"Kuala Lumpur" Kuala Lumpur by frankcanfly


Kuala Lumpur Travel Guide: 7,102 reviews and 12,683 photos

The above photo was taken at Merdeka Square, near the 'old' train station. This is near the Royal Selangor Club, the birthplace of the Hash House Harriers

We arrived in Kuala Lumpur with very little information preceding us. I was pleasantly surprised to find a modern, clean city with a large amount of charm.

Nightlife is easy to find in KL, we just walked a short way from our hotel and found a multitude of modern bars, restaurants and dance clubs

Now a symbol of KL's skyline, take a free trip up to the skybridge connectin the Petronas Twin Towers, tallest building(s) in the world.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Modern and surprisingly clean city
  • Cons:Lack of historic culture
  • In a nutshell:A great modern break from the jungle, or gateway to Malaysia
  • Last visit to Kuala Lumpur: May 2001

    What you can be aware of is the toilets opposite the main entrance of the Mosque are FOR MALAYSIANS ONLY! The attendants there will make you aware of that, and actually prevented my non-Malaysian friend from entering.

    Very interesting place... But I would have a dilemma: "africa" hot or dizzy air conditioning? ;-)

    KL is one of those places I prefer looking back on my trip than when I was actually there. Nice page, Frank.
