Strolling through the streets of Malaysia, exotic charm greets you at every turn, and in the next moment, your heart is completely won over

Malaysia's visa-free policy is here! This 7-day Malaysia travel guide is a must-have, taking you to explore two classic destinations: Kuala Lumpur + Semporna. You can even pack one less sun-protective clothing since the indoor air conditioning is super strong 😂 🚗 Itinerary: **Day 1: Exploring Kuala Lumpur City** 📍 Snap a photo at the Petronas Twin Towers (best visited at dusk for stunning night views) 📍 Hunt for souvenirs at Central Market (remember to bargain!) 📍 Feast at Petaling Street (highly recommend the iced coffee at Lai Foong Coffee Shop) **Day 2: Half-Day Trip to Putrajaya** 📍 Pink Mosque (women need to wear robes to enter) 📍 Putra Square (perfect for architectural photography) **Day 3: Time-Travel in Malacca** 📍 Stadthuys (great for wedding photos) 📍 Jonker Street (night market on Wed-Sat is super lively) 📍 Masjid Selat Melaka (breathtaking at sunset) **Day 4: Fly to Semporna** ⚠️ Reminder: Pre-book airport transfers—Grab is hard to get in Tawau **Day 5: First Day of Island Hopping** 📍 Tun Sakaran Marine Park (wear sports shoes if hiking) 📍 Mantabuan Island (sea turtles visible while snorkeling) **Day 6: Mataking Three-Island Tour** 📍 Mataking Island (famous for its long sandbar) 📍 Timba-Timba Island (pristine white sand) 📍 Pom Pom Island (high chance of spotting starfish) **Day 7: Last-Minute Rush** Squeeze in a morning trip to the seafood market to bargain for lobster (on-site cooking is super cheap) 🍜 Must-Try Foods: Grilled chicken wings at Jalan Alor (go for Wong Ah Wah) Sun Hong Muk Kut Teh (rich herbal flavor) Fat Mother Seafood in Semporna (butter tiger prawns are a must) 💡 My Hard-Earned Tips: 1. **Don’t exchange money at the airport!** City rates are much better. 2. Ride-hailing is half the price of taxis. 3. Book Semporna resorts at least 2 months in advance. 4. No flying within 18 hours after diving. 5. Ask if durian is allowed on transport before buying.
