Over the past few decades, KL has been developing extremely fast, making it a famous metropolis. The mix of its architectural heritage, combining Malay Islamic art, Asian style, and a touch of modernity, earned it this development.
The city has more than 200 skyscrapers and is home to the world's tallest twin towers: the Petronas Towers. They are located in the KLCC, an acronym for Kuala Lumpur City-Center, which is the luxurious and dynamic center of the capital. A little further on is the Menara Kuala Lumpur, also known as the KL Tower, whose view is breathtaking from the observation platform.
To contrast the futuristic side of this neighborhood, head to Little India, or Indian Neighborhood, as well as Chinatown which represents the cultural diversity. It is easy to wander the streets and discover their markets, which are real gold mines. You can enjoy culinary varieties at each of the stalls. In the same style, we find Jalan Alor, a night market, or Central Market. These are must-sees.
Close to the city center is the Batu Caves, which covers the largest Hindu shrine outside India. The complex consists of three main caves and many other much smaller ones. Before accessing the cathedral cave, the main one, you have to face a gigantic statue of 42 meters and an infinity of steps, precisely 272. Once you arrive, enjoy the vastness of the place and the natural wonders. ◄
