Although in the past, one or two words, such as the year of culture and the year of art, popped up in front of our eyes every year, this year is the first time that various themes meet so densely.
27 is the year of tourism in Malaysia. Malaysia has selected 5 celebration projects from more than 2 large-scale events, and sincerely invites China tourists.
27 is the year of China-Sri Lanka friendship.
The friendship that has a long history since more than 2, years ago makes us look curiously at the "Gem Country" with a cadence name.
similarly, 27 was also the year of Spain in China. Although the European tour is mainly concentrated in these countries in Western Europe, Spain, with its passionate flamenco dance, keeps our pace.
For tourists, these countries are just like "familiar strangers". Although they are familiar with each other, they only pay attention to them and lack amazing performance. Therefore, in this issue, we will tell you that the most detailed and intimate activity guides of these three countries in the theme year will certainly not be lacking, and the original travel recommendations of local tourism experts will not be lacking.
Because of the theme year, we will see rare activities on weekdays, hear songs and laughter, face the friendly smiles of local people towards China tourists, and get new convenience and preferential treatment.
Now, the tourism in these three countries, together with the theme year, is like a magnetic field, holding our eyes tightly. It brings excitement, but it is not just the dull journey of tourists that is broken.
old love turns into new love. Malaysia
Tourism is like love. The first time is always unforgettable, such as Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia. In 27, because of the Malaysia Tourism Year, Malaysia made its debut again. Throughout the year, Malaysia was connected by festivals, with excitement and celebration, and greeted guests everywhere with smiles.
annual highlights soak happiness with festivals
Now Malaysia is packed with all kinds of lively activities, and festivals soak up the joy of the tourism year.
at the same time, it also makes our hands and feet busy and our eyes colorful.
Festivals never stop: In May, the colorful Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur was grandly staged. In June, Penang, the city with the largest number of Malay Chinese, will hold the international dragon boat race with the most China flavor. In July, the World Rainforest Music Festival opened in Sarawak. In August, in Pucheng, bright fireworks will shine on the night sky here; In genting highlands, the World Lion Dance Championship will be held. In September, well-trained troops from all over the world lined up in Kuala Lumpur to participate in the international body painting performance. In December, there will be an international street performance festival in Kuala Lumpur. In addition, March and December are shopping carnivals in Malaysia.
the original juice recommends enjoying the rainforest and smiling at the island
Exit guide: Zheng Qixian, Tourism Counselor of Malaysian Embassy
Malaysia is sunny, the island is beautiful and all kinds of beautiful scenery gather here. If you go deep into Malaysia, you'd better travel independently, and there will be new discoveries and surprises.
enjoy life by the original seaside
From the map, the Malay Peninsula is like a big leaf floating between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, surrounded by the sea on three sides and the Malacca Strait on the southwest coast, which is a famous shipping expressway.
so I recommend you go to the east coast of Malaysia, where the water is clear. You can choose the famous Heat Wave Island, which is the location of Mammy Tea in summer, and Tioman Island, etc. There are all kinds of resorts here, where the water is clear and the sand is young, the coconut wind is blue, and the sea and the sky are the same. You can enjoy the comfortable life on the island to your heart's content.
Another particularly pleasant way to play is to drive along the coastal highway on the east coast, where you can not only see the simple rural scenery and poetic scenery of Malay villages, but also stretch over 7 kilometers of beaches, and many times there is no one there. Find a beach and lie down for a long time, and suddenly feel that this is the way to enjoy life.
Climbing the mountain in the original rainforest
You don't know that the rainforest in Malaysia, like the rainforest in Brazil, has a long history. For example, in Dahanshan National Park, there is the oldest rainforest in the world, which is about 13 million years old. In the rainforest, endless activities are waiting for you to participate. Have you ever tried to walk in the top of a tree? Between Kuala Tahan and Kuala Koh, there is such a suspension bridge plank road, and you can overlook the oldest rainforest scenery in the world.
or stay at a hidden observation point in the forest for one night, where there are toilets and sleeping places. At night, you can see countless green eyes looking at you.
If you still have time, you can also go to Lushan Mountain in Na Ba, the highest peak in Sabah and the whole Southeast Asia, which is also called Shenshan Mountain. The most unforgettable experience is going to the top. You will experience the changes of four seasons and see the highest sunshine in Southeast Asia. The tourist season here is April, July, August and December.
Market route
The traditional Malaysia route is still a patchwork route between Singapore and Matai, and the price is around 4, yuan. Usually, Malaysia's tours focus on Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Genting, Langkawi and other places in West Malaysia. In addition, in East Malaysia, where China tourists travel less, there are also many routes launched in the market, such as a five-day tour in Sabah, East Malaysia, at a price of around 6, yuan.
There are many island products in Malaysia. For example, Lelang Island travels freely on the 6th, and the price is around 5,4 yuan. In fact, when you go to Malaysia, you can choose to travel freely. One third of the local population is Chinese, and the language barrier is not great. For example, you can customize it through China Travel Network or travel agency, or buy a ticket from Malaysia Airlines and go directly.
don't rush through Sri Lanka this time
To be honest, for Sri Lanka, many people think it's just a rush through. The reason is that this is a famous transit point to Maldives.
But when you rush by, this country called "a tear on the cheek of Buddha" has more tourism resources than you think.

In Sri Lanka, if you want to shop, cowhide loungers, black tea, precious stones and sarong are all cheap and absolutely worth buying. And playing is wonderful.
The historic site under the original Buddha's smile
In Sri Lanka, it has a style comparable to Angkor. Go to Anuraha Pula and you will find the oldest tree in written records. It is said that the Bodhi tree cuttings of Buddha's enlightenment grew up. Kandy, the ancient capital, must go, because the most famous Buddha tooth temple is here, which can worship the Buddha's teeth.

Although the journey is bumpy, the scenery in Goh, southern Sri Lanka, will still make you feel that what you pay is directly proportional to what you get.

Europe's new darling Spain
Before 26, Spain was not the focus of Chinese people's travel to Europe.
But in 27, all this will change. With the deepening of the Year of Spanish Culture in 27, Spain warmly welcomes China tourists with an unprecedented attitude-in 27, Spain will become the new European darling of China tourists.
Festival, the highlight of the year, has a special flavor
"People in no country take festivals more seriously than the Spanish." Therefore, going to Spain in the Spanish Culture Year and catching up with one or two important local festivals is the most important thing to encounter during the trip.
April Expo-location: Seville. The Los Remedios district of Seville is a place where millions of revelers enjoy their drinks. From evening till dawn, Sevilla's delightful signature Flamenco music sevillana resounded through the sky.
Pentecosts-Location: El Rocio, Andalusia Province. This is a pilgrimage that will be attended by more than 5, people. Pilgrims come here to touch the wooden statue of the blessed Virgin Mary in El Rocio.

Original juice recommends a new highlight of Valencia
Exit guide: Spanish Embassy Zhu Fangfang
Spain also has a large number of world cultural heritages. Focus on Valencia, which was rarely visited by tourists from China before. Valencia, the third largest city in Spain, is close to the Mediterranean Sea. It is the hometown of paella, a national dish of Spain. The Fa Ya Festival on March 19th every year is also famous in the world, and there is also a world cultural heritage in the city. In 27, the final of the America's Cup will be held in Valencia, and China will also participate.
market route
at present, the market is dominated by the connection between Spain and Portugal. However, this connection between Spain and Portugal has also been upgraded this year. In the previous routes, the whole connection time was about eight or nine days, and the time was short, mainly for the capital tour.
In this year, the connection between Spain and Portugal is mostly 11 days, and the travel is more in-depth. You can visit the Alhambra Palace in Granada, look for the original footprints of the matador in Long Da, and visit Tuo Lei, a world cultural heritage city in Spain. These trips are rarely involved before, but they represent the essence of Spanish culture.
At present, the quotation for the 11th line of the Spain-Portugal link is about 15, yuan.
