Your personalised e-Brochure Kuala Lumpur 5* city break eBrochure ref: PDF481123 call Not Just Travel Isle of Wight direct on 01983716727 Kuala Lumpur Overview Kuala Lumpur is the bustling capital city of Malaysia and its showpiece of prosperity and grandeur. Unromantically, Kuala Lumpur means 'muddy estuary', a name coined by the original tin prospectors who arrived at the confluence of the Kelang and Gombak rivers in 1860. The city has progressed considerably since then, and now the river water reflects the glittering skyscrapers that rise elegantly, competing for dominance of the skyline. This city is a blend of old and new worlds, a melting pot of the diverse influences of Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures, making exploring Kuala Lumpur a fascinating experience. An exploration of Kuala Lumpur is best begun from Merdeka Square, the heart of the city. To the southeast of the square is the modern business centre and the bustling, colourful streets of Chinatown. The picturesque National Mosque (Masjid Negara) and impressive Railway Station can be located to the south, and beyond them to the west is the city's green belt. The tranquil and lush Perdana Botanical Gardens provide some respite from the frenetic activity of the city. The National Museum (Muzim Negara), the National Monument, and the Malaysian Parliament are also found on this stretch. Kuala Lumpur's most famous landmark, however, is the stunning Petronas Towers, which afford visitors phenomenal views of the city. Places to Visit Sightseeing Any time is a good time of year to visit Kuala Lumpur, where the city's skyline is a stark contrast of towering modern structures and charming heritage buildings; travellers who choose to holiday here will be able to enjoy the best of Southeast Asia's melting pot of traditional cultures and religions, as well as the modern attractions of this affluent city. The iconic Petronas Twin Tower, the world's tallest twin building, is Kuala Lumpur's most striking landmark, and a good place to start your sightseeing, as some of the most incredible views of the city can be enjoyed during a tour of the skyscraper. The breathtaking National Mosque (Masjid Negara Mosque), Friday Mosque (Masjid Jamek), and even the intricately ornate, Moorish-style Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, create an old-world charm. There are also some interesting old buildings surrounding Merdeka Square, the spot where Malaysian independence was declared in 1957. History buffs will love the National Museum where they can learn about Malaysia's culture and heritage, and enjoy a traditional shadow play. Outdoor enthusiasts will love Taman Negara, which contains some of the oldest rainforest in the world and spans thousands of square miles of protected land where visitors can enjoy trekking, fishing, river rafting, bird watching or even climbing the peninsula's highest mountain, Gunung Tahan. Merdeka Square (Dataran Merdeka) Region/City:Kuala Lumpur The 328-foot (100m) flagpole rising from Merdeka Square is one of the tallest in the world, and marks the place where Malaysia achieved independence at midnight on the 30th of August 1957. The square is the heart of Malaysian nationalism and one of the few places in the city where historic old colonial buildings can still be seen. The city's colonial past is still very much alive in the architecture of the surrounding buildings and the large field still hosts the occasional cricket matches. The Tudor-style Royal Selangor Club rests on one corner of the square, looking onto a large video screen displaying religious messages and advertisements. The Club served as a social centre for Kuala Lumpur's British residents; its doors are now open to anyone who can afford the membership fees. In keeping with die-hard customs women are still not allowed entry to the bar, except by invitation. Other buildings of interest around the square include St. Mary's Church, purported to be the first church built in Kuala Lumpur; the Abdul Sambad building, built in 1893 and named for one of the sultans; the High Court building; and the old Town Hall. There are some shops and restaurants in the vicinity and it is an interesting area to stroll around - the square is also nice to visit at night. Your personalised e-Brochure Kuala Lumpur 5* city break eBrochure ref: PDF481123 call Not Just Travel Isle of Wight direct on 01983716727 Chinatown Region/City:Kuala Lumpur The crowded and colourful Chinatown area is a jumble of shops, food, smells and people. The central section of Petaling Street is closed at night to traffic and the street is transformed into an exciting, brightly lit experience. Vendors spread their wares onto the pavement and one can stroll along endlessly taking it all in. Merchandise ranges from jewellery to toys and t-shirts - with lots of fake brands on sale - and bargaining for the best prices is accepted practice and part of the fun. There are many stalls in the market during the day but Chinatown is a more special experience at night, with the bright lights promising good photographs. However, no matter what time of day you visit, be sure to stay vigilant with your possessions as pick pockets are a problem in the area and the crowds, noise and multitude of distractions make it easy for them to operate. Chinatown's popularity is gradually causing a rise in both prices and petty crime, which is unfortunate, but there is great fun to be had, the food is always yummy, and there are certainly still bargains to seek out. Apart from all the exciting shopping and food, there are some great Chinese temples in the area, for those who want to experience a touch of the culture. Kids generally love the bright and busy area. Petronas Towers Region/City:Kuala Lumpur The Petronas Towers are designed to impress and encapsulate Malaysia's emergence as Southeast Asia's commercial and cultural centre. Celebrated as among the tallest towers in the world and the tallest twin towers, the building stands at a height of 1,483ft (452m) and the two towers are joined by a skybridge extending 192ft (58m) across. Traditional geometric principles of Islamic architecture have been followed using modern technology, with an inspiring result.
