Revisiting Kuala Lumpur City

5 Days Impromptu Itinerary in Rainy Malaysia
November 19 to November 23, 2015


This was my 2nd time visited Kuala Lumpur City, first time in January 2011 with Singapore trip. But that time, I only visited on half-day from morning and the places I visited were going inside Petronas Towers, KL Tower and Batu Cave. On this 2nd visit, I visited them by night and some of the landmarks I missed.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT KUALA LUMPUR CITY:

1. Merdeka Square, the House of Parliament, the National Museum,the National Palace (Istana Negara), the Central Market, the Petaling Street, the Kuala Lumpur Tower, the National Monument,the Jamek Mosque and Batu Caves are some of the major tourist destinations in Kuala Lumpur.
2. City’s cultural diversity, historical attractions, avant-guard technology, and low cost lifestyle are the main reasons that drive tourism.
3. Kuala Lumpur has been rated as alpha world city.
4. The construction of famous Petronas Towers completed in 1998 and they remained at the first position as world’s tallest building for 6 years, until the Taipei 101 was built in 2004. One of the twin towers was build by the Japanese (Hazama Corp) while the other was build by the Koreans (Samsung). The Japanese made tower of the Petronas structures has a construction fault of 25mm tilt while the tower made by Koreans is absolutely leveled.
