“As Malaysia’s premier shopping destination, Pavilion KL is always looking to elevate the experience for shoppers, visitors and tourists. Today, we uphold an auspicious tradition to usher in the new year and support Visit Malaysia 2020. In preparation of this exhilarating new year for Malaysia, we have already entered into a number of strategic partnerships to deliver extra value to our visitors, and we are very excited to share them in 2020”, says Dato’ Joyce Yap, CEO of Retail, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

“The hospitality and generosity of people here is spectacular,” said Matthew. “This is what I absolutely love about China – after travelling 3,000km on bikes to a village we’ve never heard of, we were on a boat with a local villager to get some oysters.”

“We just wanted to show people what Northern China is like,” said Winston. “When people travel around China, they usually fly or take the high-speed rail or travel in a car or bus on the highway. 

But it’s boring – it’s a straight shot to your destination, you don’t stop anywhere. For us, we were forced to take little roads, went into villages and got lost but I think we’ve shown people a part of China no one has ever seen before.”

“I didn’t expect that I would come across so many different types of people in Northern China. All the different cultures and minorities and languages that we got a glimpse of was absolutely incredible. 

The people that we met were some of the nicest and most generous people we’ve ever met,” added Matthew. “This trip has made me fall in love with China all over again.”
