Day 8 : Shanghai - Hong Kong - KLIA
Today is our final day in Shanghai . Our flight to Hong Kong will be at 1220 hrs . We will transit to Hong Kong for 1 hours and soon after that we will take another flight to KLIA . For return back to Hong Kong and to Malaysia , we are also using Cathay Pacific as our flight carrier .
We moving out from our hotel at 0900 hrs . For info the location of our hotel is not very far from Shanghai International Airport , it is just 20 min drives . The airport known as Pudong International airport . Same like Beijing International airport , this airport also very huge and one of the busiest in the world .
Our check in progress very smooth . None of us been charged for excess luggage . Before departure , once again we have a last group photo . We believed that once in Hong Kong and back to Malaysia , we are either really rushing to embrace other families member who are waiting at the airport or rushing to catch up taxi getting back home . For us , we will stayed one night again at the same YouniQ hotel , KLIA and the next morning at 0900 hrs, we will take another flight ( MAS ) to Kuantan for our home sweet home . Alhamdulillah , we really enjoyed our holiday and back to our home safely .
On my opinion going for holiday using travel agent :
1. The trip is much more organised .
2. Solat , you have an advantage of performed it at the dedicated mosque .
3. Foods arrangement . All are halals . Had the opportunity exploring halal restaurant in the area .
4. Getting to know new friends and families .
5 For POTO Travel , as tour leader , Hj Damanhuri as the representative and act as little ambassador for the company , had shows his good commitment . This proved that this is the travel agent that I might choose for my next holiday if I'm using travel agent again .

Day 9 : KLIA - Kuantan
Flight back to Kuantan and then drove back to Kemaman . BYE BYE ... will share with your all again on another trip for the year of 2014 . Destination ? Still not yet decided . Any proposal ?????
My trip observation :
1. Beijing is really a big city . Most of the building are new, modern and fast growing . There are so many tourist especially at the forbidden city . From what I see in media for the past few years , the people in Beijing used a lot of bicycle but nowadays you can see a lot of car especially European made ie Audi and Volkswagen .
2. Most of our itenaries for our tour included government shops which our tourist guide said this is compulsory as win win situation , as the result the cost of ground tour charged much more cheaper . I believed the tourist guide will be given commision based on that . I think this is a good idea since most of the tourist will spends money and generated more income to the government and offcourse the agent !
3. Public toilet ! This is something at the negative side . Always bring empty bottle to "wash" yourself .
4. According to Amin and Mrs Mary , recently , there are a lot of Malaysian coming for their holidays in China . Most of the china people like Malaysian coz we like to spends @ shoppings and most of us are friendlier ! Don't be surprised most of the salesgirl can speak " little " Malays .
5. If you travel on your own . The cost of public transport is very cheap especially the subway and train . But be careful with the taxi ! For special visit ie Great Wall , Forbidden city , Summer Palace ... you can browse through the internet and read from other blogger to choose the reliable travel agent for ground arrangement only .
6. Sometime you can see they are very "pushy" , "aggressive" and have a creative ideas for good "marketing strategy" when they want to sell something ! But bear in mind to be always firm with your decision and be professional while facing the situation . Actually they are fighting for their "survival " and "competing "each other .... as you know there are billions of Chinese in great China .
7. Shanghai is also fast growing city . It is known as financial city . Shanghai is much more westernized compared to Beijing .
8. Both city , Beijing and Shanghai , the people are fashionable . Now , since past few years China government make an open door policy , you can now realized that they are already far infront of us interm of civilization and technology .... and they are as good as American and European ! or may be better !!
