Shuhe KL Travel Guidebook
City/town information
A This one is great– I’ve been travelling as part of a couple for a very long time now and one of the most important things I’ve learned is how important it is to have a room spray with you. A hotel room can be a very small space and you don’t always have the luxury of allowing the, ahem, ‘air to clear,’ while getting ready and sharing a bathroom (or after a dodgy vindaloo). I always put a small bottle of air freshener in my luggage, just to make life more bearable for everyone involved. as it’s non-aerosol and very strong.
With its warm weather, Kuala Lumpur is a great destination pretty much all year-round. That said, you’ll find the wetter months to be March to April and September to November. Peak season tends to be May through August and December through February. It’ll be hot and humid during these times, but storms tend to cool things down a bit. Prepare to get hot and sweaty if you’re walking around and always be prepared for a sudden storm (don’t worry, they don’t usually last all day, it’s more of a sudden, crazy storm followed by fine weather).
1. You’re going to need to haggle

Những gì cần đóng gói
Pack lots of light, breathable clothing options
The heat and humidity in Kuala Lumpur can be really intense, so it’s important you pack clothing that will help you stay cool. There’s a significant Muslim community in Malaysia so please dress and behave in a culturally respectful way (i.e. be mindful of showing cleavage, wearing super short-shorts and exposed midriffs etc). It’s just part of being a good human and culturally respectful traveller.
Những gì cần đóng gói
Comfortable footwear
You’ll most likely be doing a LOT of walking so it’s important you wear sensible shoes that are very comfortable. I’d recommend packing a pair of sneakers or converse-style shoes as well as flats and sandals.
Những gì cần đóng gói
Swimwear
Be sure to put your swimwear in your suitcase so you can take full of advantage of your hotel pool if you have one. Don’t forget to pack aqua-ear medicine, goggles, swimming cap or whatever else it is you usually like to swim with.
Những gì cần đóng gói
SunSmart gear
You’ll need sunglasses and you should pack a hat and sunscreen with high SPF. Remember, sunscreen is only as good as its user and it’s up to you to reapply during the day to ensure you don’t get burned. It may sound odd, but it’s important to be sun smart and just because you can’t see the sun doesn’t mean UV rays aren’t getting through the clouds.
Những gì cần đóng gói
Day bag
Pack a smaller backpack or day bag you can throw all your gear into for day trips (camera, water bottle, umbrella etc). Just be sure to take a bag you can secure to your body, like a backpack with two over-the-shoulder straps, as there have been cases of bag snatching in Kuala Lumpur. We didn’t see this or feel unsafe, but that could be because we took those safety precautions into consideration.
