20 17 Malaysia self-help tour guide

Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country with a tropical rain forest climate. Almost all of them believe in Islam and have a very long history. The economic development here once became the dragon thief of Asia, but it fell into the middle-income trap and has not recovered yet. The following is the 20 17 Malaysia self-help tour guide.

Last summer vacation, I took my son on a family trip to Malaysia. The maiden voyage caught up with the domestic flight delay. Because I have to catch an international flight, I feel very anxious and lose the freshness of flying for the first time. The stewardesses of China Southern Airlines are not only beautiful, but also have first-class service quality. She comforted me all the way, reported my arrival in the city, and reminded me how long it would take to get to Guangzhou. The flight was delayed for an hour.

Thanks to the thoughtful service of the stewardess of China Southern Airlines, I successfully boarded the plane to Penang, Malaysia. Next to me, a young Malaysian engineer, who I always thought was from China, acted like a gentleman all the way. He gave up his window seat to his son who wanted to see the scenery outside the window. He will also take the initiative to bring us water and blankets when eating. The plane will arrive in Penang in an hour. The young man talked to me in Mandarin, which is unique to Chinese in Malaysia. He asked me to guess whether he was Malay or China. Looking at his fair skin, I concluded that he came from China and Fujian. Because Malaysia is located at the equator, people should be darker. He told me that he was Malaysian and that he immigrated to Malaysia from his grandfather's generation. He is an engineer, who was sent by the company to work in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, but returned to China because he didn't adapt to the water and soil there. He speaks softly and sweetly. It was the first time I heard Malay in China, and it felt so beautiful. He talked frankly about his work in Malaysia and the life of China people. He said that Chinese are second-class citizens in Malaysia and do not enjoy equal rights with Malays.

After a four-hour flight, the plane arrived in Penang at 9 pm and got off the plane. The young man said goodbye to us. We went through the airport lobby, passed the border check and got our luggage at the baggage claim area. At this time, my husband is waiting to meet us at the entrance of the lobby. Out of the lobby, I saw the narrow streets and low buildings under the dim street lights, which seemed less ambitious than the second largest city. My husband says this area is the least prosperous area in Penang. A slightly darker and thinner Malaysian driver picked us up in a black car. This car is cool. The driver took us across a long bridge called Penang Bridge. The sea is too dark for us to see clearly. This car runs very fast. In the blink of an eye, we arrived at an apartment. My husband thanked the driver and took us into the apartment. The apartment is twenty-five stories high, so you have to punch in. This is a hall. There is also a vat with a fountain from the bottom up. There are several wooden chairs with backs, which seem to be for people to relax. The hall is large and the tile floor is bright, which can reflect people's figure. There is a small table in it. A property manager in a white uniform sat there with dark skin and a beard on his slender face. He nodded to us when he saw us passing by. There is a big door inside. You have to swipe your card to get in. We got on one of them and came to 15 floor. We got out of the elevator and entered a long corridor. Next to us, we saw a family with an iron gate with railings, a cabinet for shoes and a closed door.

I opened an iron gate, changed my shoes, opened a wooden door inside and entered a four-bedroom apartment. The living room is very big, with a dry table and a view of the sea. There is a sofa TV in the living room, a rectangular mahogany dining table, a kitchen, a refrigerator and kitchen cabinet next to the door, and a small door next to it. There are laundry rooms, washing machines, clothes hangers and clotheslines, and windows. Maximum 10 square meter, with bed and wardrobe, one room with writing desk, two bathrooms, all equipped with water heaters, and each room is air-conditioned. This is a room rented by my husband's company, and it feels more comfortable than home.

My son and I had a good sleep. The next morning, my husband drove me to a nearby breakfast shop called Bazaar for dinner. In fact, many people in China run food stalls. There are various commercial display boards on both sides, Fujian noodles, Taiwan Province chicken rice, fried noodles, Thai noodles, cold drinks, rice noodles, wonton and fried dough sticks. Dispel a little hot air in the morning for people who come to eat. We just sat down at an empty table. A young man with slightly darker skin, very thin. His hair grows in the middle of his head, but it looks like a mane on horseback. He asked us if we would like to have a drink in Malay. My husband understood what he said and asked us what to drink. My son wants orange juice, but my husband doesn't know how to translate orange juice into Malay. Sister China, who sells rice noodles next to her, rushed over to help us sell them to the young man. We are very grateful to this sister, so we ordered her rice noodles. There are fresh shrimps in it, which are salty and delicious. They drank a large glass of iced coffee with sugar. They are full of fragrance and energy all morning. My husband took us to the nearest supermarket in Yikang Province, which is no different from our domestic supermarkets, except that their vegetables are priced by kilograms. We pushed the shopping cart out of the checkout area with two wooden stools against the wall. You can sit and have a rest, and then there is a glass box in the middle with many coins written on it, which is convenient for charitable people. Malaysia is a religious country, and many people believe in Islam and Christianity, especially in the center of Penang. Muslims wearing white hats and white clothes can be seen everywhere, and Islamic churches can be seen everywhere. Listen to the locals, as long as you walk into the muslin, it's like a family. Your difficulty is everyone's difficulty. Everyone is proud of being kind to others. Later, I also went to the nearby Christian church and witnessed their religious activities. I'm surprised that religion has such a strong cohesion. Everyone sings and prays quietly and seriously, and strictly follows the instructions of the priest. Looking at Jesus crucified, I think he is really great. So many people drive over after work and dinner. There are so many children here. Because it's all in English, I can't understand a word, but the hymn is very nice, and the candles lit by everyone are very warm. The priest sent me a list of church activities, with how much money to donate for each activity and what souvenirs the church can give.

The apartment we live in is called Wellesley, which means Ocean Apartment. You can see the west coast from anywhere in the apartment. It takes five minutes to drive to the pier and fifteen minutes to Penang Island, which is the center of Penang. The ferry is very big, with three floors, cars and motorcycles below and people in the middle.

There are some machines on the top floor, and the ferry is the cheapest. A round trip only needs RM 1.2, which is less than RMB in 2 yuan. This is the quickest way to get from Beihai to Penang, but it's too far around Da Qiao Road in Penang.

But waiting for the ferry also needs patience. The ferry has a large capacity, with more than 300 people on board, no problem. It's basically a half-hour round trip. Ferry is an indispensable means of transportation in Penang.

The apartment is in the south of India, and the residents are mostly Indians, next to Malays. Indians live in low concrete buildings. On the first floor of the apartment, there are many breakfast spots and some sporadic vendors who buy food and sell fish and fruit. There is a shop that makes flying cakes, and we often go there. Their flying cakes are slightly sweet, as thin as paper, and their fragrance is hard to chew. A cake is less than two yuan, which is delicious. If it is wrapped, Indian girls will wrap it in oiled paper and then wrap it in newspapers. Finally, I will give you a big bag of curry sauce. I can't finish it several times, so come back with a smile. We often come here to buy fresh beef and fish and shrimp. My husband doesn't ask people how much a catty is, nor does he look at the weighing. He will give you as much as they say. My husband said not to worry. Allah and Allah are watching them.

Walk from India to the ocean apartment where we live, passing through the Malay residential area. The houses where Malays live are all low iron houses with small areas and small windows. Some houses have two floors with clothes hanging on them. A shed extends under the eaves, which is the roof of the yard. There is no courtyard wall.

Sometimes you can see the indoor carpet through the window. People sit on the floor. Everyone has a range hood, and some even have two. Cars in Malaysia are very cheap and are the main means of transportation. Malays pray five days a day, and at five o'clock in the morning in their apartment, their melodious and touching prayers come out. My husband said that Malay workers in the factory would stop working during prayer time, and God was with them every day.

Malaysia was once a British colony, leaving behind many British buildings. In Penang, not far from the pier, there is a fort left by the British, with three cannons on it, facing the Penang Sea, and next to it is a big square.

Not far away stands a bell tower whose height exceeds 10 meter. Many tourists pay tribute to it. The shopping malls around here are all high-end, and even some food stalls are exquisite and distinctive. Many foreigners like to eat here under the sea breeze.

We go to Penang the most. My son likes KFC here and I like sushi here. The shopping malls here are connected with each other, and we can enjoy delicious food from all over the world. We ate Malaysian New Year's Eve dinner, Thai food, hot dogs, bak Kut teh, paella and Satay in Taiwan Province Province.

The most unforgettable thing is bak Kut teh. It tastes special, but it tastes comfortable. It is said that it was created by China people who came to Malaysia that year, just to adapt to the local climate, and it contains many Chinese medicines for regulating the body.

Walking in Georgetown, which is full of vivid murals, those exaggerated arts also make us seem to have returned to childhood. We also took photos with murals and walked on the streets of India with wild and cheerful music. We seem to be in the Indian countryside, enjoying Indian goods and feeling Indian culture. We also bought a wreath to hang around our necks. Indian women's clothes are so beautiful. If they are not too expensive, I really want to buy one for myself.

The national park shows us the virgin forest, with developed roots exposed outside the surface and dense trees soaring around the towering trees that block the sun. Where there are streams, there are lizards.

Sometimes when there is no road, you have to climb up and down the roots to see the golden beach below. We drank coconut milk and watched foreigners surf by speedboat. Their madness complements the warm sunshine on this golden beach.

In awe of the Buddha, we walked into the reclining Buddha Temple and the Damikalamamen Temple. They are on both sides of an alley, and the doorman doesn't charge. We went directly into the temple, where the buildings were resplendent and beautifully carved. The reclining Buddha Temple is a Buddhist temple in Thailand.

The temple is dedicated to the third largest indoor reclining Buddha in the world, with a total length of 33 meters. It lies quietly in the main hall of the temple. Lying on the Buddha, wearing a golden cassock, lying with his feet to the right, kindly watching the tourists enter the main hall.

There are other Buddha statues and eighteen arhats around the reclining Buddha, and some statues of Thai monks are also covered with gold foil. In addition, the reclining Buddha platform also has a place for believers to place their ashes. The urn in the reclining Buddha is considered to be the cleanest place.

This is a Buddhist temple in Dharmikarama, Myanmar. The pagoda of Dharmikarama Burmese temple is square. Here is a 27-meter-high Buddha of Sakyamuni. The Buddha statues are vividly carved and brightly colored.

To come to Malaysia, the surname Joe is a must. This is Penang's business card. The surname bridge is a general term for many bridges. 18 At the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2009, the surname bridge was once a prosperous port, which provided a lot of job opportunities for the influx of immigrants.

Clan communities in China soon developed near the pier, and local people built floating houses and high-rise houses along the coast. The bottom is supported by piles, and the wooden board is paved as a "bridge" as a village street, which is connected with the land.

There are many bridges with surnames. Each bridge belongs to a surname, and each bridge is mainly inhabited by surnames and clans. These docks and residential areas have gradually become today's surname bridges, like small docks with rows of houses.

With the passage of time, some trestles are out of date, but rows of wooden houses with drainage record the footprints of our ancestors and become a unique tourist attraction in Penang, which is a must-see place for tourists to come to Penang.

Isn't this ship very distinctive?

Today, the well-preserved Qiaozhou surname is inhabited by about 70 families, and it is also the location of the film "First Love Red Bean Ice", which tells the story of a group of young people growing up in a small village in Malaysia in the early 1990s.

After 20 years, the glass marbles of childhood may no longer exist, but the growing memories of red bean ice, old shops and the generation at that time are perfectly integrated with the simplicity of surname bridge.

The residents here live a simple life. Now some residents of the older generation still make a living by fishing, while most young people have moved to other places to live.

Some people say that every stake and rope of the surname bridge is a witness of history, and the faint smell of Shanghai water in the roadway records the struggle and tenacity of several generations of overseas Chinese in a foreign land.

We also rented a car to travel in Langkawi, a small island near Thailand in the north of Penang. Quiet harbor, strange black sand beach, large mangroves make people linger, and there are many luxury shops integrating leisure and entertainment. Beautiful scenery, exquisite and unique decoration and thoughtful service are refreshing. There are few local Chinese, so it is quite inconvenient for them not to speak English.

It's been a year since I left Malaysia. I really want to hear the unique cheerful tone of Malays. I really want to see the smell of Baku Kut Teh and Indian flying cakes again. I really want to see the golden beaches, the stinking Maoshan distilled lotus, the salted bean syrup and Penang again. I don't know when I can see you again.
