2/5 - Disappointing
Rick
23 Mar 2020Although easy to get around using either bus and/or taxi, during my stay there was a two week movement lockdown ( MCO ) to control the Covid-19 outbreak in Malaysia. This meant many usual spots for tourists and shopping were closed.
5/5 - Excellent
JenniferWillcox
14 Mar 2020This is such an interesting and unique town - great to just look around and explore. But on a hot day, it is tiring to walk everywhere, carrying shopping. A free little bus just going around the city streets, hop on hop off, would be great.
5/5 - Excellent
