Kuala Lumpur
One of Asia's most vibrant cities, combining ultra modern skyscrapers with
bazaars and night markets, a visit to Kuala Lumpur is one of life's most
memorable experiences.
The skyline of KL is dominated by the Petronas Twin Towers, the world's tallest
building, yet at street level Malaysia's fascinating history is evident with the
splendour of Moorish buildings on Merdeka Square mixed with areas of old
colonial buildings and a vibrant Chinatown plus 'Little India' district.
There is a lively nightlife, combining fashionable alfresco cafes with trendy
bars and restaurants in the Bangsar quarter, and with its diversity of cultures
Malaysia is a gourmet's delight with excellent Chinese, Indian and of course
Malay cuisine.
No trip to KL would be complete without taking advantage of the shopping
bargains to be found, not just in the bazaars, but also in the regular 'sales'
in the modern air-conditioned shopping malls.
