From Macau to Kuala Lumpur at 10:50am
First, we went to Macau to take a flight to Kuala Lumpur airport LCCT, if you want to take an earlier flight in Macau, the Macau Gongbei gate switch is at 7:00am but when we arrived at 6:00am or so, there were already a lot of people queuing up for the border crossing, so it is better for you to go earlier. Kuala Lumpur has 2 airports, so when booking tickets, pay attention to what is written in the airport, generally AirAsia's aircraft all is in LCCT, other countries other airlines are mostly in KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport), this time because of my cousin is from Singapore, so he is in KLIA out, booking tickets when we did not pay attention to the time, so we will be meeting the time when the tossed for a long time.
17:50 from Kuala Lumpur to Penang
Because of the rendezvous tossed, so the plane can not catch up, Malaysia's LCCT airport all CHECK IN is the machine, and you have to at least 1 hour ahead of time through the machine to CHECK IN, otherwise you may not be able to catch the plane, if it is too late to CHECK IN to be immediately and the work of the SERVICE If you can't make it, you need to contact the SERVICE immediately. We just couldn't make our flight this time, we were 20 minutes short, and we had to re-buy our ticket, and we re-bought our ticket at the SERVICE COUNTER, and we got the 19:55 flight, and it was a few minutes late. I feel that LCCT airport is like our station, the plane is directly walk next to the plane on, rather than like other airports such as the channel, the location of the narrow ah, I sat throughout the course of the plane, a lot of stand up, I really can not stand the stomach has been bent like this, although I am 157, 43KG body type is considered to be very small, but I really can not stand it." I can't stand it.
Actually, you don't need to take those rickshaws to Penang, it's really expensive, and the roads are actually very close, it's not worth it.
1. Cost: about RM400, with the Hong Kong dollar 1,000 only to exchange to RM385
Take a taxi from the LCCT to KLIA round trip with 84.40
Buy drinks and eat about 70
Take a taxi from the airport to the hotel with 98
To the hotel on the food with 100
To the hotel to pay a 20 guarantee fee. The hotel said it would return the money after checking out
2. Hotel: Super 8 in George Town, Penang
The hotel is quite clean, for people like me with a little bit of cleanliness fetish is satisfied, the best thing is that the Chinese owner of the hotel can speak Cantonese and Mandarin, too good. There are no slippers, best to bring your own; no windsock, you can ask the boss to get it; no coat hanger, you can ask the boss to get it; no water bottle, you have to pour water to drink from the water machine near the elevator entrance, we saw three buckets of instant noodles next to the water machine; no toothbrush, you have to bring your own.
3. Eat: Wander around the hotel
Because we went on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, many restaurants closed very early. We arrived at the Penang hotel at about 10:00, and ended up wandering around, fortunately very LUCKY to find a Chinese seafood restaurant, the owner still speaks Cantonese and Mandarin, very intimate, feel like home to eat late-night snacks, haha.
The next day: tour of Penang
In fact, the hotel to the tourist area is not very far, if you walk according to the map, you can also reach, we first went to the Everbright, the Everbright is a big shopping mall, and then there is a free BUS, but because of the free BUS parked in too much of the place is not like the station, so we did not find, and then saw a car, and then go up and ask the driver, the driver drove us directly to the station, and then we went to the station. Then we saw a bus, went up and asked the driver to take us to the free bus terminal to get on the bus. The free bus stop is near the Surname Bridge. In fact, according to the map, you will find a lot of alleys, love alley, there are many youth hostels, you will see a lot of foreigners are sitting in front of the door, but we do not have any special feeling for the alleys, because there are a lot of Guangdong.
Then we found the pier to Langkawi and the place to sell boat tickets, but when we got there, the tickets were all sold out, maybe it happened to be the New Year. Anyway, next time it's safer to buy online. We ended up finding an Italian place inside the building opposite the main station to have a quick bite to eat, and then booked our tickets from Penang to Langkawi via WIFI inside. AirAsia doesn't have flights from Penang to Langkawi these days, so we went directly to the Malaysia Airlines website to book our tickets.
Lastly, I went back to my hotel to hang out. I was also able to walk around the Bridge of Surnames, which I had high hopes for, but it was nothing special, just a whole row of houses built on the beach. It's just a row of houses built on the beach. There's no one with my own last name, so it's kind of boring. Seriously, Penang has nothing to offer, I won't be coming back next time. Although there are a lot of people who know Cantonese, it doesn't feel like you're in a foreign country at all, you just feel like you're playing in your own home in a poorer part of the country. Those snacks, if it is Guangdong people go, I feel that those snacks are nothing special, because in Guangdong will often eat, kuey teow is actually a copy of the flour, and then there are oyster clippings, pork intestines, these Guangdong can be eaten casually. If you're from a province other than Guangdong, you'll have to try it if you haven't eaten it before.
To say a word is that Malaysians speak English with a lot of accent, I went to 7-11 to buy a phone card, the clerk said a lot of words I do not quite understand, because of the problem of accent, and then the result of the phone card tried for a long time or not, fortunately, we asked her to help us to get it right before we left, and the result of the phone card has been getting it wrong, not to play out, she refunded the money to us. So if you are going to buy a phone card, it is better to ask the clerk to help you first to make sure that you can call out before you leave.
1. Cost About 550
Breakfast: had sandwiches, about RM15
Italian dinner in the afternoon: about RM331
Dinner: about RM200
Day 3: Penang to Langkawi
Woke up early in the morning, we went to the place where we ate the night before for breakfast, the flight was at 3:00pm. The flight was after 3pm, we made a TAXI appointment for 11:30am, then we went to have breakfast at 10am, then went back to the hotel to get our stuff and then went to the airport, it was an easy day. After arriving in Langkawi, we went directly to the hotel, the hotel is BELLA VISTA, seriously, the appearance is like a castle, very big. But we originally booked a family room, but she said there was a system error, the family room was already given to someone else, and gave 3 double rooms to us. And it's WIFI can only access the internet in the hotel lobby, the room can't be received, the room is not bad, live down I can still accept it. And the equipment is relatively complete, probably because the hotel is supposed to be more advanced point, there is a hair dryer, electric kettle. Then to nine o'clock, we first freshen up, and then to the hotel lobby to book the next day snorkeling trip, the trip is RM120 a person, including round-trip transfer costs and a lunch. We then went to Eagle Square and then wandered around a bit more before going back to eat seafood near the hotel. Just behind the hotel on a road there are a lot of seafood restaurants, people are a lot of but we ate that one is really not very good, slow food, we are next to the table of the two foreigners to wait for their food until the end of the last did not go on to buy a single away. Then our dishes, he on the wrong dish, of course, we are respectful of the order, the taste is general or maybe it is the reason of hunger, we ate it all. In fact, I do not like the feeling of such a deserted Langkawi, I still favor the feeling of the big city. But the air is good is undeniable. After the meal, we look for a place to change money, Langkawi change money place is really not a lot, walked at least 20-30 minutes
to find, and the shopping mall there, is really not what I thought, and the mall's toilets have to charge, this I have nothing to say.

Breakfast: about 100
Other costs at the airport: about 50

Day 4: Snorkeling in Langkawi
Eat a free buffet breakfast at the hotel early in the morning, then at 8 o'clock there is a car at the hotel to pick us up to go to the pier to take the boat, in fact, the pier is in the Eagle Square there, the boat sat for about 1 hour, about 11 o'clock to the PAYAR Island, there are a lot of people, the water is very clear. The water is very clear. I used RM40 to keep my luggage, and then I took the snorkeling equipment and life jackets that were distributed and went to play. The water was very clear, I saw small fishes swimming in the water, very cool feeling. The weather on the day we were there was great, not much sun, cloudy, not until after lunch in the afternoon, my shoulders were red and still a bit sore on the fifth day. Face was red too.
About 2:30 p.m. we have to concentrate on going back, waited a long time to get on the boat back to the pier, and then go back to the hotel. It was salty with sea salt all over. So we all washed from head to toe in the hotel before we went out to look for food. We first went to the hotel two streets away from the street stroll, bought a few HOT DOG eat, although it is a private stall, but the taste is really good. Then went to some traditional clothing stores to see a little, and finally found another seafood restaurant, this time the restaurant is much better, the food is served quickly flavor is also good, in fact, the price is about the same, but this time we ate more food. Finally went back to the hotel to sleep.
1. cost
Island consumption of about 50
dinner about 180
hot dog 18
Day 5: Langkawi to Kuala Lumpur
Bought a ticket at 16:55 pm, early in the morning, I intend to go over to the Langkawi cable car to play from the hotel to the cable car in about 45 minutes to 10:00 pm, the results of a lot of people in line to buy tickets and the cable car to play. The result is a lot of people in line to buy tickets and wait to ride the cable car, we are afraid to wait too long will delay the plane, and we also dragged the luggage, not sure if you can take the luggage up to the time, so you can only look at the eye, and then in the cable car park near the wandering. Because of the way to see a horseback riding place, we asked a few people how to go, everyone said walking as long as 5 minutes, we dragged our luggage to walk on the mountain road, it feels very much like watching Europe and the United States horror movies those in the road broken down and then appeared to be a horror thing of the movie bridge, and then walked about 5 minutes, the results of what have not yet seen on the abandonment of the dragging of the luggage to walk in fact, really tired, in fact, horseback riding in front of you, and then walk another 50 meters to see a horseback riding place. Walk another 50 meters can be seen. The first thing you need to do is to get to a place where you can see that the horse is not yet open, and then go directly to the airport.
Roughly 6 p.m. to Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur is really busy, like Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui and Mongkok, many foreigners, our hotel YY38 is in the center of town, walk over to the Petronas Twin Towers for about 30-40 minutes, the street behind the hotel is the famous food street Aloo Street, walk to the end of the street is Huang Yawah, which in the recommendations have seen, we went in to eat, roasted chicken wings are particularly tasty, skin crispy Tender meat, vegetables also fried flavor is very good, the result is that we all eat all, walk to the Petronas Twin Towers, the hotel said 15 minutes, in fact, walked for 40 minutes, to pass the PAVILION shopping mall, our hotel is also in the vicinity of many shopping malls, past the PAVILION shopping mall there is a passageway of the Petronas Twin Towers, the passageway 22.50 minutes can not be passed, we are probably 10 o'clock, the passageway is very long, the air-conditioned, in Kuala Lumpur. There is air conditioning, in Kuala Lumpur in this weather walking through will not be very hot, but I guess the electricity bill will use a lot of it. When we got to the Petronas Twin Towers, that's beautiful, and even more so at night, it's worth the trip.
But the only bad thing is that the hotel does not work, for my kind of people with a little bit of cleanliness, really can not accept, simple, although the anti-theft facilities do quite good, is to get on the elevator when you have to use the room card to swipe a little bit, otherwise it is not pressed to the floor. Then the toilet only had a cup, I looked at it, shit, disgusting, it was dirty inside, I don't know how long it hadn't been messed with. Anyway, I won't come back next time, it's filthy. It's just a better location, there are actually a lot of other hotels all around the hotel, I just saw a lot of foreigners in, next time pick a better one.
Day 6: Kuala Lumpur Day Trip
Because my aunty had to take a flight back to Hong Kong first this day, so we sent her to the airport first, help her CHECK IN, because AirAsia's are machine CHECK IN, my aunty doesn't understand English. Then we told her which gate to go to before leaving. Then, we rounded up at KL SENTRAL, we walked directly to the public **** bus station next to the airport, take the red BUS from LCCT to KLSENTRAL, in fact, directly ask the staff next to the car is good, just RM8 a person, holy cow, we didn't know the way to fight before, what a waste of money, if next time I go there, I will know. To KL SENTRAL, we found that exchange rate is very good exchange store next to the bookstore, in the second floor, we have to slowly find find, the exchange rate is really higher than all the exchange we have changed a few days ago. Then in KL SENTRAL buy tickets to Genting, if from LCCT airport take the red BUS to KL SENTRAL, as soon as you get off the bus, you will see the small station selling Genting tickets, is in the negative floor of KL SENTRAL. Bought a 1 pm to Genting ticket, the ticket is a one-way ticket, and then is included in the return cable car, a *** RM10.3 a person, the car to the top of the Genting about 1 hour, the temperature of the top of the Genting is lower than that of the city of a few degrees, after all, it is the top of the mountain, the BUS only sends you to the waist of the mountain, and then you follow the queue of people have been up, you will see a lot of people waiting for the cable car, we waited for an hour and a half, the exhaustion ah. But if you are ruthless enough to buy a RM30 express ticket, you can get on the cable car right away, this I personally think is feasible if you don't have a lot of time.
This day we go, Genting rain and fog, ride the cable car that cool ah, in the smoke haze between very exciting. A cable car sitting 8 people, if the staff arranged for you and your friends to sit separately, you can say wait a moment, and then sit down a carriage. The cable car ride takes about 25-30 minutes each way. When we got to the top, we went to the casino for a bit, then came back out to take the cable car to go when it was already 6pm or so, a lot of people were queuing up for the cable car at that time, and holy crap, we had to wait again, and ended up waiting for about 1 hour before we got to ride it. Going down was even smokier than going up, it was quite exciting at first as you see nothing underneath the cable car, nothing to see but smoke. When we got to the mountainside, the tickets back to the city have all been sold out, so I advise you can buy in advance, we had to take a taxi back, that way used RM130. back to the city is already more than 8 o'clock, and then casually in the shopping malls to stroll back to sleep, because the next day is an early flight.
Costs:
LCCT: RM90
LCCT to KL SENTRAL: RM16 for two people
KL SENTRAL to Genting + cable car round trip: RM51.5 for five people
Genting back to the city center: RM130 for five people
Eating + buying some Handicrafts: about RM300
Day 7: Home
Woke up early in the morning and went to the airport to take a flight home.
Summary of a few points to note:
1. If you and your family and friends are not in the same place at the same time, it is best to pay attention to the booking of the ticket is the same airport, I guess this problem is not everyone knows, we did not know that there are two airports in Kuala Lumpur, if there is not a "rendezvous" problem. We would not have known that there are two airports in Kuala Lumpur if not for the "rendezvous" issue.
2. Penang is not beautiful, more countryside feeling, I personally do not like, there is nothing good to shop, I recommend that we do not go
3. If you plan to take a boat from Penang to Langkawi, it is best to go online to book a ticket, this is the website: www.langkawi-ferry.com
4. to Langkawi, be sure to try to snorkeling, it's quite fun! The cable car in Langkawi is open from 10AM-18PM, if you want to go, you have to prepare the time loosely a little bit, because it is also a lot of people will play.
5. To Langkawi can rent their own car is better, if time allows.
6. to Kuala Lumpur, if the luggage is not much, it is best to choose to take the BUS to KL SENTRAL, BUS station is out of the lobby door to the left and keep walking, do not have to cross the street, and then will pass through the door of the departure and then go straight, you will see a lot of yellow and red BUS parked there.
7. To Genting, it is best to arrive a little earlier in the morning to avoid the busy time of the cable car, and then leave in the afternoon.
8. If you go to Kuala Lumpur, you must go to Wong Ah Wah Restaurant in Ah Lo Street to have BBQ Chicken Wings, the flavor is very good, and the taste of the dishes he cooks in there is also very good.
9. To SHOPPING in Kuala Lumpur, then, to pre-loosen a little more time, Kuala Lumpur brand goods is a little cheaper than Hong Kong, worth buying.
10. KL SENTRAL second floor bookstore next to the exchange store, if you go there, you can go there to exchange currency. The exchange rate is good.
