Tips for Chinese New Year Travel in Malaysia

• Secure Your Malaysia Tour Well in Advance|
  During the Chinese New Year, Malaysians often travel simultaneously, causing heavy traffic across the country. To ensure a relaxed festive experience, book your Malaysia tour well in advance.
• Note Shop and Restaurant Closures
  In the initial three days of the lunar new year, most shops and restaurants shut down as locals celebrate at home or visit temples. Plan your activities accordingly during this festive period.
• Be Mindful of the Weather
  While popular cities like Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Langkawi are generally dry in January, expect some rain during CNY 2024 (February 10th). Pack an umbrella to stay prepared for unexpected showers.
• Adhere to the Festival Dress Code
  Wear a set of new clothes, avoiding any intentional tears or wear, as part of the Chinese New Year tradition. Opt for red attire for good luck and prosperity or golden clothes symbolizing luxury and wealth, aligning with New Year's values.
