Kuala Lumpur, or better known to the locals as KL, lies along the West Coast
of Peninsular Malaysia. It is the heartbeat of Malaysia and serves as a
cultural, commercial and transportation centre. This can be seen in the vast
number of developments that have been cultivated in the past few years, and
most of these can be found in KL.
For example, visitors will surely know of the Petronas Towers. When it was
first completed in 1998, it was the world’s tallest building and offers one
of the most spectacular views in the world. Visitors can travel to the 41st
floor to the Skybridge where the two towers of the building connect. But as
a warning to those who want to see the skyline from the highest point in the
city – there is a set quota of visitors allowed per day, so a visit by 9am
will be called for if they want to experience the spectacular views of one
of the tallest buildings in the world.
Another factor that draws travellers from all over is the mosques. One of
the most delightful of the many that can be seen in KL is the Masjid Jamek.
Masjid Jamek was set in a grove of palm trees in 1907 where the tranquil
onion domes and minarets of pink and cream make it a perfect place of
worship. It is here where visitors to the city can experience the ultimate
beauty of the city not only in the sense of the physical, but also in the
rich cultural heritage it holds.
Another jump of time will see visitors visit the many world-class museums
available in the city. While Europe is the place famous for a diverse range
of offerings in museums, KL looks to be an up-and-coming on the list. The
Islamic Arts Museum gives strangers to the local faith an insight into the
culture, and all within the spacious and dazzlingly white domed building.
The National Art Gallery also shows an offering of Malaysian culture with
works by contemporary Malaysian artists displaying their works alongside
fellow Asian and international art.
Of course, for those who tire of buildings, they can always head to the
beautiful Lake Gardens. The 92-hectare manicured gardens are the home of a
butterfly park, planetarium, insect museum, walk-in aviary, orchid garden
and hibiscus garden. The beautiful natural surrounds will be a relaxing
break from the hustle and bustle of the city before they head back into the
wonderfully diverse fray.
And with a crazy array of street vendors and night markets along the streets
of KL, the city is sure to pack a punch whether it is the first or the nth
visit to the vibrant city. Visitors are sure to share the vivacious love
that Malaysians have for their capital and the exquisite mix of history,
culture and contemporary life that they way. And it is most likely that they
will just want to come back for more.
