Discover Malaysia: 9 Must-See Photos & Essential Travel Tips 📸

I took a trip to Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia during the holiday [WowR]. I captured the cityscapes and seaside sunsets, experienced a different cultural atmosphere, and it felt really great~

✈️Travel Preparation
1⃣ Documents: No visa required! Bring your passport with a validity of more than 6 months, fill out the Malaysian Electronic Arrival Card (MDAC) online 3 days before departure, and just scan your passport upon entry.
2⃣ SIM Card: Buy a Malaysian SIM card online in advance and switch it on after landing.

3⃣ Payment:
▫️ Online Payment: Most places accept Alipay.
▫️ Cash: Cannot be exchanged domestically, only in Malaysia (can use UnionPay card at ATMs or exchange RMB cash at manual exchange points).
4⃣ Apps: Google Translate, Google Maps, Grab for rides.
5⃣ Insurance: Don’t skimp on overseas travel insurance when traveling abroad!

Every time I go abroad, I buy the [Worry-Free Overseas Travel Insurance] on Alipay. It covers various high-risk incidents during the journey, providing comprehensive protection [WowR].
✅ Sufficient Delay/Change Coverage: 300 RMB compensation for every 4 hours of travel delay, 500 RMB for every 6 hours of baggage delay, and up to 20,000 RMB coverage for travel changes due to force majeure.

As Malaysia has a lot of rainy seasons and unpredictable weather, the risk of flight delays is high. Buying insurance in advance can reduce many losses.
✅ High Medical Expense Coverage: Up to 1 million RMB compensation for travel accident medical expenses, with 1 RMB overcompensation. The alternating cold and hot weather in Southeast Asia, plus the local cold drinks and seafood, can easily cause discomfort.

If you need medical treatment, you don’t have to worry about medical expenses, as the cost of continued treatment back home is also covered.
✅ Comprehensive Special Coverage: 600,000 RMB coverage for high-risk sports accidents, and 7*24-hour emergency rescue. If you plan to dive or surf, you don’t need to buy additional insurance and can enjoy with peace of mind.

Search for [Overseas Travel Insurance] on Alipay (see P4-5 for application steps). For Malaysia, choose the 600,000 RMB Asian version. Insuring with family and friends gets an 88% discount, costing only 89.76 RMB per person for 8 days, which is extremely cost-effective.
