Founded in the mid-nineteenth century, KUALA LUMPUR, or KL as it's popularly known, is the youngest Southeast Asian capital.
KL is home to a multitude of tongues, languages, religions, customs and home to its three largest communities--Malays, Chinese and Indians--and a multitude of lesser known tribes.
Places to see:
Supreme Court or the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, a Moorish-looking, the clock tower. Dataran Merdeka, or Independence Square was original a cricket field. Selangor Club, Cathedral of Virgin St Mary.
Jamek Mosque, the oldest in the country and located just behind the SAS Building.
The Central Market, formally a traditional fresh market in the old days, now have painters, sculptors, fortune-tellers and traders hawking a wide range of curios, collectibles and art. Petaling Street to buy DVD, watches, imitations cloths and bags
Lake Garden, Orchid Garden, Kuala Lumpur Bird Park, the Hibiscus Garden, Butterfly Park and Deer Park.
Petronas Twin Tower petroleum-funded structure. The 1,453 feet, was one of the world's tallest buildings.
Shopping -Suria KLCC, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Mid Valley Megamall, Bandar Utama.
When you are here do try the local fruits. Of course if you are brave enough do try The King of fruit 'DURIAN'. We just love it but it’s an acquired taste. Some say it smell horrible like old socks, cheese... etc.
The smell can be very strong but the creamy texture of the fruits is simply delicious.
Other fruits to try are rambutan, mangoes, mangosteen, jack fruit, cempedak, ciku, papaya and guava.
- Cons:Traffic can be hell at times!
- In a nutshell:Busy metropolitan!

Nice page Mary, your tips will be useful when we briefly vist in November. Thanks for visiting my Perth page, do not forget to take train to Mandurah, only 48 minutes, fantastic day trip.
I loved KL especially its Chinatown area ;-)
No picture of Nikko? You did not take me to drink guinness...you never know you get one more chance to do that....I think I had to ask you something but can't remember now :-P
Lovely Kuala Lumpur travel page with stunning photographs and excellent travel tips. Thanks for your Chinese New Year greetings. ~ho & pang
Hi Mary my Dad is coming to KL this year I think he will only be there for a couple of days then he has a 2 week tour of India. All work and no play I hope he gets some photos though
Went to KL with my sister few years back, found it very lovely and people friendly and warm, but ghee did it have to be so hot there?
Awesome tips from your home town. I now have some more places to see when I next visit. Regards Kim
Great page of KL. Enjoyed your nice photos too. Have not been to the Belly dancing restaurant.
