Travel notes

  1. 01

    Lunar New Year (Jan/Feb) and National Day (Oct) are the two spikes to avoid.

  2. 02

    Late autumn (November) has crisp weather and the year's lowest fares.

  3. 03

    Pudong Maglev to the city: 8 minutes, 431 km/h, worth it once.

visa for Malaysians: visa-free — always double check before flying
