    A fun and engaging aquarium right under the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, perfect for a family outing or city exploration stop. You’ll walk through a long underwater tunnel with sharks, rays and lots of marine life swimming overhead, plus see varied exhibits featuring fish, turtles, jellyfish and more. It’s well-designed and educational, with feeding shows and interactive areas adding to the experience. Some visitors find the ticket price a bit high, but most agree it’s worth it if you enjoy sea creatures and indoor attractions in KL

    Very easy - scan the QR code in the app for entry. Super fun place!! However I only managed to do 3 rides because of the long waiting time! In fact one of the rides had a waiting time of 40 minutes but I waited almost double that amount in the line. Best to download Genting Skyworlds app and book a virtual queue for the rides. I also managed to catch a fun show!

    Personally, yes. Everyone should visit Zoo Negara at least once. Not just for outing but you can gain knowledge you never expected from some animals, such as there's a crocodile than can climb trees and an animal that smell like popcorn. The cafe and restaurant might be a bit expensive for some so I advice to eat firsthand before coming and bring your own drinking bottle later refill for free at the reptile zone. Put on your best walking shoes (cos you'll be walking A LOT) and enjoy your trip!

    One of the best things of Batu Caves is the free entrance for the main temple (Temple Cave/ Cathedral Cave)! For Cave Villa, the entrance fee for Malaysians and non-Malaysians are RM7 and RM15 respectively.

    This was a nearly perfect trip. With the insurance premium of 2,260 yuan, we achieved a cost of more than 4,000 yuan. Usually, there are time limits for one-day and half-day tours, but buying a package ticket on Ctrip broke the time limit. The staff member who connected with Ctrip's Sky Mirror was a little sister. She was beautiful and kind, and provided thoughtful service. She helped to provide pick-up and drop-off for our tour guide Akai. He was thoughtful and professional, and was especially good at guiding children. He took us hiking in the mangroves and gave us an in-depth understanding of the mangrove ecology. If the children can communicate in English, they can also discuss and communicate with the English tour guide in the scenic area. When the children were tired, they were like big brothers. We encouraged them, and the time for Sekinchan, the fishing boats in the fishing village, and the wishing tree was perfect. The kids loved eating, so we took them to a special mango meal. Worried about being late for feeding eagles and watching fireflies, we took a detour. He was a very professional driver and guide. The kids wanted to eat roadside squid, and he found it for them regardless of time. The Sky Mirror trip was perfect and a place worth visiting. The photos we took were absolutely beautiful. I'd like to express my special thanks to the attentive and considerate young lady, the professional Akai, and the boat crew who took us on the boat trip. I'm especially grateful to the Sky Mirror photographer, who is truly professional!
