Travel Tips

1. Domestic individuals cannot exchange currency for Malaysian Ringgit. Although ICBC’s foreign exchange prices include Malaysian Ringgit, it does not provide personal exchange services for Malaysian Ringgit. It is recommended to apply for a Hua Xia Bank debit card. The first three overseas transactions per day in Shanghai are free. After withdrawing money from the CIMB Bank ATM near the KLIA exit, my phone immediately received a text message from Hua Xia Bank, reminding you of the withdrawal. For the amount of RMB, the exchange rate is 0.466. There are ATMs with the UnionPay logo everywhere in Kuala Lumpur. May Bank and HSBC both charge handling fees. CIMB (red logo) does not charge handling fees. I think there are the most ATMs (there are also ATMs at Ting Jian Nu Airport). In addition, you must choose a current account when withdrawing money. , never choose a savings account.

The highest exchange shop is in Bukit Bintang. The exchange rate of most exchange shops is 0.467-0.47, which is a little higher than the ATM withdrawal rate. The lowest is at the airport, usually 0.41-0.42. Many duty-free shops (such as bodyshop) on the international departure level of KLIA can Use RMB, but the exchange rate is only more than 0.42.

2. Telephone Since there are not many calls at ordinary times, I choose international roaming. After recharging the mobile phone with more than 200RMB, call 10086 to activate the international roaming service, which is valid for one month. After arriving in Kuala Lumpur, manually select the Maxis network (Malaysia's largest telecom operator). Accepting text messages is free during your stay in Malaysia (you will receive text messages immediately when withdrawing money from an ATM, which is very convenient). Sending text messages back home costs 0.4RMB/text, and making international calls costs 2.99RMB/minute. , local calls are 0.99RMB/minute. There are many shops selling phone cards in Kuala Lumpur and the airport. There are not many phone numbers, so I don’t recommend buying them.

3. We recommend Bukit Bintang for shopping. There are many shopping malls and many choices. The giant supermarket on the G floor of Sungei Wang Plaza is relatively large. It has a variety of local specialties and the prices are relatively cheap. There are Chinese promoters. , easy to communicate. Bodyshop is the cheapest in the duty-free shop in the international departure area of ??KLIA (there are two bodyshops in KLIA, and the other one is near the Malaysia Airlines check-in counter). It is 5% cheaper than Bukit Bintang and much cheaper than Hong Kong. L'Oreal is more expensive than Thailand, but still much cheaper than in China.

4. KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) Some travel notes mention that after arriving at KLIA, you need to take the airport light rail to the immigration, but in fact you don’t need to take the light rail. The immigration is on the next floor of the international arrivals level. There is a food garden on the second floor of KLIA, which is similar to an airport employee canteen. It has delicious food from all over the world and is very cost-effective. The airport taxi service is easy to find. You can see it after picking up your luggage after immigration. KLIA to Bukit Bintang costs MYR 102 (luxury car).

5. Since Malaysia Airlines decided to go to Redang Island temporarily, we chose the special ticket of Malaysia Airlines, 3350 yuan per person for 4 flights. Basically, there were no delays. The services and facilities were very good, and the takeoff and landing were smooth. Stable, much better than China Eastern Airlines. In addition, it is highly recommended to take Malaysia Airlines from Kuala Lumpur to Ding Jianu. Malaysia Airlines flight times are better, and if you book one month in advance, the round trip price of Malaysia Airlines may be cheaper than Air Asia. In addition to almost no restrictions on luggage, there are newspapers and snacks on the plane. and drinks.

6. It is more cost-effective to take a taxi in Kuala Lumpur when there are many taxi drivers. Drivers basically do not use the meter. If the price exceeds 15 MYR, the price will always be 15 MYR, which is acceptable to the driver. The hotel helped to book the trip from Bukit Bintang to KLIA, 90 MYR
