Kuala Lumpur General Tips by Audrey118

Fondest Memory: I went there with my brother and his friend. It was just something to do after our Japanese meal in Shangri La Hotel during a lazy Sunday. We walked from the hotel in the blazing sun, and cursed all the way up the steep slope. When we reached there, there was a queue for the tickets.... sigh!!!

But as soon as we got our tickets, we joined the queue to get up. While at the lift lobby, lookout above you, as there is marvelous small tiled framing the ceiling which is done traditionally in a historic Iranian style. Very ornate and mystifying.

When you get up there, we walked around the entire place. Becos we grew up in the city, we could pick out our school, Convent Bukit Nanas and St John's Institution. To our amusement, we were now able to see into parts of the school which were not within our access as students yonks ago. And then we looked at direction of our home, our past homes in the city. It was nostalgic. If you grew up in the city - you must do these with your pals. I did it with my best friend whom I knew since I was 6 years old -

Favorite Thing: Many tourist would love to get to the Petronas Sybridge - you have to get early and go get the tickets. It opens around 8-ish in the morning and they give the tickets for free..at the KLCC Petronas building - near the Philharmonic. There is sometimes great demand, but you will be given tickets for a couple of hours later. So do plan your ady ahead.

They allow 20 pax per car lift to get up, so you have to be there 15 minutes before your schedule visit up. You can take lots of pictures from above....

Favorite Thing: If you go to Lake Gardens area, you will see the magnificent white landmark - unfortunately few of us have a chance to go too near it. The road leading is not accessible by private cars.

Fondest Memory: After the Independence from the British in 1957, round December 1959, an area near the Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens was chosen as the site on which to build the Parliament Building Complex, a building that symbolizes the democratic principles that are practised.

I like the unique beehive patterns on the tower block. These bee hive shapes - or kerawans looks ornamental but has a purpose which allows the amount of sunlight entering the building to be controlled.
