Batu Caves Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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.

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.

Batu Caves
#malaysia
Located just a few minutes walk from the Batu Caves KTM station, Batu Caves is known for the gigantic Lord Murugan statue and the colourful 272 steps up to the cave and temple.
There were not a lot of people when we went around 8am in the morning. The weather is also not so hot, making the climb a bit easier. The cave is quite big and you can go up further to access another area of the cave.
There are also a lot of monkeys around the bottom of the cave but quite a number of the monkeys climbed up when we were going down from the cave.
🚶🏻♂️ Road to Heaven - Batu cave 🙊🙊
#malaysia
I am one of the people that still felt amazed from seeing the huge statue with my own eyes even after seeing so many posts in social media.
This place is not just full of visitors from all around the world, there are loads of monkeys and birds surrounding the area. If you wish, you could buy some bird feed for the birds or even fruits for the monkey. There are cave to explore once you reach the top!
There are ample parking spaces with RM2 / entry OR if you know the area, you can park at outside of shops opposite to the temple and with 3mins walk you can arrive here!
By the way, please keep yourself hydrated!

Kepong Botanic Gardens | FRIM
#malaysiatrip
This is such a wonderful park with a huge lake, beautiful trees and many types of flowers/plants to enjoy along the many trails here. It would be great if FRIM could improve the care of the plants around the park. Entrance fee is RM1 payable at the main entrance. (Ewallet available) and RM5 for car park. If you are lucky you can get free parking outside near the housing area. Waze Frim 2nd Entrance Garden of Eden to get here. Come early if possible it not bring an unbrella or wear a cap as the sun can get hot later in the day.

Sungai Tua Recreational Forest Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Best places for picnic near KL area
#newyearadventure #yearofrabbit #awesomepic #vianasjourney
Taman Eko Rimba, Sungai Tua. It’s quite a drive from KL, but it won’t take long than 1hour 30minutes. There are few places/ spot (along the same river) you can actually stop for picnic but I like this one especially because the view are much more stunning, water are clearer as it is a bit on the further up side, they do have few small hut for you to put your stuff and most have a bbq spot on the side. Bear in mind that you have to pay for entrance fee for each person and ‘sewa tapak’ for the whole group. It didnt cost much but less than 10 ringgit per person and also for the ‘tapak’
