| Useful Tips |

How to avoid crowds is "going the other way." Specifically, it is to avoid the rush hours of most people going out, the periods with the most crowds, and the routes everyone will take. For example, there are many famous sightseeing spots around Kuala Lumpur. Tourists will definitely go to Genting Highlands, the mirror of the sky, etc. Every time there is a holiday, there will be traffic jams, and these attractions will be full of people. However, it is recommended that passengers can choose more local classic hidden routes such as Ipoh, Malacca, Penang, take a leisurely stroll in a quiet environment, fully enjoy the good times and authentic cuisine, do not have a flavor.
