ARCHITECTURAL LANDMARK

Sultan Abdul Samad Building. A historically-significant building, it was used to house the Federal Court before they moved to Putrajaya. The building's architecture reflects Moorish themes with plenty of copper dome minarets. A 40-foot clock tower rests in the middle.

Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square) was originally part of the Royal Selangor Club's cricket field but was converted into a landmark when it was used to announce Malaysia's independence in 1957. A 95-meter flagpole, one of the highest in the world, was erected on top of a large, square marble base to commemorate the event.

The KL Railway Station was built in 1911. The Moorish-styled building is located along Hishamuddin Street and during its heydays, was packed with people and housed a few outlets and restaurants.

It’s amazing you can see everything up there! You will love the tower even you’re afraid of heights! You MUST VISIT!

FIREFLY PARK Firefly Park Review

Here is one of two places in the world - the other being along the Amazon River in Brazil - where millions of fireflies can be seen to flash their 'lights'. The location along the Selangor River in Kampung Kuantan is special because it is easily accessible. The fireflies congregate on trees, which is reachable by a short sampan (traditional boat) ride. According to locals, the best time to see the fireflies is during the new moon, about one to four hours after sunset.

Enjoy dinner (included) at a local restaurant by the riverfront before boating upstream to watch thousands of fireflies sparkling in the thick mangrove along both sides of the river banks, a wonderful phenomena resembling rows of brightly lit Christmas trees.

Directions: From Pudu Raya Bus Station, kindly proceed to platform 23 for bus number 141 going to Kuala Selangor.
