There are some things you should pay attention to when traveling to Kota Kinabalu. In addition to safety aspects, there are also some precautions when traveling, as well as things to prepare and things to know in advance when traveling to Kota Kinabalu. Let’s take a look at the relevant
Information bar.
Basic information The currency is RM - the Malaysian ringgit. It is difficult to exchange it in domestic banks. It can be exchanged directly with RMB locally.
You can exchange money at airports, ATMs with the UnionPay logo and exchange points. The current exchange rate of ringgit is between 1:1.6-1.8, that is, 100 yuan is approximately equal to 63 ringgit.
Many exchange points close at 7:30, but some exchange points in Kota Kinabalu will open later, such as Modico; there is no time difference between China and Malaysia; Island Park Tunku Abdul Naman Island Park consists of 5
This ocean island park is composed of Pulau Gaya, Pulau Manukan, Pulau Mamutik, Pulau Sulug and Pulau Sapi. It is a great place for snorkeling,
A paradise for diving, swimming and other water sports.
What attracts tourists here is its coral reefs and beaches.
All the islands in the park are surrounded by coral reefs, some of which are exposed at low tide.
The main area of ??the park is located in PULAUMANUKAN; the ticket price is 25 MYR per person, and you can visit all the islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Park for free with an island ticket on the same day.
Opening hours: 8:30 am to 5:00 pm every day. How to get there. Take a direct speedboat for about 15-20 minutes (Jeselton Point Ferry Terminal is next to the Malaysia Royal Customs Department). The urban environment is equivalent to KK alone in China.
Just an ordinary small town.
However, the folk customs are simple, harmonious and friendly; there are many foreigners who come to travel, and there are many Koreans, but not as many as Chinese. Notes: 1. Don’t bring too much luggage, not too much luggage! It’s not that you have to spend money to do it.
When it comes to checked luggage, the key is that when traveling to tropical countries, you have to pack light, and the less you bring, the better.
My eldest cousin and I each have a backpack. Hers is still a computer bag. It is small and looks like a city beauty, because I know she will definitely go shopping for clothes.
Mine is a little bigger than hers, and it will be gone if I just carry a bag of snacks in my hand; 2. Currency exchange, after arriving at Kota Kinabalu Airport, you can find MoneyChanger to exchange some or get some from the ATM machine to use for meals in the car (100-200RM is enough
, if the hotel requires a deposit, please take an extra 100). It is better to wait until you get to the city and go to Modic Mall to exchange, as there are many exchanges there.
We turned around in a circle, and the highest one was almost 100:63.
In addition, when you go out of the Kota Kinabalu Airport after picking up your luggage, there is a taxi counter on the left. When you have no money to take a taxi, the enthusiastic lady will take out her calculator and tell you that I can change it here.
But, hold on, don’t change! 500RMB=275RM, you can calculate whether it’s worth it.
The eldest cousin took out the Alipay currency exchange rate calculator and saw that it was wrong. At least it could be exchanged for 30.
It's a bit dark here, make eye contact, and then move out!; 3. AirAsia doesn't seem to be as cold as in the transfer, so there's no need to bring a jacket to keep out the cold! Just bring a light coat, and it doesn't take up space; 4. Whether it's a direct flight or a direct flight
When transferring flights, if you can’t find the direction in the airport, just look at the signs above your head (usually in Chinese and English) or follow the flow of people, or ask the staff; 5. AirAsia’s baggage check-in rules are not that strict, as long as it is not too exaggerated, it can be counted
If you bring your carry-on baggage onto the plane, the check-in fee will be waived.
If you really have a lot of luggage and need to check it in, be sure to buy it online in advance, because it will be much more expensive to buy it at the counter.
The same applies to in-flight meals; 6. You don’t have to choose in-flight meals and seats when booking on AirAsia’s official website. You can bring your own dry food because you don’t have a long time. In addition, the seats on the plane are all the same. The most you can choose is the front row by the window.
That's all, there is no need to waste money.
If it is an evening flight, there is no need to choose a window seat; 7. When paying by card in KK city, please ask the clerk to use the UnionPay channel to deduct the payment first, followed by VISA, and then MasterCard; if you are using VISA/MasterCard + UnionPay
For dual-currency cards, the clerk will tell you to give priority to foreign currency cards by default; 8. When buying tickets for sailing at Jesselton Pier, if the teller keeps asking you if you want to spend 10RM to rent a snorkeling suit, just say no and wait until you get to the island.
Rent again.
