Malaysia is a scenic and multicultural country with a rich natural landscape and a rich history. Whether it's food, culture, or economic development, Malaysia is unique.
First of all, a visa is the first step to travel to Malaysia. There are sticker visas and electronic visas in Malaysia, and it is recommended to choose an electronic visa, which is convenient and fast to apply. The visa fee is around 280 RMB, while Malaysia's currency is the ringgit, which has an exchange rate of about 1:1 with the Chinese yuan5。It is advisable not to exchange currency at the airport, as the exchange rate is better for swiping a card or withdrawing cash directly.
Secondly, Malaysia is a country known for its multicultural and natural landscapes. In addition to the beautiful tropical islands and rainforests, there are also stunning natural scenery such as karst landscapes. Take a dip in Redang Island with crystal clear waters, and be lucky enough to see baby sharks and clownfish while snorkeling. In addition, the Penang Botanic Gardens is also an interesting place to see many lizards and monkeys. The street scenes of Malacca and Penang are also very interesting, the arcades are similar to Shantou and Jiangmen, but they are better preserved and the area is larger.
Let's talk about the ethnic makeup of Malaysia. There are mainly Chinese, Malays, Indians, and some indigenous minorities in East Malaysia. The harmonious coexistence of different ethnic groups has brought about amazing cultural diversity. In Malaysia, there are many Chinese, their Mandarin is generally very good, and they are very friendly to Chinese tourists. During my travels, I met many warm and friendly Malaysian Chinese, who helped us to check in early, exchange for cash, and even act as drivers, chatting with them was very interesting and made me feel a strong human touch.
In addition, Malaysia is also relatively excellent in terms of infrastructure development, economic and social development. It is understood that Malaysia's Human Development Index (HDI) in 2022 reached a staggering 0803, and the per capita GDP is also more than ten thousand dollars. And here, it's all transparent, don't worry about being ripped off or forced to sell goods, everything is done according to the rules, very clear and transparent.
In addition, Malaysia has a rich historical and cultural heritage. Historically, the colonial rule of the Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch, and British has left behind a rich and colorful cultural heritage. The Xi culture, food and architecture here are very intimate, and there is not much of an overseas strangeness. At the same time, Malaysia has been a maritime hub since ancient times, undertaking the transit of various commodities in ancient China, ancient India, Arabia and Europe, and the commodity economy is very developed, especially the large shopping malls and shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur, which are quite good.
Food is one of Malaysia's specialties. The Chinese "went to the South Seas" and brought a lot of delicacies. Whether it is a roadside stall or a restaurant, you can taste many delicious dishes, even Indian, Malay, Thai, Cantonese and so on. In addition, Malaysia is also rich in seafood ingredients and tropical products, and it is definitely a gastronomic paradise. Moreover, prices are surprisingly inexpensive, and the price level in most cities is comparable to that of China's second- and third-tier cities. The hotel is also very cost-effective, more than 200 yuan can live in a very clean and comfortable hotel. Malaysia, a country full of diverse cultures and traditions. This is the only country in the world other than China where you can travel entirely in Chinese and communicate with locals. Although many of the Chinese in Malaysia are the Nth generation, the inheritance and preservation of Chinese culture is quite good, and many of the cultural heritage of Malaysia is difficult for European and American tourists to understand and understand, but Chinese to ensure that they can empathize with it, and even use Chinese to mingle with the locals.
There are many "fusion dishes" in Malaysia that suit the taste of Chinese, although there are also Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but Malaysia is bigger and has more tricks, and European and American tourists will not experience this blessing. Many Malaysian Chinese seem to have the best of both Chinese culture and European and American culture, which is very surprising. At the same time, I can also see that the Chinese in Malaysia are very interesting about the inheritance of tradition, and I can also understand the hard work of the Chinese people who work hard to survive.
European and American tourists are exempt from visas, but for Chinese tourists, tourist visas to Malaysia are also easy to obtain. The pace of life here is generally very slow, because it is tireless, so it is rare to see people who are very angry, because of the religious country, there are many Chinese, there are no extremists, and it is very safe. Malaysia's ethnic culture is diverse, and no one will think you are a foreigner when walking on the street because there are many Chinese people.
However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in Malaysia's infrastructure and transportation. Buses can't use cash, cars on the road drive fast, vehicle exhaust smells very strong, and the smog problem is more serious. In addition, there are many places where there are no sidewalks, and pedestrians feel unsafe walking on the road. But Malaysia also has many famous attractions such as KLCC (Petronas Twin Towers), *market, Petaling Street, P**ilion, mosques, Merdeka Square, Museum of Islamic Art, etc., which are all worth visiting for tourists.
When I walked around Kuala Lumpur, I found that most of the service staff were men, and there were very few female service staff. This came as a bit of a surprise to me, as in other countries there are usually more female attendants. However, despite the imbalance in the gender ratio of service personnel, the quality of service and ** are very affordable.
Overall, Malaysia is a country full of charm and charm. It blends the essence of Chinese culture and European and American culture, which is a pleasant surprise. Although there are some transportation and infrastructure issues, these shortcomings do not affect the love of tourists for the rich culture and beautiful scenery of Malaysia. It is hoped that Malaysia will be able to improve its infrastructure and environmental protection in the future, and become a more livable and tourist-friendly country.
