This time we focus on neighboring Malaysia. Masahito Dobashi of the Osaka branch of Overseas Travel, which runs Singapore Airlines holidays in Japan, cites “diversity” as its appeal. Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country where you can enjoy beaches, nature, food, shopping and walking around town.

The time difference is one hour, and the price is about one-third lower than in Japan. Ranked #1 in the world by the Long Stay Foundation for 11 consecutive years. As a multi-ethnic country, the cuisine is also rich and diverse, with restaurants of various styles such as “Malay cuisine”, “Chinese cuisine”, “Nyonya cuisine” and “Indian cuisine”.

Regarding the capital Kuala Lumpur, popularly known as “KL”, we will introduce the pleasure of walking around the city called “Jalan Jalan”. We especially recommend the Bukit Bintang area, which has a lot of shopping malls from local brands to luxury brands, and a lot of hotels, even for first-timers.

The standard sightseeing spot in Kuala Lumpur is “Kuala Lumpur Tower”, which has an observation deck with a height of 421m and a position of 300m, which is quite scary. “He introduced.

In addition, there is also “Central Market”, a colonial-style building built in 1888, recommended for those who want to buy in bulk, planning to spend an elegant time at Ritz-Carlton’s afternoon tea, taking advantage of the cheap price, recommended from the hotel The sky bar to see the night view of the Petronas Twin Towers.

Next, I will introduce Penang Island. It is described as “an island with beaches and world heritage”, especially the Georgetown downtown area, which is registered as a world cultural heritage along with Malacca. ’ and conveyed that characteristic.

Well, compare Penang Island to the shape of a turtle, the airport is on the right hind leg of the turtle, 15 to 20 minutes away from George Town is on the right front leg of the turtle, and 30 minutes away from the right front leg of the turtle. “Tanjung Bunga”.

And the “Penang must-eat” I introduced is Penang’s special dish “Char Kueteo” and desserts “Assam Laksa” and “Cendol”. Also, when walking around the city, I would like to invite you to try a rickshaw called a “trishaw”.

George Town attractions include 15 wall paintings and 51 line paintings. Within a 20-minute walk of the “Peranakan Mansion” and Harmony Street, you can experience the charm of different religions such as Penang’s oldest church, Guanyin Temple, Hindu temples, and mosques.

Another location launched on Penang Island is the Batu Ferringhi area, where you can enjoy shopping in an area lined with resort hotels such as Shangri-La Rasasayang, Lone Pine and Golden Sands. Put a price on it when you shop, and you’ll lose money. ” Among them, the recommended Shangri-La Rasasayang has a rich breakfast menu, and it is recommended that “there are many desserts, please stay at least 3 nights and eat all the dishes.” “

At the end of the topic of Penang Island, we introduced “THE TOP”, which opened in December 2016. It is a commercial facility built on the landmark Komtar of Penang Island. In addition to museums and restaurants, there is also an attraction that walks on the glass floor on the top floor.
