Getting
To Kuala Lumpur
ABOUT KUALA LUMPUR
Kuala
Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia. From its centralised position
which spans 243.6 sq. kilometres, this ultra-modern nerve
centre of Malaysia expands outwards to embrace the world.
Discovering
KL (as locals affectionately call it) is like travelling through
a time tunnel. Here, vivid traces of history continue to influence
and inspire a country set on becoming a fully industrialised
nation by the year 2020. You will see ultra-modern skysrapers
standing magnificently next to rows and rows of quaint old
shophouses. Haute cuisine beside hawker stalls.
To
the avid shopper KL, is paradise. From world-renowned designer
labels and brands to exquisite made-in-Malaysia items, the
highly competitive environment that exists among traders is
a blessing in disguise to shoppers. While department retail
establishments or at any one of KL's famous night markets.
KL will enthrall you. It will capture your heart and mind
in a way no other city will.
Kuala
Lumpur had its origin as a shanty mining outpost for the tin
trade in the 1800s at the confluence of the Gombak and Klang
River. Today, KL as it is popularly known, is a bustling metropolis,
the federal capital of Malaysia and the principal centre of
commerce, politic, entertainment and international activities.
The
city skyline is rapidly changing and presently boast the world's
tallest building, the magnificient Petronas Twin Tower at
452 meters. Another architectural wonder is the world's forth
tallest communication tower, the Menara Kuala Lumpur. Despite
all the urbanization process actively dominating the city,
Kuala Lumpur has managed to still retain its old world charm
depicted in the majestic buildings of the colonial era and
the quaint pre-war shophouses.
Thank You.
