    Actually, you don't need to exchange your tickets in advance; you just need to arrive early on the day of the trip and queue up. Everyone sits on the upper deck. It's pretty good; it feels like a country that's genuinely committed to making tourism a success.

    Last minute planned to Sunway Lagoon after the water park we planned to bring the kids was closed ok Wednesday. On the spot googled and booked tickets through this app and got discount + deducted by my previous trip coins so cheaper than buy ok the site. It was a fun dah with the kids. We went from 11 am - 8 pm and tried almost all the rides. The best and the most fun part was the waves at Surf Beach. My kids really enjoyed here plus got animals + other fun rides. Worth the price and definitely will cole again 🤍

    The cave complex contains many Hindu temples, the most popular of which is a shrine dedicated to the deity Murugan. It is the focal point of the Tamil Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia.

    Visited Genting Skyworlds and overall had a good experience. The weather here is cold most of the time, so for those who is sensitive to cold, do dress a little bit thicker than  usual. Some rides can get you wet, so spare clothes and your own raincoat are useful as raincoats sold inside are slightly expensive. Highly recommend downloading the Genting Skyworlds app before entering. It allows you to check ride queue times and book virtual queues or fast lanes for the rides (limited to 3 rides), which helps save time. Food inside the park is on the pricey side but you can exit and re-enter the park, so you can go outside for more food options. Bringing a water bottle is also helpful as there are refill stations available. Pack light and dress comfortably as some rides require you to leave your bags before boarding. Lockers are available, but avoiding extra items helps save cost. Overall the park is clean and enjoyable though a few attractions were still not open during my visit.

    This was a nearly perfect trip. With the insurance premium of 2,260 yuan, we achieved a cost of more than 4,000 yuan. Usually, there are time limits for one-day and half-day tours, but buying a package ticket on Ctrip broke the time limit. The staff member who connected with Ctrip's Sky Mirror was a little sister. She was beautiful and kind, and provided thoughtful service. She helped to provide pick-up and drop-off for our tour guide Akai. He was thoughtful and professional, and was especially good at guiding children. He took us hiking in the mangroves and gave us an in-depth understanding of the mangrove ecology. If the children can communicate in English, they can also discuss and communicate with the English tour guide in the scenic area. When the children were tired, they were like big brothers. We encouraged them, and the time for Sekinchan, the fishing boats in the fishing village, and the wishing tree was perfect. The kids loved eating, so we took them to a special mango meal. Worried about being late for feeding eagles and watching fireflies, we took a detour. He was a very professional driver and guide. The kids wanted to eat roadside squid, and he found it for them regardless of time. The Sky Mirror trip was perfect and a place worth visiting. The photos we took were absolutely beautiful. I'd like to express my special thanks to the attentive and considerate young lady, the professional Akai, and the boat crew who took us on the boat trip. I'm especially grateful to the Sky Mirror photographer, who is truly professional!

    The Floating Mosque is located in Sabah, Malaysia. The white building is reflected in the water, which is suitable for taking photos. The opening hours are 8:00-17:00, and long clothes and long pants are required. Tanjong Aru Beach is a 15-minute drive from the mosque and is one of the three major sunset destinations in the world. The best viewing time is 18:00-18:30. Both attractions are free to open. It is recommended to go to the beach to watch the sunset after visiting the mosque in the afternoon.
