“Walking outside the mall / building down the street in dense fog with atmosphere on the face was the best part. Gondola ride, though not comparable to what we find in Switzerland was enjoyable as well. The Chinese temple tour was nice. I suggest making this a 9-hr. event to help tourists breathe a bit easier. Else the rush kills some of the fun.”

Additionally, we found there was not enough time we could spend at the Genting Outlet or theme park as our driver said we had to meet back at 3pm.
