ι£ηΏηθΎ£θΎ£:βThere were far fewer people than at amusement parks in China, and the variety of activities was incredibly rewarding. I spent a full day there, feeling very fulfilled. The zip lines and water activities were quite long, but not too intense, as anyone aged four and above can enjoy them.
For Chinese people who aren't used to Malay food, try Sister Xia's Northeastern stir-fried dishes at Changyuan Food Court (a food stall) near Batu Ferringhi Beach. While they're quite salty, the flavors are truly Chinese.β
