the skyway shopping arcade is the first thing you will see upon reaching the Genting Highlands when you take the Genting Skyway (the awana skyway goes to the awana hotel) and hence you will be bombarded with images and an assortment of shop and eatieries upon walking away from the skyway gondolas. The Skywy shopping arcade is way smaller than the First World Plaza but it has some nice choices for the shopper but you can always ignore it and just proceed to the Highlands hotel entrance to get the shuttle or taxi to and from your hotels.

What to buy: there are lots of choices here but again it has less stores than first world plaza and the establishment include:

the First World Plaza is the largest shopping area of the Genting Highlands Complex hence most of the people visiting the Genting Highlands usually go here to shop or dine or do other activites like riding the various rides of the indoor theme park. You will see various food courts and snacks, assorted local stores selling local souvenir items and local handicrafts, assorted restaurants plus the indoor theme park, a cineplex, a Watersplash Pool (an indoor water theme park for children), Genting Sky Venture (a skydiving simulator), Starworld casino (yes I love to gamble hehehe but this is smaller than Casino de Genting at Genting Hotel), bowling center, Genting International Convention Center, the Pavilion (for local and international acts performing in it), Haunted Adventure and a Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum so Need I say more?

What to buy: depends on what you like for example buying souvenirs like refrigerator magnets for RM 8 and shot glasses at RM 9 and eating at the food courts, buying local crafts or just plain malling.

The variety and arrangement of tidbits at this shop is eye-catching. This is the first time I see 'tidbits mountains'.

What to buy: It is not really cheap to buy from here and since all are available for tasting, you should buy small portions of your favourite tidbits just to satisfy your craving temporary.

There are many small shops along the walkways at the indoor theme park which sell small and cute items, especially for women and childeren. They are worth checking out, considering that you can bargain and the favourable currency exchange rate of the Malaysian dollar.

The indoor theme park at the First World Hotel also consists of many shops, ranging from clothings, shoes, electronics etc (just like a shopping centre). There is a shop near to the indoor ferris wheel (I cannot remember its name) which sells many beautiful soft toys and embroidery items such as pillows, table cloths, tissue box covers, photo frames etc. It is very popular and you should check it out when you are there. I have taken a few photos of this shop (see attached).
