Part 1 ~ Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Hello!
For our next trip, I will show you a well known place in Malaysia, which is Kuala Lumpur (KL)!
Kuala Lumpur is the capital and the second largest city in of Malaysia.Let us start our tour with the famous skyscraper in KL, that is The Petronas Twin Tower also known as Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC)!

These twin wonders, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, contain a complex of office buildings, conference halls, a sprawling 50-acre park and an upmarket shopping complex. The buildings primarily house the corporate headquarters of the PETRONAS Company and are joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175 metres above street level) by a 58-metre long double-decker Sky Bridge.

The Aquaria KLCC is an underwater park located within KLCC. It houses over 250 different species and over 20,000 land and aquatic animals from Malaysia and around the world.

Along with the Petronas Twin Towers, Menara Kuala Lumpur is easily Malaysia’s most recognizable and popular landmark. Constructed in 1994, the tower stands at 421 metres and effortlessly trumps the Petronas Twin Towers with the highest and most spectacular view of the city. This gleaming tower’s spindle-like apex is visible from almost anywhere in Kuala Lumpur.

Chinatown is also a well-known bargain hunter’s paradise, a place where you can find all sorts of stuff from Chinese herbs to imitation goods. At night, its main market area, Petaling Street, transforms into a lively and vibrant market, filled with hundreds of stalls offering all kinds of goods at dirt-cheap prices, and the best thing is, the prices can be brought lower still as haggling is the way of life here.

Located approximately 11 kilometres to the north of KualaLumpur, Batu Caves is a limestone hill comprising three major caves and a number of smaller ones. Considered one of Kuala Lumpur’s most frequented tourist attractions, this 100-year-old temple features idols and statues erected inside the main caves and around it. Incorporated with interior limestone formations said to be around 400 million years old, the temple is considered an important religious landmark by Hindus.

A seemingly different world, Brickfields, the site of the recently relocated Little India, was originally a simple residential neighbourhood situated just outside central Kuala Lumpur.This wide thoroughfare plays host to a vast collection of Indian stores and restaurants run by Malaysia’s Indian community. The strip of Indian shops – retailing traditional Indian goods including saris, flower garlands and Bollywood music – happen to be one of Kuala Lumpur’s trademark tourist hotspots.





Located along Jalan Hang Kasturi – only a few minutes away from Petaling Street-is the renowned Central Market.

Also known as Pasar Seni, this market is one of Kuala Lumpur’s most familiar landmarks as well as a popular tourist attraction.

You can find an assortment of merchandise here that ranges from handicrafts and souvenirs to authentic Malaysian batik prints.




Located at the northern end of Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, Chow Kit is acknowledged as one of Malaysia’s most infamous landmarks. Even though it may not be as well known by tourists in comparison to its starlet cousin, Petaling Street – which is located within the same area – it is definitely exciting although not for the faint hearted.
