Kuala Lumpur

About Kuala Lumpur
capital city of malaysia

Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is located on the west coast of Peninsula of Malaysia. Covering some 243 sq km, it lies approximately 40 km from the coast. Kuala Lumpur -or KL as it is commonly called- lies in a valley surrounded by jagged hills. Kuala Lumpur was originally a mining settlement in the late 1800s where tin was discovered at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers. Although KL's tin trade has declined since, the prosperity of the city has continued to grow.

Kuala Lumpur leads the country's fast paced development in trade and commerce, banking and finance, manufacturing, transportation, information technology and tourism. The city began as a mining settlement in the late 1800s with the discovery of tin at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers. Although KL's tin trade has since declined, the growth of the city has remained unabated. Today, with a population of 1.5 million, it is the pulse of the nation. Kuala Lumpur leads the country's fast paced development in trade and commerce, banking and finance, manufacturing, transportation, information technology and tourism.

Things To See In Malaysia

If you are planning on taking a vacation in the near future, I recommend that you travel to Malaysia. Malaysia is a beautiful place to really enjoy yourself. There are plenty of places that you can visit while you are there if you are traveling to site-see. If you prefer to just relax, there are plenty of places devoted to that past time as well.

In all actuality, Malaysia is a place that all nature lovers should visit because it has pristine beaches, tropical islands, haunting caves and untamed jungles. The natural beauty of Malaysia will open your senses and capture your heart.

Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is the hub of Malaysia and is often overlooked by tourists. This is a mistake as there is a lot to see that will take your breath away including:

1) Petronas Twin Towers

2) Sultan Abdul Samad Building which is full of Victorian and Moorish architectural styles.

3) Tasek Perdana Lake Gardens which is a perfect place to have a picnic with your family or enjoy a nice walk.

4) Parliament House

5) National Monument

6) National Museum which is the home to many historical exhibits and also houses craftwork from many different parts of the nation and a wide variety of architectural styles that make it so unique.

7) National Mosque which is surrounded by spectacular lawns and elegant fountains that decorate the lawn like a Christmas tree, as strange as that may sound. The National Mosque was built in 1965; the dome on the Mosque is in the shape of an eighteen point star to represent the thirteen states in the country and the five central pillars of Islam.

8) Old Chinese Clan House where Chan See Yuen lived.

9) The Friday Mosque which is located in the middle of the Klang and Gombak rivers is the most popular place to visit in the city. A great place to watch the sun set.

Kuala Lumpur also offers many eating and shopping opportunities.

Magnificent Caves and Parks

1) The Batu Caves are located north of the city of Kuala Lumpur. They can be reached by climbing two hundred and seventy two steps. Wow, that is a lot of steps, isn’t it? These caves house the Hindu Shrine of Lord Subramanian.

2) The Museum Caves are full of brightly colored statues and murals from Hindu mythology.

3) Templar Park is nothing but all natural rainforest that is bubbling with beauty for everyone to see. It is full of jungle paths, swimming lagoons and waterfalls that all lie within the park boundaries. A magical place, indeed.

4) Malaysia’s agricultural park which is located in Shah Alam, Selangor at Cherakah has a large play area for all the skateboarders and roller skaters out there. If you have teens with you, this is the place for them.

Overall, Malaysia is a wonderful place to take a vacation. It is still considered exotic, but is becoming more of a mainstream destination as it gains in popularity.

Holiday Shopping Tips for Malaysia

Holiday makers have a myriad of reasons for choosing Malaysia as a holiday destination such as its diverse culture, wonderful scenery, friendly people, and fantastic food. But another reason is the great shopping. While shopping may not be the main reason you choose to holiday in Malaysia, while you're there you can indulge in some retail therapy as an added bonus; especially considering the bargain prices and wide variety to choose from.

While you will find bargains galore in most shopping malls throughout Malaysia the hot spot for shopping is the capital Kuala Lumpur, which has many large shopping malls to choose from, such as:

Suria KLCC

This shopping mall is situated in the city center's golden triangle and adjoins the Petronas Twin Towers (featured in the movie Entrapment starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones). The mall is extremely modern and is one of the more up-market malls in the city, with a total of six levels (an area of 1.5 million square feet). You'll find everything here that you'd find in any western shopping mall plus many locally made products and all at reasonable prices.

Sungai Wang Plaza

This shopping mall is located on Jalan Sultan Ismail across the road from the Grand Plaza Hotel. While certainly not as modern as some of the other shopping malls, what it lacks in building appeal is more than made up for in variety and price of the products available. Each of the six floors spread out in a maze of walkways and retail shops making it easy to loose hours just browsing. For ladies looking to update their shoe collection this is the place to do it. There are so many shoe shops here with beautiful dress shoes at bargain prices that you'll need an extra bag for the trip home. For wearers of eye glasses you will find a number of eyewear shops where you can get a new pair of modern glasses made within a day or two that will cost you half as much as in most western cities. This mall has so much to offer that you could easily spend a whole day there and still not reach the top floors.

Times Square

This mall is located around the corner from Sungei Wang Plaza and is within easy walking distance. This is yet another large mall which also includes a hotel and theme park (complete with rollercoaster). The shopping here is more up-market than the Sungei Wang Plaza which is also reflected in the prices. Although the price you'll pay for your purchases here is more than some of the budget outlets, you also get better quality goods so you do tend to get what you pay for.

China Town Markets

Located in Petaling Street the market is open everyday. Although the majority of stalls open from 5pm onwards the best time to visit is during the day as you'll still find many stalls open without the large crowd. Stall holders are happy to haggle over the price of goods of which there are lots to choose from. A good tip is to carry a bottle of water with you as it does tend to get very humid at the markets. Also try not to use the bathroom facilities at the markets if at all possible as they are not as hygienic as most westerners are used to.

General Tips

When preparing to head off on a shopping trip in Malaysia there are a few things to remember:

- Most shopping outlets in Malaysia don't open until 11am; however they do tend to stay open until around 10pm.

- Bathroom facilities in some of the older shopping malls can be an eye opener for westerners. Asian style toilets are sunken into the ground at the level of a small step for squatting rather than western style toilets for sitting; however most malls have an even mix of Asian and western style toilets within each bathroom.

- In older malls you may also have to pay the attendant at the door not only to use the bathroom itself but also for toilet tissue. A good travel tip is to purchase some personal facial tissues (you can get them in travel packs) and carry in your bag or backpack.

With such a large variety of goods to choose from at bargain prices in Malaysia you may be tempted to purchase more than you normally would. When shopping try to keep in mind that airlines have quite hefty charges for excess baggage weight which could make the price of those "bargains" sometimes more expensive than you'd pay at home, so always set yourself some limits.

Malaysia Travel

Malaysia is one of the most pleasant, hassle-free countries to visit in Southeast Asia. Several decades of sustained economic growth and political stability have made it one of the most buoyant and wealthy countries in the region, and although political power (Malay) and economic clout (Chinese) are still traditionally divided along racial lines, Malaysia has moved towards a pluralist culture based on a vibrant and interesting fusion of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous cultures and customs.
