Ulu Kinta Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Malaysia Visa-Free | 7 Days 6 Nights Off-the-Beaten-Path Itinerary Guide

Just got back from Malaysia, took an unusual off-the-beaten-path route, traveling north from Malacca to Penang, exploring and wandering along the way. Besides the cities with Southeast Asian charm, there was also the freedom of durian orchards. This visa-free country is really too tempting. Sharing a less-traveled route suitable for the whole family. · D1: Shanghai - Kuala Lumpur - Malacca D2: Malacca - Broga Orchard Hill (Durian Orchard) - Kuala Lumpur D3: Batu Caves - Ipoh Sunway Lost World of Tambun - Ipoh D4: Ipoh - Taiping Lake Gardens - Kuala Kurau - Penang D5: Penang Day Tour D6: Penang - Kuala Lumpur D7: Kuala Lumpur - Sepang HL Dragon Fruit Farm - Kuala Lumpur Airport - Shanghai · Penang: Compared to Kuala Lumpur, I prefer the world heritage site of Penang, which features a mix of Southeast Asian, Muslim, Chinese, and Indian architecture. The strong cultural atmosphere, interesting graffiti in the alleys, and the dazzling markets are all reasons why I like this old city. Although there are quite a few Michelin-starred restaurants in Penang, I still recommend saving some room in your stomach for the night market snacks! Malacca: Also a world heritage site, Malacca is a bit more colorful. After visiting the Baba-Nyonya Heritage Museum, I finally understood the origins of the Peranakans and learned more about the history of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas. Ipoh: Malaysia's little Guilin, a small town in the mountains, with lots of delicious food. Saw a Malayan tapir at the Sunway Lost World of Tambun in Ipoh! So cute~ Must Eat Durian: How can you come to Malaysia and not eat durian! The durians in Kuala Lumpur, the dragon fruits in Sepang, and the pomelos in Ipoh are all delicacies not to be missed~ Tips: 1. Malaysia is visa-free, with no time difference from China, and flights to Kuala Lumpur are very convenient. 2. There are super many wild animals, hornbills and monkeys can be seen in the parks. Please do not feed them randomly to protect the ecology.

Lost World of Tambun Theme Park

A nice theme park suitable children of all ages. It’s value for money as you have access to the water theme park and also the rest of the rides and mini zoo. You can easily spend a full day there! They are very strict in food items or even personal water bottle and it’s not allow in the theme park. Try to keep it light and easy as you can easily get food and drinks within the theme park. Ample parking available right outside the park, so for those who drive need not worry. Overall we had a great time there.#perak #sunway #mymymemories
