Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country with a tropical rain forest climate. Almost all of them believe in Islam and have a very long history. The economic development here once became the dragon thief of Asia, but it fell into the middle-income trap and has not recovered so far. The following is a guide to self-help travel in Malaysia in 2117.

Last summer vacation, I took my son on a family trip to Malaysia. The first flight caught up with the delay of domestic flights. Because I have to catch an international flight, I feel very anxious and lose the freshness of flying for the first time. The stewardesses of China Southern Airlines are not only beautiful, but also have first-class service quality. She comforted me all the way, reported my arrival in the city all the way, and reminded me how long it would take to get to Guangzhou. The flight was delayed for an hour.

Thanks to the thoughtful service of the stewardess of China Southern Airlines, I successfully boarded the plane to Penang, Malaysia. Next to me, a young Malaysian engineer, who I always thought was from China, acted like a gentleman all the way. He gave up his window seat to his son who wanted to see the scenery outside the window. He will also take the initiative to bring us water and blankets when eating. The plane will arrive in Penang in an hour. The young man talked to me in Mandarin, which is unique to Chinese in Malaysia. He asked me to guess whether he was Malay or China. Looking at his fair skin, I concluded that he came from China and Fujian. Because Malaysia is located at the equator, people should be darker. He told me that he was Malaysian and that he immigrated to Malaysia from his grandfather's generation. He is an engineer, who was sent by the company to work in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, but returned to China because he didn't adapt to the water and soil there. He speaks softly and sweetly. It was the first time I heard Malay Mandarin in China, and it felt so beautiful. He talked frankly about his work and Chinese life in Malaysia. He said that Chinese are second-class citizens in Malaysia and do not enjoy equal rights with Malays.

After a four-hour flight, the plane arrived in Penang at 9 pm and got off the plane. The young man said goodbye to us. We went through the airport lobby, passed the border check and picked up our luggage at the baggage claim area. At this time, my husband is waiting to meet us at the entrance of the lobby. Out of the lobby, I saw the narrow streets and low buildings under the dim street lights, which seemed less ambitious than the second largest city. My husband says this area is the least prosperous area in Penang. A slightly darker and thinner Malaysian driver came to meet us in a black car. This car is cool. The driver took us across a long bridge called Penang Bridge. The sea is so dark that we can't see clearly. The car goes very fast. In the blink of an eye, we arrived at an apartment. My husband thanked the driver and took us into the apartment. The apartment is twenty-five stories high, so you have to punch in. This is a hall. There is also a vat with a fountain from the bottom up. There are several wooden chairs with backs, which seem to be for people to relax. The hall is very big, and the tile floor is very bright, which can reflect people's figure. There is a small table in it. A property manager in a white uniform sat there with dark skin and a beard on his slender face. When he saw us passing by, he nodded to us. There was a gate inside. You have to swipe your card to get in. We got on one of them and came to the 15th floor. We got out of the elevator and entered a long corridor. Next to us, we saw a family with an iron gate with railings, a cabinet for shoes and a closed door.

I opened an iron gate, changed my shoes, opened a wooden door inside and entered a four-bedroom and one-bedroom apartment. The living room is large, with a dry table and a view of the seaside. There is a sofa TV in the living room, a big rectangular mahogany dining table, a kitchen, a refrigerator and a kitchen cabinet next to the door, and a small door next to it. There is a laundry room, a washing machine, a clothes rack and a clothesline for drying clothes, and a window. The maximum is 11 square meters, with a bed and wardrobe, a room with a writing desk, two bathrooms, all equipped with water heaters, and each room has air conditioning. This is a room rented by my husband's company, and it feels more comfortable than home.

my son and I had a good night's sleep. The next morning, my husband drove me to a nearby breakfast shop called Bazaar for dinner. Actually, many people in China run food stalls. There are various commercial display boards on both sides, including Fujian noodles, Taiwan Province chicken rice, fried noodles, Thai noodles, cold drinks, rice noodles, wonton and fried dough sticks. Dispel a little heat in the morning for people who come to eat. We just sat down at an empty table. A young man with slightly darker skin, very thin. His hair is long in the middle of his head, but it looks like a mane on horseback. He asked us if we would like to have a drink in Malay. My husband understood what he said and asked us what to drink. My son wants orange juice, but my husband doesn't know how to translate orange juice into Malay. Sister China, who sells rice noodles next to her, rushed over to help us sell them to the young man. We were so grateful to the elder sister that we asked for her rice noodles. There was fresh shrimp in it, which was salty and delicious. They drank a large cup of iced coffee with sugar. They are full of fragrance and full of energy all morning. My husband took us to the nearest supermarket in Yikang province, which is no different from our domestic supermarkets, except that their vegetables are priced at kilograms. We pushed the shopping cart out of the checkout area with two wooden stools against the wall. You can sit and rest, and then there is a glass box with a lot of coins in the middle, which says charity fund, which is convenient for charity people. Malaysia is a religious country, where many people believe in Islam and Christianity, especially in the center of Penang. Muslims in white hats and white clothes can be seen everywhere, and Islamic churches can be seen everywhere. Listen to the locals, as long as you walk into the muslin, it's like a family. Your difficulty is everyone's difficulty. Everyone is proud of being kind to others. Later, I also went to the nearby Christian church and witnessed their religious activities. I'm surprised that religion has such a strong cohesion. Everyone sings and prays quietly and seriously, and strictly follows the instructions of the priest. Looking at Jesus crucified, I think he is really great. So many people drive over after work and dinner. There are so many children here. Because it's all in English, I can't understand a word, but the hymn is very nice, and the candles lit by everyone are very warm. The priest sent me a list of church activities, with how much money to donate for each activity and what souvenirs the church can give.

The apartment we live in is called Wellesley, which means Ocean Apartment. You can see the west coast from anywhere in the apartment. It takes five minutes to drive to the pier and fifteen minutes to Penang Island, which is the center of Penang. The ferry is very big, with three floors, cars and motorcycles below and people in the middle.

There are some machines on the top floor, and the ferry is the cheapest. A round trip only costs RM 1.2, which is less than RMB 2. This is the fastest way to get to Penang from Beihai, but it's too far around Da Qiao Road in Penang.

but waiting for the ferry also needs patience. The ferry carries a large number of passengers, with more than 311 people on board, no problem. It's basically a half-hour round trip. Ferry is an indispensable means of transportation in Penang.

The apartment is in the south of India. Most of the residents are Indians, next to them are Malays. Indians live in low concrete buildings. On the first floor of the apartment, there are many breakfast spots and some sporadic vendors who buy vegetables and sell fish and fruit. There is a shop that makes flying cakes, and we often go there. Their flying cakes are slightly sweet, as thin as paper, and their fragrance is hard to chew. A cake is less than two yuan, with delicious food. If you wrap it, Indian girls will wrap it in oiled paper and then wrap it in newspapers. Finally, I will give you a big bag of curry sauce. You can't finish your meal several times, so you can come again with a smile. We often come here to buy fresh beef and fish and shrimp. My husband doesn't ask people how much a catty is, nor does he look at the weighing. He will give you as much as they say. My husband said not to worry. Allah and Allah are watching them.

Walk from India to the Ocean Apartment where we live, passing through the Malay residential area. The houses where Malays live are all low iron houses with small areas and small windows. Some houses have two floors, on which clothes are hung. A shed extends under the eaves, which is the roof of the yard. There is no courtyard wall.

sometimes you can see the indoor carpet through the window. People sit on the floor. Every family has a range hood, and some even have two. Cars in Malaysia are very cheap and are the main means of transportation. Malays pray five days a day, and at five o'clock in the morning in their apartment, their melodious and stirring prayers come out. My husband said that Malay workers in the factory will stop working at prayer time, and God is with them every day.

Malaysia was once a British colony, leaving behind many British buildings. In Penang, not far from the pier, there is a fort left by the British, with three cannons on it, facing the Penang Sea, and next to it is a big square.

and not far away stands a bell tower more than 11 meters high. Many tourists pay tribute to it. The shopping malls around here are all high-end, and even some food stalls are exquisite and distinctive. Many foreigners like to eat here under the sea breeze.

We go to Penang for the most. My son likes KFC here and I like sushi here. The shopping malls here are connected with each other, and we can enjoy delicious food from all over the world. We had Malaysian New Year's Eve dinner, Thai food, hot dogs, bak Kut teh, paella and Satay in Taiwan Province Province.

the most unforgettable thing is bak Kut teh. It tastes special, but it tastes comfortable. It is said that it was created by China people who came to Malaysia that year, just to adapt to the local climate, and it contains many Chinese medicines for regulating the body.

Walking in Georgetown, which is full of vivid murals, those exaggerated arts also make us feel like we are back to childhood. We also took photos with murals and walked along the streets of India with wild and cheerful music. We feel as if we are in the Indian countryside, enjoying the Indian goods and feeling the Indian culture. We also bought a wreath to hang around our necks. Indian women's clothes are so beautiful. If they are not too expensive, I really want to buy one for myself.

National parks show us virgin forests, where well-developed roots are exposed outside the surface, and dense trees soar around towering trees that block the sun. Where there are streams, there are lizards.

sometimes when there is no road, you have to climb up and down the roots to see the golden beach below. We drank coconut milk and watched foreigners surf by speedboat. Their madness complements the warm sunshine on this golden beach.

In awe of the Buddha, we walked into the reclining Buddha Temple and the Dami Kaman Temple. They are on both sides of an alley, and the janitor doesn't charge. We went directly into the temple, where the buildings were resplendent and beautifully carved. The reclining Buddha Temple is a Buddhist temple in Thailand.

The temple is dedicated to the third largest indoor reclining Buddha in the world, with a total length of 33 meters. It lies quietly in the main hall of the temple. Sleeping Buddha, wearing a golden cassock, lying on the right side with his feet to the right, kindly watching the tourists entering the main hall.

There are other Buddha statues and eighteen arhats around the reclining Buddha, and some statues of Thai monks are covered with gold foil. In addition, the reclining Buddha platform also has a place for believers to put their ashes. The urn in the reclining Buddha is considered to be the cleanest place.

is a Buddhist temple in Dharmikarama Myanmar. The pagoda of Dharmikarama Burmese temple is square. Here is a 27-meter-high Buddha of Sakyamuni. The Buddha statues are vividly carved and brightly colored.

to come to Malaysia, the surname Qiao is a must. This is a business card of Penang. The surname bridge is a general term for many bridges. At the end of 2118 and the beginning of 2119, Surname Bridge was once a prosperous port, which provided a lot of job opportunities for the influx of immigrants.

Clan communities in China quickly developed near the pier, and local people built floating houses and high-rise houses along the coast. The bottom is supported by piles, and the wooden board is paved as a "bridge" as a village street, which is connected with the land.

Many bridges have surnames. Each bridge belongs to a surname, and each bridge is mainly inhabited by surnames and clans. These docks and residential areas have gradually become today's surname bridges, like small docks with rows of houses.

With the passage of time, some pallet bridges have become obsolete, but a row of wooden houses with drainage records the footprints of our ancestors, and they have also become a unique tourist attraction in Penang, which is a must-see place for tourists when they come to Penang.

the picture is from Jane's book App

isn't this ship very distinctive?

Today, the well-preserved surname of Qiao Zhou is inhabited by about 71 families, and it is also the shooting place of the film First Love Red Bean Ice, which tells the story of a group of young people growing up in a small village in Malaysia in the early 1991s.

after p>21 years, the childhood glass marbles may no longer exist, but the red bean ice, the old shop and the growing memory of a generation at that time are perfectly integrated with the simplicity of the surname bridge.

The residents here live a simple life. Now some residents of the older generation still make a living by fishing, while most young people have moved to other places to live.

Some people say that every stake and rope of Surname Bridge is a witness of history, and the faint smell of Shanghai water in the roadway records the struggle and tenacity of several generations of overseas Chinese in a foreign land.

We also rented a car to travel around Langkawi, a small island near Thailand in the north of Penang. The quiet harbor, strange black sand beaches, vast mangroves make people linger, and there are many luxury shops integrating leisure and entertainment. The scenery is beautiful, the decoration is exquisite and unique, and the service is thoughtful and refreshing. There are few local Chinese, so it is quite inconvenient for them not to speak English.

It's been a year since I left Malaysia. I really want to hear the cheerful tone unique to Malay, and I really want to see the smell of Baku Kut Teh and Indian flying cakes again, and I really want to see the golden beaches, stinking Maoshan distilled lotus, salty bean syrup and Penang again. I don't know when I can see you again.
