Starting from July 17th, China and Malaysia have officially entered the "visa-free era"!
In 2024, 3.726 million Chinese tourists flocked to Malaysia, firmly ranking as the largest source of visitors outside ASEAN. In the first five months of this year, the number has exceeded 1.8 million. Direct flights between the two countries are being rapidly increased, allowing even second and third-tier cities to achieve "morning departure and evening arrival". Malaysia has a strong Chinese atmosphere, where Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien are widely spoken. The neon lights of Kuala Lumpur, the murals of Penang, the ancient city of Malacca and the blue sea with silver sand—every shot taken here is like a wonderful 南洋 (Nanyang/Southeast Asian) blockbuster.
At 15:00 on July 31st, the high-energy live broadcast special of Convergent C-Talk【Charming Malaysia】will start. Malaysia's top hotels will appear in the live broadcast room with hidden gifts. Scan the QR code to make an appointment and lock your seat. Let's fully enjoy the visa-free benefits and include the most popular destination of 2025 in our next journey!
The newly unveiled M Social Resort Penang in 2025 is situated along the prime coastal line of Tanjung Bungah, Penang. All 318 guest rooms face the sea and come with private balconies, offering unobstructed views of the Andaman sunset at the push of a window.
The hotel boldly blends retro Peranakan color blocks with contemporary graffiti art, making every corner a perfect photo spot. The infinity pool is just a wooden boardwalk away from the beach, and the floating bridge photo spot has become an Instagram sensation. The AI room butler speaks Mandarin, providing 24/7 "instant response" services such as meal delivery, lighting adjustment, and car booking. Its three restaurants feature a fusion of Penang street flavors and international creative cuisine, where Peranakan laksa and Spanish paella compete for attention on the same menu.
What's even more appealing is the free shuttle bus that takes only 10 minutes to reach George Town's Mural Street and Batu Ferringhi Night Market. Guests can also enjoy priority access to attractions like the Floating Mosque and Straits Quay Marina, truly enabling a seamless transition between "relaxing at the hotel" and "exploring attractions".

Hard Rock Hotel Penang is located on the golden beach of Batu Ferringhi. All 250 guest rooms come with a balcony, offering a stunning sea view as soon as you open the door. Equipped with BOSE speakers and 50-inch IPTV, the rooms allow you to enjoy a private concert at any time.
The hotel has turned its lobby into a rock museum, where over 500 original guitars, stage costumes and gold records of superstars are within reach. Guests can book a "Music Memorabilia Tour" for an in-depth experience.
The largest curved swimming pool in Penang, spanning 26,000 square feet, runs through the resort. It is equipped with water slides, a poolside bar and a children's water park, enabling families with kids to enjoy a one-stop water fun experience. At night, the live band at Hard Rock Café transforms the beach into an open-air live house in seconds. The hotel also provides exclusive passes, allowing guests to enter for free and enjoy themselves until the early morning.

The iconic Marjorie, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, which opened in 2024, is just 3 kilometers from Penang International Airport, with a 12-minute drive, yet it can instantly switch into a vacation mode.
Blending Peranakan totems with Art Deco lines, the hotel stands as Penang's only "inhabitable gallery". All 298 guest rooms are equipped with Nespresso machines, free minibars, and screen-mirroring smart TVs, with some room types offering direct views of the city skyline.
The rooftop infinity pool and Senses Bar are connected to form a 270° observation deck, where cocktails paired with sea views during sunset have become a social media sensation. Tiffin Hall, the all-day dining restaurant, presents laksa, toast, and Western buffets side by side. The 24-hour in-room dining service ensures that even late-night snacks can be "Penang-flavored".
