Here are a few destinations that you can refer to when planning this city travel:
Visit Petronas Twin Towers
Famous as the tallest twin towers in the world, Petronas has a height of 1,500 meters. There are thousands of visitors come to this tower every day to take pictures with the Malaysian symbol. And not only that, you can also enjoy the panoramic view of the city from the bridge connecting the two towers. The cost to enter the tower is about 85 MYR. However, the number of tickets is limited and usually runs out very quickly, so you need to be at the twin towers early to get the tickets.
Kuala Lumpur's bustling markets
Come to the local markets to feel the joyful, bustling atmosphere and the truest things in the lives of local people. These markets are full of electronics, food, clothing, and accessories. The most prominent is the central market, Jl Petaling market in Chinatown, the night markets ‘Pasar Tani’ and ‘Pasar Malam’.
Explore diverse cuisine
Taste the food - Indian, Malay and western China, all available in Kuala Lumpur. The mix of multicultural society in Kuala Lumpur creates the diversity of Kuala Lumpur's cuisine. The roadside stalls are a great place to enjoy street food here. Especially the "small" areas like Little India and Chinatown. With a wealth of culture, history and “esoteric” spices, it's no surprise that Little India and Chinatown serve as great food at equally great prices.
Join Thaipusam
This is a festival based on Hindu religion and usually happens during the full moon in February. Each year, more than a million of locals and thousands of tourists flock to the Batu Caves to join the nine-mile parade.
Kuala Lumpur is one of the most distinctive cities in Southeast Asia. Not only because of the bustle, entertaining experiences or famous sightseeing areas near and far, this city also attracts visitors by the vitality inside every corner and area of the city.
