTAMOTOBIKE.

Charter car-if you want to go to a remote place, charter car is a good way. One-day tour packages on Taobao are all in the form of chartered cars. Even if you decide which scenic spots to visit temporarily, there are many regular travel agencies in the local area to consult.

money

Malaysia uses ringgit 1 RMB 1.7 as the local currency.

Phone card/phone card

Common Malay calling cards are Hotlink, Digi and Celcom, and the price difference is not big, mainly depending on the number of days and traffic. You can buy it in Taobao in advance or get off the plane and buy it locally. It is not recommended that you buy Hotlink, because the signal is really not very good.

Refund of tax

After shopping in the mall, bring trophies, invoices and passports to the designated tax refund point in the mall to collect the form. After arriving at Kota Kinabalu International Airport, find the customs on the far left and show stolen goods, invoices, passports and forms. After customs inspection, they will stamp the form and then go to CIMB Bank for tax refund.

Necessity

Sabah is an island resort. Please bring summer clothes, sunglasses, umbrellas, sandals, sun protection equipment and supplies, swimsuits, etc. Shenshan is located at a high altitude and the weather is cold. You can prepare a warm coat and a pair of light casual shoes. You can bring your own snorkeling equipment to go snorkeling in outlying islands.
