Heading to Malaysia, first stop, Langkawi

Langkawi's itinerary is very relaxed, basically playing in the water at the hotel, going out to play in the water by boat, speeding along the mountain roads in a small car, and stopping to stroll on the beach to see the sea. Stay: Chose the Westin with a pool Villa, which proved to be a correct choice. The hotel scenery is very nice, but the 'beach' after the tide is black mud, not suitable for playing in the water. When not wanting to go out, spend time in the private pool, snacking, and enjoying the view. Saw a beautiful sunset and moonrise on Mid-Autumn night, worth the price. Travel: After getting off the plane, rented a locally produced small car at the airport, the rent is about over a hundred RMB a day, the power is also good; the attractions on the island are scattered, if you want to wander around, renting a car is more convenient. The price of oil is also very cheap, RM2 per litre, equivalent to 3 RMB per litre, jaw-dropping, specially took a photo to record. (PS The direction of the car is opposite to that in China, be careful!) Play: Inevitably participated in the island hopping itinerary. One is Pregnant Maiden Island - Wet Rice Island - Sea Fishing BBQ, the sea water is not clean, many people chose not to go into the water, but catching some colorful small fish is also fun. One is the Mangrove tour, very good! You can choose to take a boat or paddle (if parents are not brought along, would definitely choose to paddle in it). The waterway in the mangrove is very wide, feeding monkeys along the way, watching eagles, the boat speeding through the mangrove, the boatman occasionally does a dragon tail swing, rushing into the sea all the way, no speed limit is great! In addition to island hopping, there is an old aquarium on the island, although not big, but also saw cute jellyfish, different styles of puffer fish, and grouper bigger than people, for me who really likes to see marine life, still very satisfied. Buy: Local chocolate is indeed cheaper than Kuala Lumpur, if you like to eat, you can buy some. The locals recommended a local specialty sea cucumber oil, said to be good for muscle soreness and skin moisturizing, tried it, woke up and the calf seems to be not so sour, but the taste is very sour and refreshing, emitting a seafood smell all over. A couple of interesting things: On the last day, the car had to be returned, so didn't want to add too much oil, went to the gas station to ask how much oil can be added at least, the answer was 10, thinking about if you drive to the gas station in China and say add 10 yuan, you would probably get beaten up, haha! The monkey king in the mangrove jumped onto our boat to eat bread, was very nervous, because had suffered from the monkeys in Emei Mountain! Asked the guide if the monkey would snatch my things, the guide said Malaysia is a small place, competition is not so intense, animals are very gentle. Thinking about it, it makes sense, it seems to be the same for people. When going for the island hopping tour, pieces of garbage kept floating on the sea. Asked the guide why not clean up, the guide said can't clean up all, all are blown from Thailand, in a few days the wind direction will change and will blow back to Thailand. Directly saw the state of environmental pollution once, and the world is not separated, everyone needs to take care of it together. Langkawi·Kedah
