Cheap Flights To Japan - Shopping food, kuala Lumpur Must-Go Places - Culture,
My highest record being thrice in a year, and I've already made several trips there, affordable package deals are always readily available for a short trip to Kuala Lumpur (KL), cheap.
Albeit a little touristy, but there are a few places still worth a visit here in Malaysia's capital city. In terms of the booming economy and skyscrapers dominating the city area, both Singapore and KL are very similar.
Petronas Twin Towers
The guided tour will take visitors all the way up to the sky bridge on the 41st floor. So make sure to reach there early, but be warned that they would only issue around 800 free passes per day for the guided tour. Long queues are always forming from 8.30am onwards for the free passes up the tower viewing gallery, here. And now Dubai also in the picture with their still-under-construction tower building, until Taiwan came up with their own 1O1, which was once the tallest building in the world, first and foremost is the Petronas Twin Towers.
Visitors will start with a ride in the dark which covers details on oil manufacture and the science of it, at Petrosains. A discovery centre about petroleum manufacturing, you can pay a visit to the Petrosains over there. So a good way would be to shop at the mega Suria KLCC shopping mall just next to it while waiting for your scheduled timing up the tower. I was there early queuing in the morning but the timing for my guided tour was scheduled in the afternoon due to the high demand for the free passes.
Which surrounds one with wonderful music from the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, there is also the Philharmonic Theater. Is the best place to take in the view of Kuala Lumpur, a pair of 88-storey buildings, petronas Twin Towers, at a dizzying height of 458 meters.
Menara Kuala Lumpur
You might even be able to see Genting Highlands on a fine day! This is the place to be in, splendid views of the city, excellent food, live music. Offering excellent buffet and great service for a reasonable price, revolving restaurant at the top of the tower, there's also a very cosy. You can get a bird's eye view of the Twin Tower and other magnificent buildings nearby. And the view from the observatory tower is spectacular, taking the lifts up clocks less than a minute. This tower has an observatory platform which is easily accessible by high speed lifts, located on a hill called Bukit Nanas. Another icon representative of KL is the Kuala Lumpur Tower (Menara Kuala Lumpur).
Sunway Lagoon
And indeed a well-worth trip to make, it's self sufficient. Several restaurants offer excellent cuisine as well. Alongside the shopping mall and the resort is a first-class hotel. Bowling alley and a water theme park, archery range, zoo, an Extreme park, an amazingly large lagoon, within the holiday resort itself is a shopping complex with over 300 shops. Sunway Lagoon is probably one the best integrated resorts in Malaysia.
Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque
It incorporates modern architectural style with Malay architecture in its design. And surrounded by the great lake of Shah Alam in the center of Shah Alam town, it is huge and magnificent. For its blue aluminum dome covered with verses from the Quran, this impressive building is often nicknamed the "Blue Mosque". The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque (In Malay: Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz), in Shah Alam (about 45 minutes from KL) lies one of the largest mosques in South-east Asia.
Batu Caves
The surreal carvings and paintings on the walls of the caves will impart a sense of spiritual feel to all who enters. A comfortable pair of shoes will work wonders. You've got to climb up a long fairly steep flight of stairs to enter the caves. The caves are made of limestone and discovered in 1892. It consists of three main caves and a number of smaller ones, large and imposing. A place of worship for the Hindus, about 13 km north of KL is the Batu Caves.
Central Market and Chinatown merdeka Square,
A beehive of stalls comes alive on the streets, in the evenings. Also known as Petaling Street is one of Kuala Lumpur's most popular tourist destinations, chinatown. The Central Market and Chinatown are also a mere 10 minutes walk away. The Merdeka Square is between the majestic Court House and the Selangor Club. It is always crowded with tourists and a visit at night would be much cooler. The Merdeka Square houses the tallest flagpole and has an ancient fountain, back to KL city centre.
Bargaining is highly recommended. But prices haven risen considerably in recent years due to the tourism effect, souvenirs and almost any other things, this is also the place to get cheap t-shirts. The historical shop houses add to the ambience, though it might get a little difficult to move around due to the crowds. Seafood to steamboat and more, bbq chicken wing, claypot chicken rice, offering plentiful choices from dumpling noodles, you can easily find a large variety of food ranging from roadside stalls to restaurants in Chinatown.
Not mentioning easy on the pockets, a holiday trip to this city can be a wonderful experience. And good hotel deals can be found almost any time of the year, hotels are considered cheap in this modern city.
