Experience

KUALA LUMPUR
             Kuala Lumpur fondly known as KL, is a modern
             and bustling city and is one of the region’s most
             properous capitals. KL consists of a melting pot
             of cultures infused together and boasts a variety
             of attractions such as interesting heritage sites,
             shopping, entertainment, nature and adventure.

             Here are some attractions you would not want to
             miss while you are here in Kuala Lumpur.

                  Petronas Twin Towers
                  The 452 metres tall Petronas Twin Towers is the tallest building in
                  Malaysia, and was once the tallest building in the world.

                  At the base of the Petronas Twin Towers is Suria KLCC, which is a
                  shopping mall that is very popular among tourists. Tourists can
                  also take a stroll along the beautiful landscaped KLCC Park, which
                  is located at the side of the twin towers, where it features a jogging
                  track, walking paths, water fountain and a wading pool for children.

                  Besides the mall and the park, there are also other attractions such
                  as the Aquaria KLCC, Petronas Art Gallery and Petrosains Science
                  Center inside the Petronas Twin Towers.

                  Batu Caves
                  Batu Caves is an iconic and most frequented tourist attraction in
                  Kuala Lumpur.

                  It is a limestone hill comprising 3 major caves featuring temples and
                  Hindu shrines. Outside Batu Caves stands the world’s tallest golden
                  statue of Lord Murugan, a Hindu Deity, at 42.7 metres tall.

                  The attraction of Batu Caves includes the steep 272 steps climb up
                  to finally view the stunning skyline of the city centre. Along your
                  way up, you will see lots of monkeys frolic around the caves.

                  Malaysian Food
                  Food can be considered as the national obsession. It is not
                  uncommon to be greeted by the phrase “Sudah makan?” which
                  means “Have you eaten?”. Malaysian food is heavily influenced by
                  Thai, Chinese, Indonesian and Indian cuisine. As elsewhere in Asia,
                  rice is an essential staple. Some of the popular Malaysian food are
                  Nasi Lemak, Char Kuey Teow, Roti Canai and Curry laksa. Our local
                  delicacies will definitely tantalise your tastebuds.

                  National Museum
                  The National Museum of Malaysia is a beautiful building
                  characterized by traditional Malay Minangkabau-style architecture
                  which stands in the heart of the city of Kuala Lumpur. It displays an
                  excellent introduction to Malaysia’s history, economy, geography,
                  arts, crafts and culture.
