It took the people of Kuala Lumpur just 150 years to transform a small village into today's thriving metropolis. Today, it's like a magnet for those who want to see the 'other' Asia.
Kuala Lumpur's attractions are concentrated mainly in the central part of the capital.
Menara Tower is 421 meters high. Legend has it that during the construction of this unique high-rise, architects preserved a large tree at the edge of the excavation. "In gratitude", today it has grown into a jungle at the foot of the mirror giant.
Petronas Twin Towers. The twin towers take center stage on the Kuala Lumpur sightseeing map for a reason. A number of innovative architectural solutions were implemented in their construction, from the completion of the steel spires to the creation of a unique "sky bridge" observation deck over the city.
The Palace of Sultan Istana Negara.In the photo of Kuala Lumpur attractions, the royal residence is presented together with a park complex with endless flower beds, lawns and branching groves. In front of the palace, you can watch the ceremonial changing of the ceremonial guard.
The Batu Caves, which are over 400 million years old, are perhaps one of the most famous names of Kuala Lumpur's landmarks. Ceremonies according to Tamil traditions are still held here, and pilgrimages are made by worshippers from around the world.
Memo to tourists: studying the sights of Kuala Lumpur in Russian, pay attention to the rules of their visit. For example, before entering the Batu Caves, do not decorate yourself with flowers and wreaths, as they are meant for offerings to deities.
Another Kuala Lumpur sightseeing highlights include the famous "Eye of Malaysia" Ferris wheel on the picturesque Lake Titiwangsa, Independence Square, as well as numerous parks (Bird Park, Deer Park) and temple complexes (Chan Si Shu Yen).
