Malaysia Visa-Free | 7 Days 6 Nights Off-the-Beaten-Path Itinerary Guide
Just got back from Malaysia, took an unusual off-the-beaten-path route, traveling north from Malacca to Penang, exploring and wandering along the way. Besides the cities with Southeast Asian charm, there was also the freedom of durian orchards. This visa-free country is really too tempting. Sharing a less-traveled route suitable for the whole family.
·
D1: Shanghai - Kuala Lumpur - Malacca
D2: Malacca - Broga Orchard Hill (Durian Orchard) - Kuala Lumpur
D3: Batu Caves - Ipoh Sunway Lost World of Tambun - Ipoh
D4: Ipoh - Taiping Lake Gardens - Kuala Kurau - Penang
D5: Penang Day Tour
D6: Penang - Kuala Lumpur
D7: Kuala Lumpur - Sepang HL Dragon Fruit Farm - Kuala Lumpur Airport - Shanghai
·
Penang:
Compared to Kuala Lumpur, I prefer the world heritage site of Penang, which features a mix of Southeast Asian, Muslim, Chinese, and Indian architecture. The strong cultural atmosphere, interesting graffiti in the alleys, and the dazzling markets are all reasons why I like this old city. Although there are quite a few Michelin-starred restaurants in Penang, I still recommend saving some room in your stomach for the night market snacks!
Malacca:
Also a world heritage site, Malacca is a bit more colorful. After visiting the Baba-Nyonya Heritage Museum, I finally understood the origins of the Peranakans and learned more about the history of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas.
Ipoh:
Malaysia's little Guilin, a small town in the mountains, with lots of delicious food. Saw a Malayan tapir at the Sunway Lost World of Tambun in Ipoh! So cute~
Must Eat Durian:
How can you come to Malaysia and not eat durian! The durians in Kuala Lumpur, the dragon fruits in Sepang, and the pomelos in Ipoh are all delicacies not to be missed~
Tips:
1. Malaysia is visa-free, with no time difference from China, and flights to Kuala Lumpur are very convenient.
2. There are super many wild animals, hornbills and monkeys can be seen in the parks. Please do not feed them randomly to protect the ecology.

Lost World of Tambun Theme Park
A nice theme park suitable children of all ages. It’s value for money as you have access to the water theme park and also the rest of the rides and mini zoo. You can easily spend a full day there! They are very strict in food items or even personal water bottle and it’s not allow in the theme park. Try to keep it light and easy as you can easily get food and drinks within the theme park. Ample parking available right outside the park, so for those who drive need not worry. Overall we had a great time there.#perak #sunway #mymymemories

The water park is amazing, with a wide variety of water slides and pools to choose from. I had so much fun splashing around and trying out all the different rides.
Another highlight of my visit was the ghost house. Although I'm not normally a fan of scary stuff, I have to admit that this ghost house was one of the coolest I've ever been to. The atmosphere is spooky and eerie, and the decor is spot on. I was thoroughly impressed by how much thought and effort went into making this a truly memorable experience.
The cat house is another must-see attraction at the Lost World of Tambun. I absolutely loved spending time with all the cute and cuddly cats, and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The cultural and animal performances are also top-notch and provide a great opportunity to see some truly talented performers in action.

The Haven All Suite Resort, Ipoh
#newyearadventure The Haven is a real haven. Went with our kids and they loved it. Cried all the way back to Penang wanting to go back to Ipoh.
The location itself is so unique. Nestled between the mountains with a lake in the middle.
You can spend one day just exploring the hotel that includes Walking tracks, amphitheater, hiking trails.
There's a junior playroom as well but the kids were busy with the walking track and swimming pool.
Lots of places to get stunning pictures.
