I want to go to Malaysia for a free trip during the Spring Festival. I hope my friends will tell me the details in detail.

the real charm of Malaysia goes far beyond Kuala Lumpur. The so-called Xinmatai Tour organized by domestic travel agencies, like McDonald's fast food culture, makes travelers miss the surprises and fun hidden behind places of interest. If you go deep into the local society, you will find that Malaysia is completely different from other Southeast Asian countries. Self-help travel to Malaysia is also very easy and fast, which is beyond many people's imagination. There are many Chinese in the local area, and Mandarin and Cantonese can be used universally, which is very suitable for novices who are going abroad for the first time and trying to travel by themselves with backpacks. Even if you don't have a good foreign language foundation and foreign travel experience, you can have a good time and be safe as long as you plan well. These benefits from Malaysia's rich humanities, natural scenery, low consumption and many overseas Chinese. You can take the bus one stop at a time, or simply rent a car and drive. Malaysia has a magical ability to soothe your senses, where the order is orderly and the scenery is ever-changing-from extremely beautiful islands and mountains to verdant forests and tropical jungles everywhere, most residents live a leisurely life. Get rid of the noise and noise in other parts of Southeast Asia and come here. You can take a deep breath first, then go to ancient colonial towns (such as Malacca) to stroll among those well-preserved buildings, or go deep into the dense virgin forests of Sarawak, or have a big meal in the food courts where all kinds of food are available.

Don't miss it

1. Go to the creaking long suspension bridge in Taman Negara National Park-you should try to keep a good balance

1. Special reminder

Malaysia has a stable political situation and good social and economic development. It is convenient and safe to travel, study, work and live in Malaysia. However, judging from the problems of China citizens in Malaysia in recent years and the information published by Malaysian media, we should pay special attention to the following matters: (1) Malicious cases such as horse rape, armed robbery and murder occur from time to time. For tourists in China, motorcycle robbery, armed robbery, and taxi drivers' violent charging of high fares for passengers are more prominent. China citizens should pay attention to self-protection when they come to Malaysia. In case of emergency, they can report to the police or contact our embassy or consulate in Malaysia.

(2) The Social Visa)3 for Malaysia is valid for 3 days and generally cannot be extended. Those who fail to leave the country after the deadline will face imprisonment or severe economic punishment. If the immigrants fail to leave the country on time due to special reasons, they should go to the Malaysian Immigration Bureau to apply for visa extension, and do not entrust others to do so to avoid being deceived.

(3) Ordinary visas for Malaysia are mainly issued to tourists, businessmen and relatives in Malaysia. It is illegal to work and sell small commodities in Malaysia with ordinary visas, and once found, sanctions will be imposed.

(4) It is best for people going to Malaysia to bring about 1, US dollars in cash or provide a list of companies or people who can pay in Malaysia. Malaysian immigration officials are strict in examining China tourists, especially female individual travelers under the age of 3. If immigrants come and go to Malaysia many times in a short period of time, or fail to provide credible reasons for coming to Malaysia, they are likely to be repatriated by the original plane.

II. Visas, Entry and Customs

China citizens should obtain visas abroad. If they have not obtained visas, individual tourists from China who enter Malaysia from Thailand or Singapore can apply for port visas at the port of entry. China's tour group to Malaysia can apply for a group visa at the port, but Malaysia's reception of travel agencies must be authorized by the Malaysian Immigration Bureau in advance and put on record. In order to encourage tourism, passengers who fly to Tioman Island in Mapengheng via a third country can apply for a visa on arrival if they can produce a valid return ticket. The types of visas in Malaysia are mainly divided into:

(1) social visa. Issued to China citizens for tourism, visiting relatives and friends and business activities. The validity period is three months and the stay period is 3 days. Ordinary visas cannot be extended, unless they can't return to China in time due to health reasons or flight problems, they can be extended to the immigration office with a letter of proof issued by the relevant hospital and airline.

(2) Work and student visas. To work or study in Malaysia, a Malaysian company or school must first apply to the Immigration Bureau. After being approved, the Malaysian Immigration Bureau will notify the embassies and consulates in the applicant's area to issue ordinary visas. After the relevant personnel come to Malaysia, they will go to the immigration department to change into the corresponding types of long-term visas. For those who study at the University of Malaysia, their long-term visas are usually applied by the school to the headquarters of the Immigration Bureau. For those who study at high school or below, they should apply to the immigration department of their state.

(3) visiting relatives visa. Visiting relatives in Malaysia can last up to 6 months. Generally, relatives who work, study and live in Malaysia apply to the Malaysian Immigration Bureau in advance, or they can change their visas after arriving in Malaysia with an ordinary visa. There are many documents required to apply for this kind of visa, such as proof of kinship, proof of work, study and income in Malaysia, etc.

Third, the security situation and public security situation

The public security situation in Malaysia is relatively safe, but in recent years, the social unrest and public security situation have declined. The Malaysian government attaches great importance to this and is strengthening governance. However, it is still some time before social peace and worry-free travel. Therefore, when China citizens come to Malaysia, they should pay attention to self-protection, take good care of their personal belongings and important documents, and don't show their money in public to prevent accidents.

(1) beware of motorcycle riders grabbing bags. Malaysia has a considerable number of motorcycles. Motorcycles don't have special lanes, and they shuttle between cars at a very fast speed. Tourists walking on the sidewalk are not careful, and their handbags or shoulder bags may be plundered by lawless elements. Because of the high speed and strength of looting, tourists are prone to danger. It is suggested that visitors from Malaysia should try not to use long bags when walking in public places. When walking, put the bags on the far side of the road and choose lots with more people to pass.

(2) Don't trust others easily. Passengers who come to Malaysia with ordinary visas should not believe in the temptation of local illegal agents and stay in Malaysia illegally to find a job. According to Malaysian law, ordinary visa holders are not allowed to work in Malaysia. Once they are discovered by the police, they may be arrested and sent to prison or detention camp, leaving them with no job, unable to return home, wasting a lot of agency fees and living in Malaysia.

(3) Avoid traveling to remote places. It's best to travel together. When passing through underground passages, garages, high-rise stairs or overpasses with few people, you should be alert and pay attention to pedestrians around you to avoid distress and helplessness.

(4) properly manage personal travel documents and don't give your passport to others for safekeeping. It is best to carry valuables scattered.

(5) Enhance the awareness of self-protection, be calm and deal with problems flexibly and tactfully. If there is an accident, you should report it to the police station at the first time or try to contact the embassy or consulate if you can save yourself.

IV. Common Diseases and Medical Conditions

Malaysia has a tropical climate, so travelers should pay attention to food hygiene besides sun protection, otherwise they are prone to diarrhea and digestive tract diseases. There are many mosquitoes. When traveling, passengers can wear anti-drug or light and breathable trousers to prevent mosquito bites. Otherwise, the chances of getting malaria and dengue fever are relatively high. Passengers coming to Malaysia should bring some medicines for treating tropical diseases, such as fever, diarrhea, swelling and pain, to meet urgent needs. All states in Malaysia have state hospitals and private hospitals, and clinics are also common. Medical personnel are of high quality and advanced equipment. In case of persistent high fever and diarrhea, you should seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying the illness and bringing serious consequences. The treatment cost of foreign citizens in Malaysia is slightly higher than that of Malaysian citizens, but it is not expensive.

Malaysian insurance companies generally do not provide insurance for short-term visitors. It is best for passengers to take out relevant travel insurance in China to prevent accidents.

V. Local customs and regulations

Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy country, mainly composed of Malay, Chinese and Indian ethnic groups. More than 9% Malays believe in Islam, Chinese believe in Buddhism and Taoism, while Indians believe in Hinduism. The Malaysian Constitution clearly stipulates that Islam is the official religion of Malaysia. Muslims in Malaysia are mostly Sunnis. The customs and habits of Chinese and Indians are basically the same as those of their native countries. Malay customs and habits are very unique.

(1) Addressing Malays

There is no fixed surname, so they are not addressed by their surnames. Malay names can be divided into two parts. The first part is their names, separated by "bin" or "binti", which is sometimes omitted. The second part is their father's name. Man: Use "bin" in the middle, and "binti" (Bindi) in the lady.

in informal situations, the more intimate names for the younger generation are Adik or dik (pronounced Adik or Dish), which means brother or sister, and the names can be omitted. For older men, it can be called pakkik (pronounced ba qi), which means uncle, and for women, Makcik (pronounced ma qi), which means aunt.

In daily situations, Encik (sound: En Jie) is used to address men, meaning Mr. So-and-so, and Cik (sound: Jie) is used to address women, meaning Ms. So-and-so.

in more formal occasions, you can use Puan (end) to address men, and Pu 'an (cloth bend) to address women. In addition, people who have titles can directly address their titles or add their names to them. Such as Datuk and Tan Sri.

(II) Meeting Ceremony

The traditional Malay meeting ceremony is very unique. When they meet, they will hold each other's hands with both hands and rub them against each other, and then move their right hands to the heart. For women who are not familiar with each other, you should not casually reach out and ask for a handshake. Men should nod or bow slightly to women and take the initiative to extend oral greetings. But now Western-style handshake is the most common greeting in Malaysia, which can be used by Malays, Chinese or Indians.

(3) Dining

Malays avoid eating pork and drinking alcohol. When dining in a Malay restaurant, if you see a big kettle on the dining table, don't mistake it for a teapot with drinking water. In fact, the water in it is used for washing hands. Generally, Malays grab food with their right hands, so washing hands before and after meals is the etiquette at the Malay table.

(4) Visit

In Malaysia, unless the host allows, you must take off your shoes before you go to the home of Malays, Chinese or Indians. When visiting a Malay family, if the host arranges to sit on the mat on the floor, men should sit cross-legged, while women should sit with their legs tilted to the left.

(5) Dress

The traditional Malay dresses for men and women are: the men are collarless shirts, trousers, short sarong around their waists, a "Song Gu" bonnet and leather shoes. Ladies' dresses are also tops and sarongs, which are as wide as robes and are covered with monochromatic bright scarves. In Malaysia, except for members of the royal family, people generally don't wear yellow clothes. At present, migrant workers generally wear light suits for convenience in work, and only wear traditional clothes at home after work or when visiting relatives and friends or on major festivals. In various formal occasions, men can wear long-sleeved Buddy shirts in addition to national costumes or suits. Badi shirt is a kind of long-sleeved shirt made of batik cloth, which is thin and cool. Now it has gradually replaced the traditional Malay dress and become Malaysia's "national costume".

(6) Visit the mosque

Malay Muslims are generally devout and pray five times a day. Mosque is a place where Muslims hold religious ceremonies. When opening to the outside world, women should wear robes and headscarves, otherwise they will be rejected. When visiting a mosque, you must dress neatly. Women are not allowed to wear clothes that show their arms or legs. You must take off your shoes before entering the tour.

(7) Other taboos or etiquette

You should not point at people with your index finger, but only use your thumb to indicate the direction. Don't use your left hand when greeting, shaking hands, giving gifts or receiving things with Malays. It is disrespectful to them to pick up or say hello with your left hand. Malays are afraid of others touching their heads. No one can touch others' heads at will except teachers or religious ceremonies. Don't show the soles of your feet in front of others. It's an insult to point them at others.

VI. Price and Supply

The Malaysian currency unit, the Ringgit (RM), is commonly known as Malaysian ringgit. One dollar ≈ RM 3.7. Airports, restaurants and shopping centers all have foreign currency exchange centers, and RMB can be converted into ringgit. Credit cards are widely accepted, but at present, domestic UnionPay cards cannot be consumed or withdrawn in Malaysia. Malaysia has a complete supply of materials, and the price level is higher than that of China, especially the daily necessities are twice as high as that of China, but the brand-name products are cheaper than that of China.

during your trip to Malaysia, if you are in urgent need of remittances from relatives and friends at home, you can remit the money to Malaysia through the Western Union service of the domestic Post Office, and go to local banks (RHB Bank and Bumiputra Commerce Bank) or post office to withdraw money with your valid personal certificate, remittance amount and remittance control number.

note: remittance limit is based on Malaysian payment limit and China.
