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!

Kuala Lumpur International Airport Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
KLIA arrival food
#kualalumpur super budget lunch/dinner at the airport. Arrived quite late in the afternoon, I haven't had any meal yet so decided to eat at airport before heading out. Chance upon this local food stall where I saw many sit down here either to drink coffee or for a meal.
Turn out to be very affordable meal indeed. For the price of less than RM 15, I get my nasi lemak and huge cup of coffee. I love how generous they are in the portion.
If you need quick lunch/dinner fix, do head on to this place!

Starbucks @ KLIA 1
#wheretogo for a good coffee & meal in Terminal 1 Kuala Lumpur International Airport. It's quite hidden behind but you will know there's starbucks if your eyes is sharp enough.
Like a real cafe setting, this place is nicely decorated and there is a section where we can see parked airplane.
Price of the food and beverages here is pretty standard. I got mac & cheese for RM 21.95 (SG $6+), not bad. Taste like the one in Singapore 7 eleven.

KLIA: Gateway to Global Horizons
#happymalaysiaday
In Kuala Lumpur's embrace, a gateway unfolds,
International Airport, where stories are told.
A door to the world, wide and inviting,
Welcoming travelers with hearts alighting.
Skies stretch above, a canvas so grand,
KLIA, the portal to destinations unplanned.
Echoes of languages, a global symphony,
Where cultures converge, a harmonious melody.
Wings of steel, birds of the sky,
In KLIA, they gracefully fly.
A bustling nexus of journeys untold,
A kaleidoscope of stories to unfold.
Visitors arrive with dreams on their sleeve,
KLIA, the city's embrace, never to deceive.
A mosaic of faces, a myriad of tales,
In this vibrant gateway where adventure prevails.
Amidst the terminals, a dance of connection,
A fusion of cultures, a global reflection.
Kuala Lumpur's heart, beats in the air,
In KLIA's halls, a welcome so rare.
Through the doors of opportunity wide,
Visitors step with wonder and pride.
Kuala Lumpur International, a beacon so bright,
Guiding the world through day and night.
Skybound Tranquility: Lounge Serenity Suite
#wheretogo
Location: Travel Club Lounge
Klia Satelite A Building, Klia Departure, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, 64000 Sepang, Selangor
In KLIA's embrace, where travelers unite,
I find solace and joy in the Lounge's soft light.
Satellite Terminal, a haven of grace,
Where I savor each moment in this comforting space.
Ambiance, a symphony of tranquil delight,
Whispers of journeys in the soft evening light.
The Travel Club Lounge, a sanctuary of reprieve,
Where time slows down, and worries take leave.
With laptop in hand, I work with delight,
Surrounded by elegance, a traveler's respite.
A feast for my senses, the food so divine,
In each delectable bite, a taste of the sublime.
Oh, Travel Club Lounge, you enchanting abode,
Where productivity thrives and relaxation is stowed.
Yet, a humble suggestion, a wish to implore,
Shower facilities, a touch to adore.
In this oasis aloft, where dreams take to flight,
I linger a while, in the Lounge's warm light.
With gratitude in heart, and a smile on my face,
KLIA's Travel Club Lounge, my serene resting place.

Weekend spend with family
Spending time on the weekend with family is one of the best ways to spend your week. Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding area are overflowing with interesting places to do fun and healthy activities.
Although there are many theme parks and outdoor activities to do in Kuala Lumpur, for us, nothing compares to the experience of visiting Zoo Negara with your whole family.
Zoo Negara places great emphasis on convenience for those who visit. There are various facilities for families at Zoo Negara such as lockers available at the ticket counter. The rental fee is RM2 for each locker.
#zoonegara #nationalzoo #familytrip
Well worth visit for kids! 🐯
I have great fun day with kids in this cool place. You feel like observer while visit the animals. The zoo has provided plenty information about the animals in every stop. While having fun, it’s good for the kids to gain more knowledge about the animals thing.
Location 🗺️ : The National Zoo is situated at Ampang, Selangor which is 13 km from the centre of Kuala Lumpur.
Rating ⭐️: 4 out 5

Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa - Theme Park Hotel
Are you going to sunway Lagoon Theme Park to play? Don't miss the opportunity to stay in this hotel. It's the best theme park hotel for me. This hotel is under the Sunway Group. Although it has been there for many years, the hotel is still maintained very well. The famous Gordon Ramsay restaurant is also in this hotel. If your budget is limited, you can also prefer to stay at Sunway Pyramid Hotel or Sunway Lagoon Hotel. Both are very good and with Sunway Lagoon Theme Park view, besides, these all hotels are linked to Sunway Pyramid shopping mall.
